Green: listed by two or more XP guides. Blue: one guide. Yellow: a hugely popular island that shows XP on fortnite.gg but that no XP guide lists yet, so treat it as our pick for fun play rather than a proven XP spot. Nobody publishes reliable XP-per-hour numbers for these, so we don't either.
The Pit - Free For All
by @thepitland
01
Free-for-all respawn arena (12 players, all weapons)
Non-stop fighting with instant respawns, so XP comes from constant eliminations instead of waiting in lobbies. Builds reset every 10 minutes.
One older guide (Sportsdunia 2025) mentions a 'secret room'. Play it normally; skip the tricks.
