The Battle Pass of the new Season 5 in Fortnite: Battle Royale gives you the coveted skins Ragnarok and Drift. However, these can be significantly improved. So you will receive the necessary experience points!
The new Season 5 in Fortnite: Battle Royale has started: For many players, this means: hop into the golf cart and tackle the first weekly challenges. Buyers of the Battle Pass (950 V-Bucks, approx. 9.50 Euros) can pave their way to Level 100 to unlock the skins Drift and especially Ragnarok.
But acquiring the skins is not the end of the task: As already seen in Season 4 with Carbide and Omega, you can further improve Drift and Ragnarok and unlock additional clothing options. For this purpose, you only need to gain experience points this time.
The major change from previous seasons: You are no longer tied to a specific season to unlock all improvements. You can continue to upgrade Ragnarok and Drift – even if Season 5 has already ended.
Drift – these upgrades you can unlock
The Drift skin is unlocked immediately upon obtaining the Battle Pass and can thus be improved immediately. The following upgrade levels will be unlocked during the season:
- Sweater – 10,000 EXP
- Vest – 25,000 EXP
- Mask – 50,000 EXP
- Jacket – 100,000 EXP
- Electrifying Effect – 200,000 EXP
If you reach four of the five upgrade levels, you will also receive a unique pickaxe.
These are the upgrade levels of Ragnarok
The Ragnarok skin is not unlocked until Battle Pass Level 100, which already represents quite a bit of work. However, this is just the beginning: To unlock all upgrades for Ragnarok, you will need a lot of patience:
- Level 1 – 35,000 EXP
- Level 2 – 75,000 EXP
- Level 3 – 125,000 EXP
- Level 4 – 250,000 EXP
- Level 5 – 500,000 EXP
For Ragnarok as well, you can earn your own pickaxe after four upgrade levels – the Permafrost.
Since Ragnarok requires significantly more experience points than Drift, you will definitely have fully upgraded Drift by the time you reach the fourth upgrade level. But how do you get so many experience points? And which season level corresponds to 500,000 EXP?
How to maximize your experience gain in Fortnite: Battle Royale!
To fully upgrade Carbide and Omega in Season 4, Season Level 65 or 80 was required. The numbers now specified for Drift (200,000 EXP) and Ragnarok (500,000 EXP) can also be transferred to the Season Level (if you want to complete both skins in Season 5).
The site Orcz.com has published an EXP chart that shows that 200,000 EXP was achieved at level 56 in Season 4. For 500,000 EXP, players had to fight their way up to level 79. While the chart applies to the completed Season 4, it should also be transferable to Season 5. But fundamentally, it doesn’t matter what Season Level you reach, as in the end, only the XP counts. However, it is a good guideline for how high you should level up.
What can I do to maximize experience gains? Average players will find it very difficult to reach the 500,000 EXP required for Ragnarok. Those who do not regularly secure victories or play in squads will have a hard time. Fortunately, however, you have almost unlimited time, as this challenge does not necessarily have to be mastered in Season 5.
You can also follow these tips:
- Kill as many opponents as possible – Each defeated enemy gives you valuable experience points! Those who do not eliminate opponents will receive less EXP.
- Get as far as possible – Those who regularly land in the top 10 will be rewarded with EXP. Make sure to prolong your survival as much as possible (and take out a few kills in between).
- Level up the Battle Pass – You should quickly unlock the bonus EXP nodes in the Battle Pass that significantly increase your experience gain.
- Play with friends – Those who play with friends who also have the Battle Pass can reap double experience bonuses.
- Secure epic victories – Epic victories, meaning match wins, bring by far the most experience (but are also the hardest to achieve).
- Complete challenges – Regardless of whether daily or weekly challenges – they all yield a certain amount of experience points.
The summary: Form a squad of four people, level up the Battle Pass together, and secure as many victories as possible. This way, you will fill your experience points account the fastest.
Are you planning to complete Ragnarok? Or do you think you have no chance of ever reaching 500,000 XP?
