In brief

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 introduces an original mechanic that allows one random player per match to become the Battle Bus driver. This unique role lets you earn up to 5000 XP by guiding the bus through specific circles and satisfying your passengers.

Chapter 7 Season 2 of Fortnite was an opportunity to implement new features and unprecedented mechanics. In this case, this Season 2 was marked by the introduction of a rather original feature: the possibility for certain players to become the driver of the Battle Bus.

Driving the Battle Bus

To become the Battle Bus driver, the process is entirely random. At the start of each match, one player among all the participants will be chosen and will have to drive the Battle Bus. The driver cannot get off the bus, and can only steer it by making it move left and right using the trigger, or by sounding the horn.

Note

The sole objective is to guide the Battle Bus through the specific circles in order to earn experience points (XP).

Rewards

Taking on the role of driver will allow you to earn experience points in various ways, first of all simply by driving. If other players are satisfied with your service, you will receive extra experience from them.

Note

You can thus earn up to 5000 XP if you pass through all the circles along the route.
