If you're reading these lines and you haven't yet reached level 100 of the Battle Pass, then you really don't play Fortnite very often! Indeed, this season, experience points were very easy to acquire. All the casual players have reached phenomenal levels during Chapter 2 Season 1 — often surpassing level 300.
You have to go back a few months to figure out what's wrong with it. Until Season 10, the maximum level of a Fortnite account was 100 — a relatively prestigious threshold at the time that required frantic play and often meant completing the Battle Pass.
With the inaugural season of Chapter 2, Fortnite revisits how progression and grind work. No more Battle Stars! From now on, everything works in XP. Level progression becomes theoretically infinite. At the beginning of the season, the community is delighted with the news: it's always nice to be able to show off a very high level and who knows, this system may bring new rewards!
But here's the thing: the season advances, its end date is pushed back twice, overtime missions follow one another, and soon players reach level 100 of their Battle Pass — without the satisfaction of being able to unlock new rewards. With the new daily medal system, the challenges that each earn 52,000 experience points, and the fact that every action performed on the battle royale (fishing, opening a trunk, elimination...) also brings points, players are literally drowning in their overfilled experience gauges.
We'll be told that for very casual players, it's important to be able to quickly earn XP to fully enjoy the final rewards of the Battle Pass. Of course, but here the gain of easy experience points nullifies the interest of progression for more regular players. A vast majority of them reached level 100 at mid-season, with tons of XP challenges on their hands — not interesting challenges at all. What is the best part? The prestige challenges, which act as overtime challenges and which each bring 800,000 XP to players.
An amount of experience that is as colossal as it's superfluous because completing these challenges implies having played for hours, having reached level 100, and being at season level 350 (approximately).
The non-limit of the season level wouldn't have been a problem if specific rewards were given to very high levels. One could have imagined exclusive cosmetics for levels 200, 300, 400... Unfortunately this won't be the case, unless Epic Games changes its plan two weeks before the start of Season 2.
This is one of the most enigmatic leaks from update 11.50. On the Eye Land, in the center of the map, props will apparently turn into indestructible gold.
