Summary
Players have discovered that the level cap has been removed inFortnite. Although there are plenty of reasons to continue playingFortniteand various new game modes and changes constantly being made, some players enjoy the achievement of leveling up, which can offer Battle Pass rewards, but also just to showcase the amount of time and effort spent playing.
Leveling inFortnitehas remained a cyclical task for the entirety of the game’s release until recently. Each season, players would be able to continue leveling up to a certain point, and then it would no longer impact gameplay or rewards in any functional manner. In many of thenewerFortniteseasons, rewards in the game’s Battle Pass have stopped at level 200, but players would still be able to accumulate XP and hit a cap of 1,001. Some players would challenge themselves to hit the maximum level during some seasons, but an update could make that progress vanish. It seems like this will no longer be the case going forward.
Fortnitesource ShiinaBR has shared information noticed by ItsADAMO_ and Many0354 showing that the level cap inFortnitehas been removed. So far, it seems that gamers will now be able to level up endlessly, with the player ManyshkaCSE at the top of the game’s leaderboard, currently shown at level 1,014. Previously, the level cap inFortnitewas set at 1,001, however, there have beenchanges made to the wayFortniteawards XP to players. And as time passes, players may be able to push even further beyond what they thought the limit was.
Fortnite Removes Level Cap
So far, Epic Games and theFortniteteam have not acknowledged the change in any capacity, so it’s unclear why this restriction was lifted. It’s possible that the team could have plans to make further tweaks to the leveling system present inFortniteand that this is a preliminary step. However, it’s also just as possible within theprocess of recentFortniteXP adjustments and buffsthat the change was made because the level cap was deemed trivial, and it makes it more fun to show just how much XP gamers have accumulated over time.
Being able to show off one’s account level inFortnitemay simply end up becoming a new social element of the game in the same way that usingskins from classic olderFortniteseasons is now seen as a flex. For many, the point may simply be longevity, and several gamers have pointed out in response to this change that they do not necessarily care about whether new rewards for higher levels inFortniteare added. What matters to many dedicated fans is being able to have the bragging rights that come with a higher level.
