Unlocking more Battle Stars in Fortnite is essential for completing the Battle Pass for season 8. In previous seasons, players were able to earn XP and receive an item from the Fortnite Battle Pass for each level. Starting in Season 7, players could instead earn Battle Stars. These function as a currency system that allows players to unlock cosmetics of their choosing. Season 8 includes another 10 pages of content to unlock, and, the more Battle Stars players earn, the more rewards they will unlock. Players will earn five Battle Stars with every level-up.

There's tons of new content in Fortnite season 8. Players will begin their Battle Pass with Charlotte, a character that comes along with two different variant skins that appear on later reward pages. Not only that, but players can unlock Toona Fish, a unique aquatic character created in a 1940s animation style. However, the real prize is the Carnage skin. This is unlocked on the final page of the Season 8 Battle Pass and has its own Maximum style variant where its tentacles jut out of its back. Battle Stars are needed to collect all of these and more.

Since Battle Stars are unlocked each time players level up in Fortnite, players should prioritize earning XP as quickly as possible. Because Season 8 only runs for a limited time, any locked cosmetics will no longer be available when the season ends. Apart from just playing Fortnite matches, there are a few ways players can earn a lot of XP to get as many Battle Stars as possible.

How to Share Fortnite Quests With Friends (Season 8)

The main activities that help players level up in their Fortnite Battle Pass appear below.

  • V-Bucks: Players always have the option to skip tiers of the Fortnite Battle Pass using V-Bucks. This currency can be unlocked in the game, but, for the most part, players would use their own cash to earn more Battle Stars. This is the fastest way but also the most expensive.
  • Completing Weekly Punch Cards: These are reset every week and feature three different challenges for players to complete. Each one will net the player about 65k XP toward their Battle Pass.
  • Completing Daily Punchcards: Similar to Weekly Punch Cards, players can complete daily tasks. These are fairly simple and will reward players 17k each upon completion.
  • Character Quests: There are tons of characters this season who will require the player's help. These longer questlines provide players more XP for each new challenge cleared. NPCs like Fabio Sparklemane and Madcap can be found around the map and offer players unique challenges to complete.
  • Playing With Friends: Cooperation is a big theme this season, and many of the challenges push players to work together. Many of these challenges also reward players with additional XP.
  • Smaller Tasks: Opening ammo crates, crafting weapons, fishing, and many other smaller tasks in matches will give players a bit of XP each. These begin to add up after a while.
  • The Fortnite Crew Membership: This is a monthly subscription service that will give players a monthly crew pack, crew legacy set, 1,000 V-Bucks, and more. This is more for the hardcore players who find themselves logging in every day. Those extra V-Bucks can go towards purchasing more tiers in the Battle Pass and earning more Battle Stars.

Most of these activities can be completed by naturally playing in the Battle Royale. Completing more of these as quickly as possible will help players secure more Battle Stars. Players should always look toward their quest list before jumping into a match to determine where to land and how to begin.
