Big changes are coming to Fortnite as Epic announces progression system overhaul

Fortnite is making a big change to the way XP is earned across all of its passages. This change will allow players to enjoy the game more freely than before, as they will no longer need to play specific modes to earn XP in them.

According to the Fortnite website, the new system will see players earn XP for all passes at the same time on a single track, no matter what type of experience they participate in. Music Pass (previously called Festival Pass) will make this change on November 2nd, with the Fortnite Festival Season 6. LEGO Pass will follow suit on December 1st, with changes applied to Brick or treat Pass LEGO. The website states that "Until December 1st, all Fortnite passes will progress simultaneously, earning XP when playing any experience."

Fortnite There are several modes for fans to enjoy, but some of them are more popular than others. Previously, only the Battle Royale Battle Pass allowed players to earn XP from any experience, regardless of what mode they were in. Now Epic will bring the same system to its other Passes, which will allow fans to subscribe to the passes and unlock rewards. without having to actually play the modes they are associated with.

Epic's decision to change how passes work could indicate that the company isn't selling as many premium Music or LEGO passes as it would like. Many fans simply preferred to play other modes and not get stuck in the specific modes needed to progress. through reward levels. Now that XP will be earned in any mode across all Passes, more players will be able to join the experience.

Exclusive rewards won't be so exclusive

This puts pressure on Epic to motivate players to sign up

This isn't the first major change Epic has brought to the game's systems recently. A few months ago, Epic announced that the exclusive Battle Pass Fortnite Skins may appear in the in-game store 18 months after they are introduced. It seems like Epic is shaking things up for players by constantly changing systems.

This can be a good and bad move. For one, fans now have the potential chance to pick up old skins they may have missed should they reappear in the store. On the other hand, Epic will have to continue giving players a lot of incentives so that fans will continue paying for Battle Passes. This puts a lot of pressure on the company, which has had some unpredictable projects in recent chapters. The latest changes to Fortnite The system will be fully implemented across all Battle Passes by December 1st.
