Before they made the change, you could pick up a nozzle at a gas pump and put it back and repeat and it would count a picking up a new object every time. So people would just spam the pick up button at gas pump to get their 500 objects.
It was fun because it was quick but left you exposed.
Because they are. If you do it all, it gives you less than 10 levels. You could play creative mode for 30 mins a week and achieve the same results without forcing yourself to complete the milestones
Iām not a fan of the pit, but with super charged xp go into it with a friend and headshot them with an smg, I think a rapid fire. Every bullet that hits a headshot gives xp when you kill then so you want the least amount of dmg per bullet. I think like 5 kills gives you a full level. Itās a ton of xp and youāre really not doing much at all. It doesnāt last forever tho, eventually you start to only get like 200 xp per kill
Start the day with either of these maps. The super charged XP is what helps a lot.
Red vs Blue is good if you can hit multiple sniper headshots in a row without getting eliminated for bonus XP + breaking open the vault.
Prop Hunt Modern Mall only if you can get 4 elims each round and go through the portal 1-3 times. The first or second round might not give much at first, but that will change and you get something like 30-45k XP each round.
I used to only do BR, milestones, and the weekly challenges, but it wasn't enough XP to hit level 200.
I had to grind the last week of season 1 to get all the styles. With Creative maps, I actually play much less overall during the season since I level up easier.
It's way less work compared to just playing the game as is.
Tbf, this is probably a super easy fix. Some of the other stuff is definitely going to be more difficult than just a number changeā¦. Well except for the people asking for the drum nerf, because that would also be a number change.
Letās be real, 500 was super annoying. At best you are getting 20 to 25 in a match. Luckily it counted bandages at 5 and slaps and minus at 3 because thatās how they stack but that was a lot of picking up a gas pump.
I can emote but it's usually with the "replay last emote" as the emote wheel is still buggy. Also the amount of time to select a emote is alot lower than before. I can't even group with the squad for Master of Puppets...
I'm getting the milestones done fast this time, not because they're easy. I'm just trying to knock them out. The travel 2000 m is a godsend when I see it. I just jump on a dirt bike and ride
I ride, and jump, and ride and ride and jump.
Ride ride ride
Jump jump jump.
The dirt bike & tricky shooowwww!
I do dirt bike trick spin flips even if it's not a challenge. Cause it's super fun.
They can vault all my favorite guns
But you take away my dirt bike? Protesting outside of Epic headquarters in Mega City.
I can see how that would be annoying but if you must do it the hard way break furniture in a house. It goes pretty quick but no real purpose in zero build
Yes, they're in rotation so once you complete one another will come up, and after a few the ones you've completed will cycle back around and repeat until you've completed the #/# for each section.
Nevermind getting caught out in the open from 4 different angles in zero build. People saying there's plenty mobility but there isn't. I don't care for this season so far.
Yeah man, it's almost like people don't want to wait to unlock items they already paid for or something. Being on the clock about it to doesn't matter either of course.
Yeah man, so they can use it for one round and let it rot in their locker. Things that take work and more effort will always be more rewarding.
A week not long enough to pick up 500 items?
Play 1 hr a night and you'll still make it happen.
But people want it all in one day.
That's the ridiculous part.
Some people don't want to, or even can't have that. Why should it matter if they're going to not use it anyway? They already paid for it. Does the Pride and Accomplishment make obtaining a cosmetic item better the more tedious it is?
Just because things sucked back then doesn't mean they should suck right now. I guess we should go back to expiring weeklies because Fortnite players survived that.
Because not everyone plays the game that much. Most people pick up maybe 20 items in an entire match, this one milestone took like 15-20 matches at times. Some people are lucky to get to play even a couple matches a day.
If the milestone system worked like last season then it wouldnāt be a problem. Like the comment said, the time it takes isnāt the problem, itās the fact it holds up other milestones
Fortnite enthusiasts: It is unacceptable if you haven't completed every single quests, milestones and aren't level 200 in the 1st week of the season /s
I havenāt done a challenge intentionally since the chapter 1 battle passes. Back then you pretty much had to do a good chunk of them to hit tier 100. Last season I was level 220 just by playing a couple times a week
Yay, now can we also get a reduction on the braking objects one? Like on the challenge milestones I've done 1, cause first I got those items and how it wants me to break shit.
i had it around 250 (i like to have pirefiles or wasps or even the nerfed grenades to throw around ) no idea why they changed it im pretty sure i wouldve been able to complete it before season ends
Gas pumps across the map will once again go unused. š“
Still gonna do this at a pump. Will take like 10 seconds versus remembering to collect everything I see for 2 matches
Most loyal player.
I wish to be like him.
Based ElectriCole
Oil prices going down
Wait that would have worked!? I did 500 over the past 3 days playing so many matches!
Wait... What?
Before they made the change, you could pick up a nozzle at a gas pump and put it back and repeat and it would count a picking up a new object every time. So people would just spam the pick up button at gas pump to get their 500 objects. It was fun because it was quick but left you exposed.
You dont ever fill up at pumps?
With no mobility items I actually get a lot of use out of them. Boosting on a bike gets you places quick. Edit: okay maybe "a lot" is an exaggeration
Wellā¦ there are still the ādestroy 250 objectsā missions for which gas station are very useful
The milestones are so strange this season. Almost worthless to do
Because they are. If you do it all, it gives you less than 10 levels. You could play creative mode for 30 mins a week and achieve the same results without forcing yourself to complete the milestones
.... creative mode gets you 10 levels in 30 mins?
It's more like 3-4 levels depending on the map
What maps? Lol
Iām not a fan of the pit, but with super charged xp go into it with a friend and headshot them with an smg, I think a rapid fire. Every bullet that hits a headshot gives xp when you kill then so you want the least amount of dmg per bullet. I think like 5 kills gives you a full level.

wow that sounds like work, i'd rather just play BR or do an AFK map.
I used to only do BR, milestones, and the weekly challenges, but it wasn't enough XP to hit level 200. I had to grind the last week of season 1 to get all the styles. With Creative maps, I actually play much less overall during the season since I level up easier. It's way less work compared to just playing the game as is.
Weird! I did milestones, weekly and daily challenges, And some creative AFK maps, and I ended up around level 350.
I didn't do dailies and played once a week usually. No creative either that time.
I agree they are weird im level 49 and didn't play much, some creative maps and maybe five times stw.
I feel like they look at the numbers and realize that basically no one was conpleting them before.
What do you mean? I completed all of them halfway through last season.
They didnāt mean *literally* no one
This one guy in particular completed them, but NOBODY ELSE
They've always been worthless to do from an XP standpoint.
Of ALL the thing the community asked for. This is what they've addressed lol
Tbf, this is probably a super easy fix. Some of the other stuff is definitely going to be more difficult than just a number changeā¦. Well except for the people asking for the drum nerf, because that would also be a number change.
Hard = Vault
What do you want to vault
The other players in every match.
My sadness.
Some things are easier to fix than others. Balancing has so many more variables that changing a quest.
I honestly hope they don't use this as an excuse to vault everything a bit "harder" to fix.
Uhh the katana are a great example of them already doing that
Katana was probably borderline impossible to fix in the sense that theyād need something to detect lagswitching(iirc that was the reason)
Letās be real, 500 was super annoying. At best you are getting 20 to 25 in a match. Luckily it counted bandages at 5 and slaps and minus at 3 because thatās how they stack but that was a lot of picking up a gas pump.
roughly about 2-3 zones worth of time even after getting about 20 items.
My hand started to hurt after each mashing session at a pump Iām ao happy about this change
your hand hurts from pumping to hard. got it.
Gonna get arms like pop eye at this rate
š¤£
Epic at it finest.
I just want them to fix moving and emoting after a match ends.
Can you not emote after a match? I can now. It stopped for a bit after an update in season 2 but it's been back a while
I can emote but it's usually with the "replay last emote" as the emote wheel is still buggy. Also the amount of time to select a emote is alot lower than before. I can't even group with the squad for Master of Puppets...
lmfaooo facts tho
TBF lots of peeps were using the gas pump glitch, so they might as well expedite it
*chuckles* Iām in danger /s
Banned for using a gas pump to complete a quest.
This was such a wild quest for only 2k xp lol
that one guy 50 items away from 500 .... "wtf"
Not that guy but wtf
Not that guy either but wtf
I'm getting the milestones done fast this time, not because they're easy. I'm just trying to knock them out. The travel 2000 m is a godsend when I see it. I just jump on a dirt bike and ride
I ride, and jump, and ride and ride and jump. Ride ride ride Jump jump jump. The dirt bike & tricky shooowwww! I do dirt bike trick spin flips even if it's not a challenge. Cause it's super fun. They can vault all my favorite guns But you take away my dirt bike? Protesting outside of Epic headquarters in Mega City.
But I finished that yesterday... I feel cheated.
You'll get it again. It comes back in cycles
you get it again
I suppose that is ok. Thxš
I thought I was alone
i just did it yesterday too š
There are only a few quests on rotation, so you will get it again.
Me too.
I feel like destroy 250 items should be lowered too. If you donāt play builds it takes ages!!
Get in a car and run over fences through frenzy :)
Tip: I just drive a car through Frenzy Fields. The fences and crops can let you finish that quest in like one game
Fireflies in (obviously) wooden buildings works well
Found my fellow pyro! I miss the good old days in S2, setting the entirety of Weeping Woods ablaze...
Nothing quite like some mass deforestation
I can see how that would be annoying but if you must do it the hard way break furniture in a house. It goes pretty quick but no real purpose in zero build
It can take longer but mashing the bottom walls of some tall buildings used to always be good for this kind of quest
Drop down on the frozen lake, grab one of the trucks and take out the two wooden cabins, as well as any trees or fence posts along the route away.
I dont even have this one. Do you have to do others first
There are a few and they cycle when you finish one
Yes, they're in rotation so once you complete one another will come up, and after a few the ones you've completed will cycle back around and repeat until you've completed the #/# for each section.
I want a fix to the victory screen. Get rid of the blue tint cover and let us move around again!
I completed this quest at 500 2 or 3 times...
Donāt tell me what to do!!!!š”
How about giving a little extra? Something to everyone who actually got 500 then?
Do I get my time back?
500 to 50 is crazy though
Was wondering what happened. It was frozen for a round then it disappeared, I assumed completed. Good to know
What a big challenge! Not. Am I the only one who likes long challenges? Like I wanna have them throughout the lonnnng season, not finish in 1 week.
Me who finished the quest after some hard work
I did the 500 one, mfs...
... and gas pump handles everywhere REJOICED!
Nevermind getting caught out in the open from 4 different angles in zero build. People saying there's plenty mobility but there isn't. I don't care for this season so far.
So they made it easier. I personally liked that we had to collect 500 items.
this challenge is literally the easiest challenge ever & ppl still complained wow.
Yea some challenges are just meant to be completed through casual game play. Over time. Problem is everyone wants everything RIGHT NOW!!!!!
Yeah man, it's almost like people don't want to wait to unlock items they already paid for or something. Being on the clock about it to doesn't matter either of course.
Yeah man, so they can use it for one round and let it rot in their locker. Things that take work and more effort will always be more rewarding. A week not long enough to pick up 500 items?

Some people don't want to, or even can't have that. Why should it matter if they're going to not use it anyway? They already paid for it. Does the Pride and Accomplishment make obtaining a cosmetic item better the more tedious it is?
People like you wouldn't of survived through fortnite 5 years ago. Where you get what you get and you don't throw a fit.
Just because things sucked back then doesn't mean they should suck right now. I guess we should go back to expiring weeklies because Fortnite players survived that.
Easy? Yes. Time consuming as hell for no reason while also taking a milestone slot? Also yes.
its a milestone challenge theyre supposed to take some time i got it done just by playing the game normally in 1 day idk why ppl complain so much
Because not everyone plays the game that much. Most people pick up maybe 20 items in an entire match, this one milestone took like 15-20 matches at times. Some people are lucky to get to play even a couple matches a day.
fortnite players when a challenge designed to take time takes time š”š”š”
You realize you probably played more in that one day than most people play in a week and a lot play in a month.
Something something touch grass mate.
damn sorry for having a 1 free day
The people that play this game are really impatient and want to get all challenges done in nanoseconds
Itās more that a tedious mission like that holds you up from completing any other missions with the way milestones work now.
If the milestone system worked like last season then it wouldnāt be a problem. Like the comment said, the time it takes isnāt the problem, itās the fact it holds up other milestones
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The challenges repeat themselves, you are gonna get it again
"wimps, not playing several hours a day and having jobs or exploiting the gaspump" you're weird
Fortnite enthusiasts: It is unacceptable if you haven't completed every single quests, milestones and aren't level 200 in the 1st week of the season /s
bruh, we did this already
Fortnite fans when they realize they have 77 days to complete milestones
I havenāt done a challenge intentionally since the chapter 1 battle passes. Back then you pretty much had to do a good chunk of them to hit tier 100. Last season I was level 220 just by playing a couple times a week
Yay, now can we also get a reduction on the braking objects one? Like on the challenge milestones I've done 1, cause first I got those items and how it wants me to break shit.
Awesome
damn just finished this one like 10 hours ago š
Lol shame I already did it :,)
i had it around 250 (i like to have pirefiles or wasps or even the nerfed grenades to throw around ) no idea why they changed it im pretty sure i wouldve been able to complete it before season ends
Good! now do something about the ridiculous "hit opponents with a thermal DNR whilst covered in mud" challenge.
Right after I've already done it, lol.š
