As part of Chapter Four, season one, Epic Games implemented a new mechanic to the battle pass that requires players to earn a specific number of Account Levels if they want to unlock new Alt Styles. This gives them a secondary purpose other than tracking progress.
Fortnite doesn’t elaborate on what Account Levels are, so players are confused about how to get the new Outfit styles. Here’s all the information you need to know about how to get Account Levels in Fortnite.
What are Account Levels in Fortnite?
Account Levels in Fortnite allow players to track their progression through a season or a chapter. Many players think of Season Levels when talking about Account Levels, but they aren’t the same. If you were to create a new Fortnite account right now and level up to 50 in two different seasons, your Account Level would be at 100, making it the ultimate flex to show how long you’ve been playing the battle royale.
What’s the best way to get Account Levels in Fortnite?
You can earn Account Levels in Fortnite by completing different challenges and just playing the game. What’s not so obvious is that for each level they get on the battle pass, they are also contributing to their larger Account Level. For each level you get on a seasonal battle pass, you get one added to your overall Account Level, which never resets.
So it follows that the best way to get Account Levels is the same as the fastest way to earn your battle pass levels. Completing weekly and daily challenges will likely be your fastest way to earn Account Levels, with each week’s challenges providing multiple levels. You can also get milestone levels by just playing the game.
There are lots of other ways to earn Account Levels, with some examples including:
- Purchasing battle pass levels with V-Bucks
- Playing Creative modes with XP enabled
- Earning battle pass experience in Save the World mode
As long as you’re playing, you’re likely earning experience toward your battle pass and, thus, your Account Level. With two months left in this season, players have plenty of time to earn the Account Levels they need to unlock the Midseason Drops.
How to check your Account Level in Fortnite
You won’t be able to see your Account Level in Fortnite‘s main menu as you’ll need to navigate around its menus.
- Click on the Career tab while you’re in the lobby.
- Check the right corner of the screen while you’re in the Career tab to see your Fortnite Account Level.
