Every Week 8 XP Coin Location in Fortnite Season 5 | Screen Rant
With more than a month left to go in Fortnite Season 5, players have plenty of time to significantly boost their Battle Pass and climb to the highest Tiers. Players can earn XP in a variety of ways, from simply competing in matches to completing challenges, especially the Rare, Epic, and Legendary Challenges. As players ascend the ranks of the Battle Pass, they can unlock new cosmetics, including color and style variants for some of the Battle Pass skins. During Week 7, XP Coins made a return. These are a quick way for players to stock up on bonus XP easily. Each Coin has a distinctive feature: Gold Coins are worth the most, Purple will break apart into fragments when touched and need to be collected quickly, Blue can only be found in various bodies of water, and Green are the most common and easily accessible.
There are 10 XP Coins that have been added to Fortnite Season 5 this week. Players can expect to find one Gold XP Coin, worth 15,000 XP, two Purple XP Coins, worth 10,300 XP each, three Blue XP Coins, worth 6,500 XP each, and four Green XP Coins, worth 5,000 XP each. That's another 68,600 XP, offering players a massive Battle Pass boost without too much hassle. Here's where to find every XP Coin during Week 8 of Fortnite Season 5.
All the Coins this week are concentrated closer to the center of the map, with many bordering the desert biome near Zero Point. The map above by WeLoveFortnite on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter shows the approximate location for every Week 8 XP Coin. More specific location descriptions appear below:
Gold
- In the crashed plane in the southeast region of Stealthy Stronghold. Players must destroy the plane with a harvesting tool to reveal the Coin and will need to build up to reach it.
Purple
- In the cleared Corn Field rows at Steel Farm east of Colossal Coliseum
- In a grove of trees to the east of Slurpy Swamp, near one of the houses
Blue
- In the lake northwest of Retail Row and east of the desert biome, near the lakehouse with a motorboat and a flooded dock.
- In the marsh on the island to the west of Slurpy Swamp, in front of a shipping container marked with two green X's.
- In the water at Shipwreck Cove on the far southeastern part of the map.
Green
- On the second level of the wooden structure with multiple ramps in the northern region of the desert biome.
- On a hill to the east of Hunter's Haven, just under a house.
- Behind a chain-link fence beside a building to the southeast of Salty Towers.
- Between two rocks and a tree stump at the bend of the river to the northwest of Weeping Woods.
Unlike in previous years, Blue XP Coins no longer require players to break objects or decorations to access. Instead, they will simply need to go for a swim, as all Blue Coins will be found in water.
Players can maximize their efficiency by going for many of the Green XP Coins, which all appear in roughly the same region of the map, during the same match. Players can also visit Steel Farm's Corn Field for one of the Week 8 Epic Challenges and pick up a Purple XP Coin on the way. And, if players are feeling really confident, they can try to defeat Predator at Hunter's Haven to unlock the skin and, after defeating the boss, pick up the Green XP Coin nearby.
Fortnite is available for Android, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
