Accolades have been a staple in Fortnite Battle Royale since the beginning, offering an efficient means of leveling up rapidly. The following provides an overview of what accolades are and how to obtain them.
As a means of encouraging its player base to progress through the game, Fortnite provides a variety of means by which users can increase their level and gain access to the Battle Pass and its associated bonuses more quickly.
In addition to the standard method of leveling up, players may speed up the process by completing quests, using Creative mode, or purchasing level-up packs.
Accolades, on the other hand, have proven to be the most crucial element in terms of awarding XP to players during gameplay. These are the smaller goals that a player can attain throughout a Battle Royale match.
Here’s what they are in Fortnite and how you can acquire them to complete certain Fortnite quests associated with them.
Accolades grant extra XP during the match based on your smaller achievements
Accolades and how to get them in a Fortnite match
These “Accolades” are small achievements in Fortnite that are given out automatically for achieving certain goals in a Battle Royale match. You’ll see a notification like the one seen in the image above after you’ve got an accolade.
Above you can see the 500 XP reward for earning the Shotgun Master accolade for doing 1000 Shotgun damage to enemies during a match. In Fortnite, there are a plethora of Accolades up for grabs, all of which add up throughout a game.
Simply play the game and then navigate to the Match Stats section after the match concludes to view your medals and other Accolades. Since these Accolades are tied to your performance in a particular match, you won’t be able to view them again after you’ve returned to the lobby.
Accolades earned are listed on the post-match screen
