What are Accolades and how do you get them?

Simply put, Accolades are mini achievements you earn at the end of a match. They come bundled with some huge XP rewards, meaning that going out of your way to earn them is incredibly important.

At the end of a match, you will be able to view your match stats, and with it, see all of the Accolades you have gained so far. These challenges can range from catching fish to collecting gold bars. They’re not too hard to complete but are perfect ways to quickly power through the Battle Pass.
