Hardest Accolades in Fortnite

Fortnite has a Collections page, in which players can check out the Battle Royale map, the NPCs that they’ve met, and as of Chapter 5 Season 3, the list of Accolades that they can acquire. There are nine Accolade categories in Fortnite, and they all target different types of in-game objectives. In total, gamers can acquire 171 different Accolades.

Whether gamers are looking for a challenge, consider themselves completionists, or just curious, this list mentions the hardest Accolades to get in Fortnite. On top of this, it also provides some tips and tricks that fans can follow in order to make it easier to obtain them.

Updated December 16, by Ashely Claudino: Even though Accolades aren’t the best way to earn XP, gamers can repeat them as many times as they want and consistently receive experience points. The most difficult Accolades to acquire grant more XP, so we’ve updated this list with some additional entries to give players some ideas if they’re trying to level up and complete the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass. We have also change some of the entries, as the list of available accolades has been greatly modified.

7 First Landing

First Player to Reach the Ground

Although this challenge seems pretty straightforward, it will most likely take longer than expected for most players. In order to be the one to touch the ground in a Fortnite match, gamers will have to meet an optimal set of circumstances and luck also plays a huge role in being successful here.

The easiest way to get the First Landing Accolade is to immediately jump out of the Battle Bus as soon as it starts its route, then look for the highest point nearby. However, since the glider will open once players are a certain distance from the ground, they must aim their character away from the highest point to delay this. Then, once they can’t delay it any longer, they can turn back to the highest point and land.

6 Vengeful Revenge

Eliminate a Player that Eliminated You in a Match

The Vengeful Revenge Accolade is quite difficult when playing the standard Battle Royale game mode, as it requires a series of steps in order to complete. First, players will have to be eliminated, then brought back to life via the reboot van, and lastly, they must hunt down the person who took them out and eliminate them.

The best way to acquire this Accolade is to play Team Rumble, which is a big team game mode that allows players to instantly respawn upon being eliminated. Since everyone is constantly being eliminated and brought back, it becomes much easier to target an opponent that’s already eliminated the player before.

5 Against the World

Win a Squads Match as a Solo

In the early days of Fortnite, it was common for streamers to play Squads games as solos – this became known as “playing Solo-Squads”. Gamers who want to try to complete this feat nowadays will be awarded the Against the World Accolade, as it requires a solo player to win a Squads match by themselves.

This isn’t an easy task, so players who want to try to acquire this Accolade will definitely have to prepare for it and create their own strategy. The best chances are when the end game comes and many squads have already lost some members. If gamers are lucky, they might find themselves up against a two-player squad or even just a solitary solo player.

4 There’s No Time

Win a Match without Reloading

The hardest thing about the There’s No Time Accolade is how programmed players are to immediately reload their weapons after a battle or as soon as its out of ammo.

To do this, gamers will have to focus on stopping themselves from reloading their weapons after they’ve used it. To get this Accolade, they can use their weapons, but they won’t ever be able to reload them, which means they will have to switch their gun for another one once it’s out of ammo.

3 Elimination Escapade

25 Eliminations in a Match

It is obvious why Elimination Escapade is such a difficult Accolade to acquire in Fortnite. Not only is extremely hard to take down more than a dozen players without being eliminated, it’s also rare to come across that many players during a Battle Royale match.

Fortnite matches last about 20 minutes if the player makes it to the Top 10. However, since gamers are scattered all over the massive island, many of them will be taken out before the Storm Circle is small enough to get them all in the same place. The best way to attempt to get this Accolade is to land in a busy location, such as a Hot Spot, take out anyone that players come across, and then once t clehey’ve ared out the place, move onto the next popular location.

2 One Shall Rule

Eliminated a Crown Wearer while Wearing a Crown

When players get a Victory Royale in Fortnite, they receive a Victory Crown, which will be held in their inventory in the next match. Victory Crowns grant additional experience points and bragging rights. Not only is it difficult to get a Victory Crown in the first place, but it’s even harder to find and eliminate an opponent who is wearing one.

The best way to get the One Shall Rule Accolade is to try make it to the top 10 in the match and then attempt to take out some of the last remaining players, as it’s more likely that they’ll have a Victory Crown equipped. Alternatively, if players are lucky enough, they will sometimes see a Victory Crown icon appear on their map, which indicates a dropped Victory Crown. In these cases, they should always follow the marker because someone nearby might get to it and catch it, giving them the perfect opportunity to strike.

1 Pacifist/True Pacifist

Win a Match Without Eliminating/Damaging an Opponent

The Pacifist and True Pacifist are two separate Accolades, but they’re both extremely difficult. Thankfully, gamers who get the True Pacifist Accolade will automatically unlock the Pacifist Accolade, as one implies the other; the True Pacifist Accolade requires players to get a Victory Royale without damaging players, which means they will also win without eliminating someone. While these Accolades require a lot of luck, there are ways to increase the chances of success.

The best way to do this is to camp until the late-game stage of the match. Once it’s down to two people, players should wait until the Storm Circle gets as small as possible. Then, they can either use builds to trap their opponent in the Storm, indirectly causing them to lose health, or they can remain hidden a try to win a heal-off with medkits and other healing items available in Fortnite.
