Fortnite Accolades: How to earn them for your collection

Fortnite Accolades aren't strictly a new addition as they've been included in the battle royale for a long time, however they've only recently been given proper recognition in the game and before now you may not have seen them referenced using that name. Accolades are the small notifications that pop up on screen when you complete a certain feat during a Fortnite match, which could be anything from getting a certain number of eliminations to downing an enemy with a long distance shot, and you'll receive bonus XP every time you earn one.

While they have featured in the Milestone Quest to Acquire Accolades since last season, we can finally see the complete set available in Fortnite Season 3 by following the instruction to Open Collections and view Accolades via the Fortnite Quests menu in the lobby. If you want to know more, here's an explanation of how Fortnite Accolades work and a complete listing of all the awards you can acquire.

How to Open Collections and view Accolades in Fortnite

For the Jumpstart Quests, you need to Open Collections and view Accolades in Fortnite, which can sound confusing if you've never done it before. However, the process is actually quite simple, so from the main lobby screen head to the Quests tab and then select the Collections option at the top of the page. All you need to do then is move to the Accolades tab, and that quest will be ticked off your list.

How to acquire Fortnite Accolades

You will acquire Fortnite Accolades automatically as you play, for completing various feats in the battle royale, and you'll know you've earned one when a notification pops up at the top of your screen like the one above. There are currently a whopping 173 potential Accolades in Fortnite to earn, and you're likely to stack them up during the course of a match. To know what you're aiming for, the following is a complete listing of all the Accolades in Fortnite:
