The "Will I make it to tier 100 in time?" reference guide

Introduction

This is a breakdown of all the ways to earn battle stars or tiers. If you would like me to work out what tier you specifically can potentially get to then comment your current tier, level, weekly challenge progress in stars including the bonus 5 tiers.

Levelling Up

There's a total of 100 levels that can be attained in Fortnite. Each level gives 2 Battle Stars with the exception of every 5th level giving 5 Battle Stars and every 10th level giving 10 Battle Stars.

• 100 Battle Stars for every 10th level
• 50 Battle Stars for every 5th level
• ~160 Stars for the 80 levels in-between
• 310 Battle Stars or 31 tiers total

As a rough guide, you get ~31 Battle Stars or 3 tiers for every 10 levels (level 20 to 30 for example) so you can take your current level and calculate how many tiers you could potentially get.

Weekly Challenges

There's a total of 10 weeks worth of challenges at 50 Battle Stars per week and a bonus 5 tiers that can be attained

• 500 Battle Stars or 50 tiers total
• 50 bonus Battle Stars or 5 bonus tiers
• 65,000 XP from completing 4/7 challenges each week

The 65,000 XP you get from completing 4/7 challenges each week is worth a different amount of tiers depending on what level you already are, for example it's equal to going from level 1 to level 33 which is approximately 9 tiers

Daily Challenges

You get 1/2 a tier per day essentially so take how many days are left in the season, half it and that's roughly how many tiers you can get from daily challenges. Since it's almost the end of the season, it's unlikely that anyone grinding will get much use out of daily challenges.

• 1/2 a tier per daily challenge is equal to 350 Battle Stars or 35 tiers for the whole season (70 days)
• 500 XP per challenge is equal to 35,000 XP for the whole season (70 days)

The 35,000 XP you get from completing daily challenges is worth a different amount of tiers depending on what level you already are, for example it's equal to going from level 1 to level 25 which is approximately 7 tiers

Buying Tiers / V-Buck Rewards

Realistically if you start very late in the season, it's either literally impossible to get tier 100 or it's incredibly unlikely. A lot of people will either decide not to bother or will be okay with buying the remaining tiers. If you're starting late then and haven't bought it yet perhaps buying the 25 tier bundle will be your best option however if you have bought it, you may need to buy tiers.

• You get 100 V-Bucks at levels 4, 11, 27, 34, 35, 42, 52, 58, 70, 75, 85, 91, 97
• You get 200 V-Bucks on level 18 which is a total of 1,500 V-Bucks

Based on weekly challenge completion alone I estimate you could net a return of at least 700 V-Bucks which this season could translate to buying one 10 tier bundle at 600 V-Bucks or roughly 5 tiers buying them individually.

Conclusion

If you were to play at the start of the season you could get to tier 100 simply by completing all of the daily and weekly challenges whilst also attaining approximately level 32 which you would attain simply from weekly challenge XP alone.

If you're starting late, you will be heavily limited by how much time you have to play. If you can do it, focus on completing challenges as doing the weekly challenges will net you tier 55 minimum and then add in however many daily challenges you can get.

Updates/Edits

• I forgot to consider the 5 bonus tiers you may have received from having the previous Battle Pass as this is a pretty decent boost.
• Edited overall formatting slightly
