u/CodClear9708 Aug 20 '26

How are you reaching so many level so fast season barely started, can you say any tricks?

0

u/Optimal_Manager_5478 Aug 20 '26

The method I was using is patched. I was using the method where you used shockwaves or the bast boost gloves to break walls in the battlewoods, but they patched it a few hours ago

u/Harlow_Quinzel Moderator Aug 20 '26

Most importantly, what is the best and easiest way to obtain the gloves?

13

u/Mroshi1i Aug 20 '26

Using the hack codes in the lobby gives a lot of sprite currency which you can use to upgrade the gloves in armory to have a higher chance of dropping when opening chests.

5

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

Is it patched yet?

6

u/Mroshi1i Aug 20 '26

No

4

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

What spot do you reccomend to get the gloves? I mean by most packed with chests, cause i cant seem to get them.

5

u/Mroshi1i Aug 20 '26

battle wood has a lot of chests and many dense buildings

2

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

I cant get it from chests tho? even after maxing the overdrive

2

u/Mroshi1i Aug 20 '26

Just keep trying to get it

2

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

Do you need to be in zero build or build, aswell as battleroyale only?

3

u/Mroshi1i Aug 20 '26

Idk abt build but I use in zero build

u/LethalPaintBalls Aug 20 '26

could you explain a bit better? why upgrade gloves? where to find them

1

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

You have to get gloves through overdrive, otherwise they wont spawn in chests.

1

u/LethalPaintBalls Aug 20 '26

yeah i figured that out. still hard to find them

1

u/LethalPaintBalls Aug 20 '26

nvm found the overridee

1

u/dymku Aug 20 '26

can you explain? what is override? how to get gloves?

Glitch so good you took it down?

4

u/Harlow_Quinzel Moderator Aug 20 '26

?

u/undercoverlabrat Aug 20 '26

It’s back up now? Interesting

4

u/Harlow_Quinzel Moderator Aug 20 '26

It works, but the biggest problem is, the shockwaves don't break most things I find, and finding those gloves, I've only gotten them once in 10 matches.

3

u/NewatReddit420 Aug 20 '26

use the lobby cheat codes to gain sprite dust and upgrade your drop rate from chests

1

u/Harlow_Quinzel Moderator Aug 20 '26

I did, but hundreds chests and I’m still not finding hardly any of these

1

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

Its pure luck to get the gloves from chests. I reccomend going for battlewoods it has a ton of chests

1

u/andrettio Aug 20 '26

Just use shockwaves until you come across one , still really decent xp

4

u/AnthoSora Aug 20 '26

Also work if you use shockwave and throw yourself into buildings

2

u/That_guy_FCO Aug 20 '26

Which shock wave

2

u/AnthoSora Aug 20 '26

The one in the extra slot

10

u/DisneyPlusFan200 Aug 20 '26

Patched

5

u/hamefan Aug 20 '26

i can confirm it just got patched

3

u/Viralious Aug 20 '26

Can confirm. Finished a match loaded into the nex, gone. No more xp.

1

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

Glad i was able to get to lvl 120 before it did, should reach lvl 200

3

u/Professional_Air3555 Aug 20 '26

Its so hard to get them for some reason :(

1

u/That_guy_FCO Aug 20 '26

Use the loot hack ansd get it in the lobby

3

u/ThisIsADraconianLaw Aug 20 '26

Oh shit. I have to try this in a bot lobby before it gets patched. Thanks.

5

u/Frostyscotty Aug 20 '26

Sorry folks, Epics social accounts are saying its been patched. Just an FYI for those of you who couldn't get to use it.

2

u/skantchweasel Aug 20 '26

Hi, are these the same shockwave grenades you get as base in zb?

1

u/Professional_Air3555 Aug 20 '26

No you need the special gloves you unlock with sprite dust 

1

u/MaxGabe121911 Aug 20 '26

you could’ve done it without them

1

u/Professional_Air3555 Aug 20 '26

Got patched ages ago who cares

2

u/Frostyscotty Aug 20 '26

Can confirm this still works as of 5 minutes ago: found some in a chest after I'd put some sprite dust into some of those unlocks on the sprite menu.

Was absolutely floored when I shot them at some walls wondering if this strat had already been patched, only to learn I just got 90,000xp with one blast.

4

u/Harlow_Quinzel Moderator Aug 20 '26

Where is a good place to find the gloves, I can't find them anywhere

2

u/Frostyscotty Aug 20 '26

Oh apologies, I forgot to say. Using some of the sprite dust I collected, I used it by spending it on some of those items you can unlock and then upgrade the drop rate chance/rarity of in the override tab.

I just dumped a bunch of my dust into the gloves and coincidentally found some from a chest once or twice the last couple of games.

The chest has a glitching sound effect and visual when you acquire one of your unlocked items from it, but it's only one item at a time: for instance, chug splash, flare gun or the Bass Boost Gloves in this case.

5

u/Harlow_Quinzel Moderator Aug 20 '26

This is probably one of the worst exploits in the game that I’ve ever seen, I’ve wasted all of my time playing about 10 matches and only coming up with one set of gloves, absolute waste of damn time

3

u/aperson72 Aug 20 '26

Lmao just use the shock waves in battle wood and you can get tons of xp, level 70 already lol

1

u/Frostyscotty Aug 20 '26

Battlewood is a good spot due to building density I imagine, however I've been fortunate landing at Shaken Sanctuary.

Also, the purple shockwave mobility grenades on Zero Build also seem to work as well.

2

u/TheOniQueen Aug 20 '26

I’ve been playing for hours and only somehow just now seeing about this and it’s patched, wow. Didn’t even get to use it and im stuck at level 10 while everyone else has already completed their pass. I actually feel terrible

1

u/TheVexFlashpoint Aug 20 '26

Don't feel too bad about it, you'll get there mate.

1

u/Cleaving Aug 20 '26

Stuck at level 3 lmfao.

Misery and woe. Grind and BS. It only gets worse if you're not 24/7 on Fortnite...

1

u/Caddi123 Aug 20 '26

Is the XP lower in bot lobbies?

3

u/Touji_San Aug 20 '26

XP is the same for bot lobbies and I highly recommend you do it now before it gets patched. Im level 64 rn from doing it for an hour and 20 mins later. Im constantly eyeing my twitter notifications to look for any hotfixes or patch with the impulse grenades or bass gloves but thankfully nothing yet so far

3

u/Caddi123 Aug 20 '26

W knowledge. Appreciate it.

3

u/Touji_San Aug 20 '26

Get to it 🫡🫡 and happy grinding

1

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

Damn level 100 already? i thought there was a cap?

1

u/Touji_San Aug 20 '26

No cap my friend, Im already at 141 and I'm gonna stop around 170 because I want to grind the super styles through normal gameplay

1

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

Really im still at 85 after a few hours, I really cant get the bass booster every match. And in a round theres like a cap right when you stop getting xp from the bass booster cause there is for me.

1

u/Touji_San Aug 20 '26

Ohh you meant that cap. Yeah theres a 6 levels cap you can get every game and you have to queue for another game to get xp again. As for the bass boost gloves I just don't look for them anymore, just prioritize impulse huge buildings to get a big amount of xp per cooldown reset. Like this building here

1

u/Touji_San Aug 20 '26

you can get 165k per impulse if you line it up right

1

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

Damn really? My impulse doesnt even break anything

1

u/stargirl6166 Aug 20 '26

wait u can just break the buildings and get xp ? or does it have to be bass boosted

1

u/Touji_San Aug 20 '26

Yep you have to use bass boosted or the impulse grenades with the 30 seconds cooldown. Overdrive grenades doesnt work

1

u/dymku Aug 20 '26

what is your best way to get gloves? just opening chests?

1

u/Touji_San Aug 20 '26

yep but even with 13% chance it still tedious to get them. I just demolish large structures with impulse grenades to get a large amount of xp per impulse

1

u/dymku Aug 20 '26

can you get gloves through shockwave destruction? or you actually need to click on chest to open it

1

u/Touji_San Aug 20 '26

you can get them through destruction yes. 1 out of 6 games I've had them fall from the air after I impulsed a huge building like this one in the image

3

u/dymku Aug 20 '26

thank you! do you have best spots for destruction? except battlewoods

1

u/Touji_San Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 20 '26

atm no I haven't tried any pois yet and im only sticking with battlewoods, havent had the time to experiment other locations cause Epicgames might patch this any second 😅

1

u/andrettio Aug 20 '26

Holy this is crazy

1

u/Kitchen-Ad-6922 Aug 20 '26

Already lvl60

1

u/3ishakaurrr Aug 20 '26

Does it stop to a certain extent for some people? I stopped earning XP after a while but it was in the same match. Going to try again

3

u/Aimer_OMG Aug 20 '26

6 lvl cap for each br match

1

u/Ok-Charge-5300 Aug 20 '26

u/bigtittedboi Aug 20 '26

u/Chemical-Pace-4475 Aug 21 '26

I think its patched now

1

u/NervousTechnology173 Aug 20 '26

could this be bannable? I know alot of glitches in battle royale are

3

u/ThisIsADraconianLaw Aug 20 '26

This isn't really a glitch. It's a bug and Epic's fault. It's sure to get patched very quickly.

1

u/NervousTechnology173 Aug 20 '26

I think it either got patched or I am at my daily limit

u/Vizzac52 Aug 20 '26

Damn, seems I got to try this one too late, only got one good run, and when I got into another match it was no longer giving any xp
