Fortnite Leak Says XP Rewards Will Be Improved Again

Fortnite Leak Says XP Rewards Will Be Improved Again Very Soon.

Fortnite Season 8 is getting its second XP benefit in a review coming today. After a historically slow start to the season’s XP gains, players can now enjoy significantly more XP for completing missions, including repeatable party missions. Things that once didn’t issue XP at all will now reward you by the thousands.

The fix should arrive today according to Fortnite data miners, though Epic has yet to say anything on the matter. The focus of the review is to increase, quite dramatically and for the second time in about a week, the amount of XP players get by completing Party Quests, which are the five missions assigned to each Fortnite Season 8 NPC.

At the beginning of the season, these challenges did not award XP for repeatedly completing party missions, but after Patch 18.10, they began to issue XP in amounts of 500-750 XP depending on the challenge. As of today, those numbers are skyrocketing even higher, with the most lucrative challenges handing out nearly 4,000 XP per completion.

Because these are Party Missions, players get XP no matter who in their squad completes the challenge as well. That means playing in a group of four like-minded XP hunters could jump all over many levels in just a few hours and with no limitations other than free time itself.

In total, that turns each NPC’s five-part questline into a bundle of 14,550 XP each, or about the same as doing an additional daily challenge with each questline completion. Suffice it to say, Fortnite fans have a lot more to gain from just doing the things they’re already doing, and not long ago they were doing it just for a few measly bars of gold.

We’ll update this story if Epic makes any official announcements, but sometimes with things like this they just let players find out on their own. The change is expected to occur today, October 6.
