Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 is well underway, which means players will be powering through the current battle pass. However, if you want to get through it kick, you'll want to make completing accolades your number one priority.

This guide will take you through the main questions surrounding accolades: what are accolades and how to complete accolades in Fortnite.

What are Accolades in Fortnite?

Accolades are a collection of mini-challenges that players can complete as they play Fortnite creative and battle royale maps. They provide XP when completed, and go al ong way towards maxing out the battle pass. For each accolade, you must complete them in a single match. For example, if you catch four fish in a match and die, you'll have to catch five fish next match to earn the Can of Worms accolade.

As of right now, there are 23 accolades that players can complete. These are:

• Battle Ready — Be the first player in the match to reach maximum health and shields.
• Bird Prey — Be the first player to catch a chicken in a match.
• Can of Worms — Catch five fish in a match.

How to complete accolades in Fortnite?

Accolade progress is automatically tracked when you enter a game of Fortnite. As such, the moment you enter a game, you're able to work towards completing them. We recommend focusing at one accolade at a time. For example, don't try and catch 15 fish while also destroying structures. Focus on fishing first, then when you've completed all the fishing accolades, move onto something different.
