How To Get Supercharged XP In Fortnite

There are plenty of ways to speed up your leveling in Fortnite, including the supercharged XP bonus. However, the requirements for activating it and how it works remain a mystery to some player’s seasons after it was first implemented. If you’re also confused about what supercharged XP is and how to get it, we’ve got you covered.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to get supercharged XP in the latest, 6th season of Fortnite, as well as how it worked in previous seasons. Additionally, we’ll answer a couple of the common questions related to the bonus.

What Is Supercharged XP?

First, let’s define what a supercharged XP is – it’s a bonus that doubles your XP. The bonus activates as soon as you sign in after meeting the requirements.  It applies to any actions in the game apart from discovering new areas on the map. However, there’s a cap on the maximum XP you can get.

How to Get Supercharged XP in Season 2?

Although the second season of Fortnite is long gone, the way supercharged XP works didn’t change. Back in the early days, some players used to confuse double XP weekends with supercharged XP. However, these are two different bonuses.

To get the double XP, you have to play during the weekend (not any weekend, though – these are one-off events), whereas to activate the supercharged XP, you have to skip your quick and daily quests. That may sound strange, but it allows players who don’t play that often to stay on a decent level compared to those who play every day. When you log in to Fortnite the next day, the supercharged XP should activate.

A common misconception is that the bonus lasts for four tiers. That’s not always the case – in fact, it lasts until you gain the amount of XP that you missed not completing the daily quests. Thus, skipping these quests isn’t a way to gain more XP than players who complete them, but rather a way to save time.

How to Get Supercharged XP in Season 3?

Season 3 was slightly different from season 2 in terms of the supercharged XP bonus. To get it, you should have skipped quick and daily missions, but the XP was only released at the end of the season.

This information may seem senseless as the third season is gone, but it indicates that developers may decide to do this again in the future. Thus, make sure to check the supercharged XP activation requirements before the start of every new season instead of relying on the memory of previous seasons.

How to Get Supercharged XP in Season 4

In season 4, the supercharged XP was back to the game from the very start, meaning that players who couldn’t play as often as others got their advantage back. All you had to do was skip completing daily quests. Once you logged in to the game the next day, the bonus got activated.

How to Get Supercharged XP in Season 5

To activate the supercharged XP, you have to skip your quick and daily quests. That may sound odd at first, but it allows players who don’t play that often to stay on a decent level compared to those who play every day.

You can still play every day, though – but you have to check in advance what are the quick and daily challenges to avoid completing them. When you log in to Fortnite the next day, the supercharged XP should activate.

A common misconception is that the bonus lasts for four tiers. That’s not always the case – in fact, it lasts until you gain the amount of XP that you missed not completing the daily quests. Thus, skipping these quests isn’t a way to gain more XP than players who complete them, but rather a way to save time.

How to Get Supercharged XP in Season 6?

In terms of supercharged XP, nothing has changed with the recent release of the new Fortnite season. To activate it, you still have to skip completing quick and daily quests. You can still play every day, but make sure to check in advance what are the current quick and daily quests to avoid completing them.  

There’s no issue with completing legendary and weekly challenges, though – in fact, combining them with the supercharged XP bonus is desirable. Once you log in to the game the next day, the bonus will get activated and will last until you gain the amount of XP you missed by skipping quests. That’s right – supercharged XP won’t give you an enormous advantage compared to players that complete them, but can save you a lot of time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read this section to find out more about the way supercharged XP works in Fortnite.

How Long Does Supercharged XP Last?

A lot of players think that the supercharged XP bonus lasts for four tiers. This misconception likely occurred because it’s a common time frame in the game, but it won’t necessarily be the same for everyone.

In reality, the bonus lasts until you gain the same amount of XP you have missed by skipping quick and daily quests. Once the supercharged XP activates, your XP bar will turn golden. Before it expires, you will see a white lightning icon beside it, then, your XP bar will switch back to purple.

Is It Possible to Get Unlimited Supercharged XP?

It is possible to keep your XP supercharged the whole time if you keep skipping your quick and daily quests. Then, day after day when you log in, the bonus will get activated.

However, if you manage to gain more XP in a day than the amount you missed by skipping daily quests, it will expire, and you will have to wait until the next day. Of course, that doesn’t mean you have to stop playing for the day – even a regular amount of XP will help you move to the next tier, after all.

Use the Bonus Wisely

As you can see, activating supercharged XP in Fortnite is much easier than it may seem at first. The issue is that the developers never really revealed how it works, so players had to figure it out themselves. Keep in mind that supercharged XP isn’t an ultimate, magical way to reach the top tier faster than others, but rather a daily quest replacement.

Furthermore, although you have to skip daily quests to activate the bonus, you can still complete legendary and weekly quests and receive double XP – don’t miss them out, and good luck in season 6.
