Darth Jar Jar Lands in Fortnite, But Requires 1 Million XP

Fortnite has introduced a new skin, Darth Jar Jar, but players are frustrated by the requirement to earn 1.28 million XP before they can purchase it. While many were eager for the highly anticipated skin to be available in the in-game shop, the XP requirement has left a sour taste among fans. Players have expressed their discontent on social media, claiming that it feels unreasonable to have to grind for a skin rather than simply purchasing it. The Darth Jar Jar skin is priced at 1500 V-Bucks, roughly equivalent to $13, and is available alongside a more traditional Jar Jar Binks skin which also costs 1500 V-Bucks without an XP barrier. Some players have noted that earning the required XP isn't too difficult if they dedicate enough time, but the financial burden associated with acquiring both skin options remains a topic of debate.

To quickly earn XP in Fortnite, players recommend engaging in various activities such as Rocket Racing, Ranked matches, and completing Alignment Challenges. By participating in these game modes, you can accumulate XP efficiently. Setting aside dedicated time, such as several hours in one day, can help you reach the 1.28 million XP goal faster.

Darth Jar Jar's introduction comes during Fortnite's Star Wars season, which has featured various crossover content, adding exciting elements to the game. This season is set to conclude with a significant live event on June 7, focusing on a narrative involving the Death Star that has been ominously present in the game world. This increases the anticipation for both the events and the associated skins, making the frustrations around Darth Jar Jar's XP requirement even more poignant for fans of the franchise.
