A newly discovered glitch in Fortnite’s Respawn Rumble mode allows players to earn 35,000 XP repeatedly, potentially reaching level 100 in minutes during Chapter 7 Season 1.
Fortnite content creator SpushFNBR demonstrated the exploit in a video shared on X: players join a Respawn Rumble match, wait until boarding the Battle Bus, then exit immediately upon returning to the lobby. The 35,000 XP reward triggers each time, enabling unlimited farming.

The issue likely stems from a quest-tracking error, though Epic Games has not commented. With the 39.20 update imminent, the glitch’s lifespan is short.
