In the absence of XP Coins from Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, players find themselves missing this unique feature that was once a staple of Chapter 2. Originally, Chapter 2 provided these coins as a rich source of experience, but as we explore Remix, they remain a thing of the past.
Over the years, Fortnite has continuously reinvented itself, introducing a variety of new weapons and exciting items to the game. While Fortnite OG brought back old favorites, such as classic weapons and iconic locations, the current Remix season pays homage to Chapter 2 but leaves out certain beloved elements. Thankfully, some of the older challenges still make a return, like the quests for gnome statues and the task of striking weak points with a Pickaxe. However, the absence of XP Coins, which were strategically placed in noteworthy spots like the Lazy Lake waterfall or the zipline from Retail Row to Steamy Stacks, leaves a void for many long-time players. The choice to exclude these coins in Remix has left some fans feeling nostalgic about the familiar Chapter 2 settings without this cherished feature.
A recent Reddit post by user Drex678 nostalgically showcased a green XP Coin, lamenting its disappearance in the current Fortnite season. While Drex678 suggested that fans might not have noticed the absence, the response he received indicated quite the opposite. Remix might have reintroduced familiar Chapter 2 elements, but fans argue that it’s not quite the same as Fortnite OG. Beyond featuring familiar locales and vintage weapons, Remix adds a fresh twist by introducing new points of interest associated with rap legends. With the season’s end looming on November 30, the remaining days feel too short for these missing features to reappear. Many players are eagerly looking forward to what the next season will bring.
XP Coins, like Fortnite’s weapons, came in different levels of rarity. Green coins offered the least amount of experience, while orange coins provided the most. The allure wasn’t just in collecting individual coins for their immediate rewards, but in gathering them all to complete a Battle Pass challenge. Due to the shorter length of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, Epic Games might not have had the chance to thoroughly explore all the seasonal content as it did with OG. This has sparked concerns among fans that Chapter 2’s hallmark features, such as XP Coins, Fireflies, UFOs, and specific locations like Stealthy Stronghold and Colossal Coliseum, may never make a return.
Interestingly, while Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix offers a different approach compared to how OG revisited Chapter 1, there’s a chance Chapter 2 could receive its own comprehensive revisit in the future. Epic Games has revealed plans for Fortnite OG to become a permanent mode, rotating through each Chapter 1 season. This progression hints that once Chapter 1 has been fully explored, the cycle might continue into Chapter 2, keeping fans hopeful for the return of their favorite features.
