A new XP glitch in Fortnite Festival lets players easily level up. Players have used exploits in previous seasons as well across different chapters to farm XP. However, all you had to do in this one was play the Festive Jam Stage for around 20 minutes. The best part about it was you could just go AFK and come back!
However, at the time of writing this article, it has been patched. So it is unlikely you will be able to use it. For those curious about what the exploit was about and how it worked, here are the steps to perform it:
How to Perform Fortnite Festival XP Glitch
This method does require a friend so that you can join them. Don’t worry though, in case you can’t play with someone then you can also try this using an alt account. Some players do claim it to be working so you can your luck out. Basically here is what you do:
- Ask your friend to invite you to their lobby. You can use your alt account to invite your main account. Basically, the account that wants to perform the XP glitch shouldn’t be the leader.
- Make sure you haven’t completed the “Play on the Jam Stage for 20 minutes” quest. This quest is important to make the glitch work.
- Select the Festive Jam Event and start playing.
- Look for an empty stage, start playing an instrument and you can go AFK for the next 20 minutes.
- Once done, leave the game and when you are back in the lobby you will level up once.
- Now, the last thing you have to do is rejoin them and leave the match.
- Each time you do this it levels up once.
- Repeat the joining and leaving steps as many times as you want to level up!
Will Fortnite Ban You for Using XP Glitch?
Fortnite typically isn’t known for banning players for using exploits. There also haven’t been many known cases of them reverting the Battle pass progress. Most importantly, as of now, it happens to be patched. So it should be harmless to try. If nothing happens, you at least will complete your quest. In the best-case scenario, the glitch will work and you can level up. But if you are still not sure about the risks then you should avoid trying it.
