My main goal during this season of Fortnite was to get the Erisa outfit from the Battle Pass. Having joined this season halfway through I was fairly confident I would be able to make it in time considering she unlocks at level 70. Turns out EXP is abundant in Fortnite these days so this goal was reached faster that I had expected.
Leveling up is easy
Leveling up was way easier than I had expected it to be. It's not like the old days of 2018 when you basically had to grind out the game for hours every day to max out the Battle Pass. Each level of the Battle Pass requires 80000 EXP and it comes in abundance.
My strategy for leveling up was quite simple. Each match I drop in with the goal of completing at least one quest and there's a lot to chose from. Each day you get a set of dailies and for each you complete you get 15000 EXP which caps out at 45000 daily. These are fairly simple and can mostly be done by just playing the game normally. Objectives might be to kill 2 players with an Assault Rifle or to loot boxes from a gas station.
There's also Resistance quests which kinda tell a story as you progress them. I haven't really been able to follow this story as I think it stretches back to the beginning of the chapter. There's some Resistance that's fighting against someone called the IO and I don't know why. All I know is that each quest I complete in this series grants me 23000 EXP. and there's a lot of them. These mostly consist of visiting a location to establish an uplink after which you're given a specific task, like planting a spy cam or something.
The Season quests are another great source of EXP. There's a new set of quests added weekly and they give a lot og EXP. Each one gives you 20k EXP and at certain milestones, say when you've completed 3, 5, 8 quests and so forth you get another bonus of 40k EXP. These quests are more focused on doing various things tied to the map like visiting several names locations in one match.
Star Wars event came in clutch
I was also greatly assisted by the recent Star Wars event that started about two weeks ago. This was probably announced in advance but to me it came outta nowhere. This brought about another set of 7 quests that were fairly simple to do and awarded 30k EXP for each. That's almost 3 whole levels just from this.
This brought around some new gear to the map with laser blasters and lightsabers starting to appear. The laser blasters have really poor aim which I found funny considering the whole "storm troppers have bad aim" meme. The lightsabers deal a lot of melee damage and can also block shots like a lightsaber would. Pretty cool!
More goals!
My next goal now is to keep leveling that Battle Pass when I can to unlock more styles for Irisa. I think there's 4 other variants that can be unlocked but they do require leveling the Battle Pass to at least level 180 which I probably won't be able to do seeing as the season ends in the first week of June. I'm gonna be pushing it as high as I can though!
I haven't been able to play for about a week now due to being busy and having been out of town for a few days. Tomorrow is constitution day so I won't be able to play until later in the week. There' sa lot of daily quest exp that's escaping me here but that's how it. Sometimes life comes around and takes your EXP away. Damn you life!
