As Chapter 5 Season 4 of Fortnite draws to a close, players still have a lot to accomplish before the game goes offline. Epic Games has announced that the next season, Chapter 2 Remix, will reflect some of the game’s most beloved moments. This mirrors what happened during **Fortnite Chapter 4, Season OG**, which concluded nearly a year ago and marked the end of Chapter 4.
There’s always an abundance of activities to engage in before the launch of a new Fortnite season, but this feeling intensifies when Epic brings back features from earlier seasons, indicating that almost everything will change once the servers are back up. To make the most of the Marvel-themed Chapter 5 Season 4 and the Fortnitemares event, players should consider a few key steps to prepare for the upcoming new chapter, Chapter 2 Remix.
When Does the End of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Start?
Deadline Date & Time
The downtime marking the end of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 is set for 2 a.m. ET on November 2. Matchmaking typically shuts down 30 minutes prior to the server closure, giving players until 1:30 a.m. on November 2 to wrap up everything they desire to complete in Chapter 5, Season 4. With Doctor Doom’s departure during the mid-season live event, it’s uncertain what will influence the transition from Chapter 5 Season 4 to the upcoming Chapter 2 Remix.
It remains unclear if there will be a live event to conclude Chapter 5, Season 4, or when such an event might take place. There has been no official announcement from Epic Games regarding the end of Chapter 5 Season 4, although certain leaks suggest that it may occur on November 1 at Restored Reels within a unique event playlist incorporating respawns, akin to Team Rumble.
Complete the Battle Pass
Key Tasks to Accomplish
Completing the Battle Pass is crucial for Fortnite players ahead of the conclusion of Chapter 5, Season 4. Epic Games previously mentioned that some Battle Pass items might become available in the Item Shop 18 months after their initial pass expires; however, the specifics remain uncertain. To collect all the rewards from the Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass, players should aim to achieve level 200 before the downtime begins on November 2.
Furthermore, beyond the standard Battle Pass rewards, players should focus on completing the Dr. Doom mini Battle Pass and unlocking all Doom-themed cosmetics. They may also want to finish the Battle Pass Quest Rewards, linked to completing pairs of Weekly Quests starting from Week 5. The final Quest Reward, Captain Jones (Pen & Ink), is available only from Week 10’s quests, which means players are on a tight schedule to unlock this outfit style before the chapter ends.
To successfully complete the Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass, players must earn XP to level up and earn Battle Stars. These Battle Stars can be exchanged for Battle Pass items up to Level 100 and additional rewards through Level 200.
For faster leveling, players should finish any lingering Quests offering substantial XP, or engage in Fortnite’s various modes like Creator Made Islands, LEGO Fortnite, and Fortnite Festival. All XP gained in these modes contributes to the Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass as well as the distinct LEGO and Festival passes.
Avoid Leaving Quests Incomplete
Fortnite’s Quests are the quickest and most effective method to gain the necessary XP for leveling up and unlocking all Battle Pass cosmetics. They also provide opportunities for earning free items, such as the Doom mini-pass and Fortnitemares rewards.
Players can access Quests from the Quest tab in the Main Menu, either in the lobby or while in-game. There’s a variety of Quest types available, each offering different XP rewards. The Quest types available in Chapter 5, Season 4, along with their XP rewards, are summarized in the table below.
Quest Type |
XP |
---|---|
Daily Quests |
1,000 to 5,000 XP each, plus 20,000 for the first three completed each day |
Weekly Quests |
20,000 XP each, plus 30,000 XP for completing four at a time (12 Stages) |
Story Quests |
20,000 XP each |
Kickstart Quests |
20,000 XP each |
Milestone Quests |
15,000 XP per Stage per Milestone |
Doom Quests |
20,000 XP each |
Fortnitemares Quests |
20,000 XP each |
Horde Rush Quests |
20,000 XP each |
Survivor Quests |
15,000 XP each |
If players are nearing the end of the Battle Pass, they should prioritize quests that provide significant XP in a short period, such as Daily Quests, Weekly Quests, and Story Quests. It’s also wise for all players to focus on Fortnitemares and Horde Rush Quests, as these are straightforward and will only be available until the season ends, rewarding considerable XP and exclusive spooky-themed cosmetics.
Final Preparations
In addition to leveling up, completing the Battle Pass, and claiming all the available cosmetic rewards, several other tasks should be on players’ to-do lists before Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 concludes. The end of a Battle Royale season typically signifies the conclusion of a Fortnite Festival season, the closure of a Ranked season, and potential modifications to Reload and the overall Battle Royale and Reload maps.
Players should take the time to savor their favorite aspects of the game prior to the transition, as significant changes are anticipated with the release of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix.
What to Do |
Why |
---|---|
Find and Complete Stark Fanclub Quests |
These hidden Story Quests in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 can be easily overlooked unless players discover the secret Iron Man fan room located in one of the homes in north Doomstadt. Completing this series of fetch quests grants players an entire Level Up, making it worthwhile if you haven’t done it yet. |
Try Different Weapons |
Several popular weapons and powerful items are likely to be vaulted when Chapter 5 Season 4 concludes. Learning to use unfamiliar weapons before the loot pool changes next season can give players a competitive edge. |
Spend All Bars |
Gold Bars, the in-game currency for Fortnite, do not carry over into the next season. Players should “use it or lose it,” so now is the time to interact with Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 4 NPCs to acquire legendary weapons or hire NPC allies with the Gold Bars accumulated throughout the season. |
Visit Favorite POIs |
The Fortnite map is expected to change after Chapter 5 Season 4 ends. Some locations, like Grand Glacier, have been present since the beginning of the chapter. Players should visit their favorite spots one last time before they potentially disappear. |
Rank up in Fortnite Ranked |
Ranks will reset at the end of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, so players should try to grind a few more ranks to finish strong. |
Play Fortnite Reload |
If the season feels repetitive or if you haven’t experienced much of Reload, consider engaging with this game mode to familiarize yourself with a different loot pool and explore the Reload map before possible changes occur after this chapter. |
Finish the Festival Pass |
The Fortnite Festival season alters when the main Battle Royale season does, meaning players have limited time to claim all available rewards from the free Fortnite Festival pass and the premium Karol G rewards for those who opted for the paid track. Additionally, song scores reset at the season’s end, so players aiming for high scores should participate actively in the festival before November 2. |
Earn Remaining Survivor Medals |
Survivor Medals will also reset at the season’s end, so players should aim to progress to Mythic 1 before the conclusion of Chapter 5 Season 4. |
Collect Boss Medallions and Weapons |
If you haven’t yet had the chance to use one of the three Boss Medallions or Mythic weapons in Chapter 5 Season 4, now is a great time to battle one of the bosses and claim their unique loot, as it’s very likely these items will be vaulted. |
