The shorter season was a celebration of the game’s past and featured collaborations with rappers like Snoop Dogg, Ice Spice, Eminem, and the late artist Juice WRLD. Epic Games even managed to break its own record for concurrent players withinFortniteduring the season’s finale event.
Fortniterecently made changes to its Fortnite Crew subscription model. Under the new system, players gain premium access to all of the game’s rewards, including the battle pass, music pass, Lego pass, and the upcoming pass for Fortnite OG. After the announcement, Epic Games released Chapter 6 with major changes to the way the game handles XP. While modes like Reload once had their own daily quests with large XP rewards,Fortnitehas streamlined these objectives into what it’s calling global daily bonus goals. This means completing daily quests in any mode will only grant three major XP rewards to players every day.
Under the previous system, players could receive large amounts of XP by hopping between game modes and completing daily quests. Many fans feel the new system has limited the amount of XP players can earn when engaging with the game’s various modes, with some taking to social media to express immense dissatisfaction with the XP rewards inFortnite’s Chapter 6 Season 1. ARedditor recently made a postsaying that players have finally gotten the attention of Epic Games. The post shows an interaction between a player and the account FortniteStatus on Twitter. FortniteStatus is an official Epic Games account and asked the player to clarify which mode was rewarding insufficient XP. Some Redditors were quick to comment that it was an issue pervasive across all of the game’s modes. This is coming hot off the heels of some players also expressing dissatisfaction withFortnite’s recent battle pass price increase.
