Wondering how to earn account levels in Fortnite? You’re not alone. Every so often, Epic Games releases challenges that are tied to account levels rather than season or battle pass levels. The distinction is important, but it can also be confusing. Fortunately, it’s not as complex as it sounds. Here’s everything you need to know.

How to Earn Account Levels in Fortnite
Account levels simply refer to when your account levels up. It doesn’t matter when it happens. If you started an account and leveled it up 35 times in Chapter 5 Season 3 and are currently on level 55, then you have 90 account levels. It’s just an accumulation of the levels your account has seen across all seasons. For some players, that’s a long time. Fortunately, it usually only matters in the context of a timed challenge.
For example, there is currently a challenge for players to unlock the free Felina skin. All they have to do is earn 50 account levels, which is just 50 times leveling up on the battle pass. It doesn’t matter if it’s this season or next as long as it happens during the stated time frame. Fortunately, earning these levels is pretty easy. XP is granted for a lot of things, including just normal gameplay, but there are some ways to pointedly level up:
- Do Daily Challenges
- Complete All Weekly Challenges
- Talk with every NPC on the Map
- Creative Maps with XP enabled
- Win Battle Royale matches
- Do Storyline Quests
- Completing Milestones
Virtually anything that has XP attached to it is a great way to level your account up, so focus on that. It also helps to do these things when you’re supercharged. This multiplies the amount of XP you can earn, and it will help you level up quickly. This will get you to the free Felina skin, but it will also help you unlock Mysterio, Black Panther, War Machine, and other skins on the current battle pass.
