What are Accolades in Fortnite & how to acquire them
Dexerto / Epic GamesAccolades have been a core feature in Fortnite since its inception, offering a quick way to earn XP and level up. Here’s what they are and how to claim them all.
To help players progress, Fortnite provides several ways to earn XP and advance through the Battle Pass, including completing quests, exploring new game modes, earning Survivor Medals, achieving Victory Royales, and collecting Accolades.
In Chapter 2 Remix, Epic has reduced the range of available Accolades for its shorter 30-day season.
Here’s how Accolades function in Fortnite, how to track them, and a full list of every Accolade you can unlock, along with how to obtain each one this season.
What are Accolades and how to get them in a Fortnite match
Epic GamesAccolades 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 and you will then receive XP as your reward.
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 you can accomplish numerous times, but only once per Battle Royale match.
After the match concludes, head to the Match Stats section to view your medals and other Accolades you achieved during that match. However, you can also view your open collections and all the Accolades from the lobby menu.
How to open Collections and view Accolades
Epic GamesTo open Collections and view Accolades, you will need to head to the Quests tab from the main Fortnite lobby menu, select Collections, and then choose Accolades to view them.
You will need to do this to complete the “Open Collections and view Accolades” Jumpstart Quest in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4. As soon as you access the screen, you will instantly be granted 15,000 XP as your quest completion reward.
The screen showcases all the available Accolades in Fortnite, the 8 different types, how to complete them, and how many times you have completed them in Fortnite.
All Accolades in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix
There are 132 Accolades in Fortnite Remix, down from 166 in the previous season and 174 the season before that. These are broken down into eight different types depending on how you are to complete them and what items, weapons, or vehicles you will need to use.
Dexerto / Epic GamesEvery Accolade type in Fortnite:
- First in match – Be the first in the match to do something
- Weapons – Use certain weapons to complete a challenge
- Combat – Finish a task while fighting other players
- Victory Royale – Win a match in different ways
- Survival – Complete challenges based on surviving longer in matches
- Resources – Anything relating to using and collecting resources
- Special – Unique tasks to complete
- Seasonal – Specific challenges for the season
In the Fortnite Remix season, Epic has opted not to include Seasonal Accolades. However, these are expected to make their return a normal with the launch of Chapter 6 in the next season. The developers have also removed certain accolades from the different categories, which have been updated below.
