What are Battle Stars in Fortnite Season 7

Fortnite Battle Stars are a great help if you want to unlock certain cosmetics from the Fortnite Season 7 Battle Pass. During the previous Fortnite seasons, you would unlock Battle Pass items automatically while leveling up. If you really liked a high tier item on the Battle Pass, you would have to keep leveling in order to reach it.

The introduction of Battle Stars in Fortnite Season 7 changes this, as they allow you to pick and choose your favorite Battle Pass items yourself. You can use your Battle Stars to buy any Battle Pass item as long as you unlocked the corresponding Battle Pass page (which is done by gaining experience).

Naturally, you also need to have enough Battle Stars to actually purchase the item you want. While some are priced at only three Battle Stars, others will cost up to nine. Let’s see how we can get Battle Stars in Fortnite Season 7!
