Those Fortnite secret battle stars are back, and finding them will make the long climb up that battle pass a little more bearable. First you've got to find them though, and that's where we come in. We'll be updating this page with the locations of each secret battle star, their location, and a quick guide to how to find them.

Once you've finished three challenges from week 8, you'll unlock the Gotham loading screen, where coordinates for week 8's secret battle star are located on one of the stone gargoyles.

The secret battle star is located at the thermal pools located west of Sunny Steps and northeast of Lazy Lagoon. Up on a hill overlooking the southernmost pool, you'll see a small tower and a crater. You'll find your precious secret battle star nestled in the crater.

The first secret battle star is located just a little southeast of the Block, in the northern stretch of the map. As you drop into the area, you should see the giant pickaxe-shaped hole in the earth. Head for that, and once on the ground, you're looking for a bare patch of dirt located just a hundred yards or so from the left side of the "pickaxe." Here's what it will look like in-game.

Just remember that you first need to complete the B.R.U.T.E. Squad missions.

Fortnite secret battle star 2 location

First, you need to finish the Shootout at Sundown missions, then the secret battle star 2 will become available. Here's the map. You'll find it where I've used the blue marker, and close to where a B.R.U.T.E. landed and proceeded to murder me.

Just like the first secret battle star, you're looking for a hole in the ground, but this time it's shaped like a fork and knife. The secret battle star is centered between these two holes.

Head to the SoftDeez ice cream shop just across the street from the race track in the southwest of the map. Inside the SoftDeez, just past the front counter, you'll see the secret battle star on a shelf just to the right of a soda fountain.

Head towards Sunny Steps in the northeast area of the map. You're looking for a small building perched on a hilltop (a zipline connects to it), and it's pretty close to the coast. The coordinates were hidden in this week's loading screen: I2, I3, J2, and J3. Basically it's right on the nexus between all those.

When you get there, you're looking for a small patch of dirt on the hill leading downwards. The battle star will be right there.

You're looking for the mountain to the northwest of Fatal Fields. Climb your way up there, and just down the slope from the house is another patch of dirt. That's where you'll find the secret battle star.

This time, you're actually going straight to Fatal Fields, specifically the small lake near the south end. There you'll find a dock, and on that dock, you'll find your battle star. Great job.

Fortnite Secret Battle Star 7 location

You're looking to head over to Greasy Grove, the abnormally green location situated in the middle of the snow biome. There, you'll find a giant taco restaurant has replaced Durr Burger. Head inside. Near the front entrance, on the east side of the building, you'll find your secret battle star nestled between two booths.
