FortniteSeason 7 has finally arrived, bringing with it plenty of fresh new content for players to discover. In addition to new items, locations, and crafting systems, the alien invasion-themedFortniteseason introduces an all-new battle pass.
Epic Games' popular free-to-play title has altered several of its key components for its latest season. In addition to removing Raptors from the island,Fortnitehas also axed makeshift and primal weapons, replacing animal bones and mechanical parts with nuts and bolts. Perhaps thebiggest change of all is the battle pass, which replaces the traditional linear reward system with a more freeform system using Battle Stars.

How to Level Up Fast in FortniteSeason 7
While the new battle pass format gives players a bit more freedom in terms of what order to unlock rewards in, leveling up to get those rewards remains the same. Given that the season just started, players are likely looking for ways to get level up as quickly as possible. One particular method that is proving to be quite effective is utilizingFortnite’s new Saucer vehicle,a.k.a. UFOs. Found at the source of the blue smoke signals around the island, players can use the new alien spacecraft to complete a variety of this season’s secret challenges. Saucers come equipped with an abduction beam as well as an energy cannon, which is what players will be using plenty of if they hope to level up fast.
Once players manage to steal one of the Saucers/UFOs from anIO Guard-protected location, all they really need to do is get to blowing stuff up with the energy cannon. This season’s extra challenges are to destroy trees, shrubs, and rocks. Additional quests that can be completed simultaneously are destroying player structures in a vehicle and travel distance in a vehicle.
Lastly, igniting structures with fire is also something feasible from the skies, as some destructible structures inevitably have gas cans in or around them. According to establishedFortniteYouTuber Fortnite Events, players should earn around 300,000 XP for their efforts.
In addition to being really good at destroying things, the Saucers are an excellent way to efficiently traverse the map. Players can use the same initial method when it comes to hunting downall of the alien artifact locations, which will reportedly regenerate each week in new locations. Alien artifacts can be used to customize Kymera, the alien skin given to players who purchaseFortniteSeason 7’s battle pass.
FortniteSeason 7 is already shaping up to be one of the more interesting seasons the game has had since the start of its second chapter. Those who are really looking for a fast start out of the gate can also use the Saucer/UFO to find andinteract with Bunker Jonesy’s conspiracy board, which is the first legendary quest of the season.
Fortniteis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
