Fortnite Chapter 6 XP Buff: How To Unlock Baymax, Godzilla & Battle Pass Rewards Faster!

Grinding through the Fortnite Battle Pass just got a whole lot easier in Chapter 6, thanks to a massive XP buff that rewards players simply for playing. Whether you’re exploring Fortnite Reload, the new LEGO mode, or the nostalgic Fortnite OG, this update makes leveling up less of a chore.

Here’s the full rundown on the XP changes and how you can use them to unlock everything in the Battle Pass.

What’s New with XP in Chapter 6?

Epic Games has boosted playtime XP significantly for the first time since introducing alternative modes. Previously capped at just 1.1 million XP per week, players can now earn up to 4,000,000 XP weekly starting December 3.

Here’s how it breaks down:

• First 35 Hours Each Week: Earn 1,900 XP per minute (just for playing).
• After 35 Hours: Earn 550 XP per minute until the weekly reset on Thursdays.

 

 

What Does This Mean for Your Battle Pass Grind?

According to leaker iFireMonkey, this update lets you grind through 50 levels in just one week if you put in the playtime. That’s half the Battle Pass completed through playtime XP alone, meaning you can earn every Chapter 6 skin, including Baymax and Godzilla, in just two weeks.

If you’re a casual player or prefer side modes like Reload or LEGO, you’ll still make meaningful progress without needing to tackle quests or rely on eliminations in the main Battle Royale mode.

Where Can You Earn the New Playtime XP?

The buff applies to three specific Fortnite modes:

1. Fortnite Reload – An action-packed side mode.
2. LEGO Mode – A creative, building-focused experience.
3. Fortnite OG – Relive your favorite Chapter 1 memories.

However, XP is shared across these modes, meaning playtime in one reduces what you can earn in the others. This helps prevent players from exploiting the buff and leveling up too quickly.

 

 

Why This Buff Matters

Freedom to Play Your Way

Before this update, leveling up outside the main Battle Royale mode felt like a grind. Now, you can focus on your favorite mode without worrying about falling behind.

A Nostalgic Boost for Fortnite OG

With Fortnite OG returning on December 6, the XP buff is perfectly timed. Players can enjoy revisiting the Chapter 1 map while effortlessly leveling up.

Speedier Progress for Skins and Rewards

Unlocking every Battle Pass reward is more achievable than ever, whether you’re chasing the Baymax outfit, the Godzilla skin, or bonus styles.

Final Thoughts

The XP buff in Fortnite Chapter 6 is a game-changer for casual and hardcore players alike. Whether you’re clocking hours in OG, testing your creativity in LEGO mode, or mixing it up in Reload, you’ll now see steady Battle Pass progress with minimal effort.

So, grab your squad, hop into your favorite mode, and start racking up that sweet XP—unlocking Baymax, Godzilla, and all the other Chapter 6 rewards has never been this easy.
