@Bones3OOkay here is an answer I put down in another thread.
Yes, it is easier to level up in general because of the challenges in place. Despite that, it does take longer to actually complete the whole battlepass.
‘What is this magical hogwash this guy is talking about’ is what you’re probably thinking right now. Lemme explain: the weekly challenges alone net you around 7-10 levels (not sure about the actual level). Lets say 8 for argument’s sake. 12 weeks (3 months is likely how long this BP will last) is 96 levels worth of weekly challenges. This is without the match xp you get from every match of course but just for argument’s sake I’ll continue speaking only about the xp gained from the challenges. To ‘complete’ the BP you need 4 more levels and that can be done with a few dailies. To actually get to 110 you need far more dailies.
Thing is, even tho challenges make leveling easier, without the challenges, you need more match exp to actually level. This is why it’s easier but takes longer to level up in the battlepass. Cause as soon as you have no challenges it’s basically you grinding to 54K xp to rank up instead of the 27K needed in Season 1.

Above are the details regarding progression through the BP. In your thread’s name you mention that ‘they said it’d be faster to level up’. Can you point out where in the article they said that? So far I’ve asked this question a few times but never got a reply back. Either because it’s not been said and they didn’t want to ‘lose face’ or they ‘heard that’d be faster’ somewhere. I may be blind for not seeing that it would be faster, so thats why I want to get proven wrong essentially.
@Koochi-QHey all,
Lead Product Manager Lee Horn (Leeeeeee-RSPN) here. We heard your feedback on the Season 1 grind and created a system which should allow for significantly greater Battle Pass progress with less grind over less time for players who return on a regular basis and maximize their Challenge resets. :P
-They said this but in reality it's a bit worse than Season1.
I just don't get how they can say it's easier progression while doubling from 27000 to 54000.
I'm at about level 20 battle pass right now it just feels very slow and I've completed all challenges, weekly and daily, some days I do miss a daily or two
So yeah now it's grinding 54000 instead of 27000 with no challenges and no bonuses
It's easier progression because with the old BP you didn't get a full level when completing the following:
"Play 1 round as caustic"
"Get 3 knocks"
"Breath in and breath out"
