Epic Games has removed passive XP gains in Fortnite's main Battle Royale and Zero Build modes. Previously, players earned 550 XP per minute in Battle Royale, significantly aiding progression in the battle pass. Passive XP was recently introduced earlier this season, which expedited leveling. The removal coincides with the Summer Road Trip event that rewards players for gaining XP through quests. This change may either encourage completion of quests or slow down new players before the upcoming end of Chapter 6 Season 4 on August 7.
Epic Games removed passive XP gains from Fortnite's Battle Royale and Zero Build modes on Thursday, coinciding with its Summer Road Trip event which rewards XP for completing quests.
Playing Battle Royale previously awarded 550 XP per minute, contributing to a faster leveling of the battle pass. However, passive XP was newly introduced earlier this season.
The absence of passive XP is likely related to the ongoing Summer Road Trip event and is not expected to significantly hinder player progress on daily quests.
The change might also be intended to slow down newcomers who wish to catch up before Chapter 6 Season 4 concludes on August 7.
