Use Battle Stars to instantly unlock your favorite Battle Pass rewards
As a Fortnite enthusiast, you've probably encountered the term "Battle Stars," especially in relation to the Battle Pass. But what are Battle Stars exactly, how do you acquire them, and how can you use them? Battle Stars are earned automatically as you level up your Battle Pass and can be spent to unlock items in any sequence you prefer. This guide dives deep into earning and utilizing Battle Stars, along with a breakdown of item costs.
Unlocking and Spending Fortnite Battle Stars
- You earn 5 Battle Stars for every Battle Pass level achieved.
- These stars can be used to unlock Battle Pass rewards in the order you choose.
- The Battle Pass provides just enough Battle Stars to claim every item available.
- Unused Battle Stars are automatically applied to unclaimed rewards after the season ends.
How It Works
Ways to Earn Battle Stars
Advance your Battle Pass levels. Every time you level up your Battle Pass, you’ll earn 5 Battle Stars. These stars are granted whether or not you’ve purchased the Battle Pass, but they can only be spent on items you’re eligible to access.
- To maximize the value of your Battle Stars, consider getting the Battle Pass.
- Each Battle Pass includes enough Battle Stars to unlock all available items, but you’ll need to reach level 100 to collect everything.
- Battle Stars cannot be used to obtain items outside of your eligibility. However, they allow you to decide which items to claim first, rather than following the Battle Pass order.
Spending Your Battle Stars
Head to the Battle Pass section to choose your desired item. With the free Battle Pass, only certain items can be purchased using Battle Stars. Owning the paid version unlocks all available items.
Select Claim Reward. Check your Battle Star balance in the top-right corner. If you lack enough stars for your desired item, level up your Battle Pass further to earn more. Each level grants 5 Battle Stars.
- Unspent Battle Stars at the season’s end will be automatically redeemed for eligible items in the order they were unlocked.
- If you have excess stars with the free Battle Pass, they’ll be removed as Battle Stars don’t roll over between seasons.
