Are you unsure about how to earn account levels in Fortnite? You’re not alone. Periodically, Epic Games introduces challenges that are linked to account levels rather than season or battle pass levels. This distinction is important, but it can be a bit confusing. Fortunately, the process is simpler than it may seem. Here’s all you need to know.

How to Earn Account Levels in Fortnite
Account levels are simply a representation of when your account levels up. It doesn’t matter when this occurs. For instance, if you started an account and leveled up 35 times in Chapter 5 Season 3, and you are currently on level 55, then you have accumulated 90 account levels. It’s a cumulative count of the levels your account has reached across all seasons. For some players, this time span can be quite long. However, it typically 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 need to do is earn 50 account levels, which translates to leveling up on the battle pass 50 times. It doesn’t matter if these levels are achieved in the current season or the next, as long as it’s within the specified time frame. Fortunately, gaining these levels is relatively straightforward. XP is awarded for various actions, including normal gameplay, but there are specific ways to actively level up:
- Complete Daily Challenges
- Finish All Weekly Challenges
- Interact with every NPC on the Map
- Explore Creative Maps with XP enabled
- Achieve Victory in Battle Royale matches
- Engage in Storyline Quests
- Reach Milestones
Anything that offers XP is an effective way to level up your account, so concentrate on these activities. Additionally, it’s beneficial to undertake these tasks while you are supercharged. This boosts the amount of XP you can earn, leading to quicker leveling up. This not only allows you to obtain the free Felina skin but also aids in unlocking other skins like Mysterio, Black Panther, and War Machine on the current battle pass.
