Battle Stars are located by unlocking the Season 9 Loading Screens within the Utopia Event. Loading Screens are unlocked by completing the Weekly Challenges which are part of the Battle Pass.
A list of all the hidden weekly items can be found below. Click on the name to go directly to the week’s guide.
The Battle Stars can only be discovered after you have completed the Weekly Challenges and unlocked the applicable Loading Screen. If you go to their location without unlocking the Loading Screen first, then the Battle Star will not appear.
The Week 1 Battle Star location can be unlocked by completing all challenges in any week of the Battle Pass Weekly Challenges. This will reward you with Loading Screen #1 which has the coordinates for the Battle Star on it.
The location of the Week 1 Battle Star can be seen on the mini gun, which reads I5, I6, J5, J6. This will lead you to the location circled in red on the map below, which is located between the racing track and Lonely Lodge on the right hand side of the map.
The Battle Star is in the grass right next to a hill. You should see a transforming truck in front of you if you’re facing the race track.
The Week 2 Hidden Fortbyte (Fortbyte #13) can be found at a location which is hidden within Loading Screen #2, which can be seen below.
This will lead you to bottom right corner of the map, which is circled in red.
Once you get there, you will see three dinosaurs and a small house close to the road. Go behind the small house where you will find a port-a-potty. Approach the portable restroom and you will see the Week 2 Hidden Fortbyte.
The Week 3 Hidden Battle Star can only be found once players have completed all of the weekly challenges from Weeks 1-3. If you have already done that, then keep reading to figure out how to find the Week 3 Hidden Battle Star!
The location of the Week 3 Battle Star can be found in loading screen #3, which can be seen above. As you can see, there a a blue arrow on the concrete block and to the left arrow is a pile of cars with a shiny object on top.
This should lead you to Junk Junction, where you can find the exact same pile of cars (see image below). Build up to the top of the cars and you’ll find the Week 3 Hidden Battle Star waiting for you!
The Week 4 Hidden Fortbyte (Fortbyte #91) can be found at a location hidden within Loading Screen #4, which can be seen below. You can collect the Week 4 Hidden Fortbyte without completing all of the Week 4 Weekly Challenges.
At first glance, this may seem pretty cryptic. And that’s because the Week 4 Hidden Fortbyte clue isn’t actually in the loading screen, it is in the description.
The Week 4 Loading Screen description reads: “Sandstorm and Scimtar race to the Keyboard King ATM, and the winner always gets paid.
This clue tells us that we can find the hidden Fortbyte at the Keyboard King ATM, which is located in Paradise Palms.
Head over to Paradise Palms and look for the Keyboard Kings building, which is right next to the tallest building in Paradise Palms.
In front of Keyboard Kings, you will see an ATM machine.
Walk over to the ATM and you’ll find the Week 4 Hidden Fortbyte inside the machine.
You can collect it by interacting with the ATM or by destroying the machine and then collecting the Fortbyte.
The Week 5 Hidden Battle Star can be found within Loading Screen #5 and is only available after completing all of the Week 5 Weekly Challenges.
The clue to finding the Week 5 Hidden Battle Star is hidden on the right side of Loading Screen #5. If you look closely on the right side of the Slipstream, you’ll see the coordinates B2, B3, C2, C3.
If you check this location on the map, it’ll lead you to the mountain next to Haunted Hills. The exact location on the map for the Week 5 Hidden Battle Star can be seen on the map below.
You’ll want to head to the edge of the mountain, close to the Wind Turbine. You can see the exact location of the Week 5 Hidden Battle Star in the image below.
The Week 6 Hidden Fortbyte (Fortbyte #2) location can be found hidden within the Week 6 Loading Screen, which can be seen below. Unlike the hidden battle stars, you don’t have to complete the Week 6 challenges to pick up the Fortbyte.
This loading screen may seem a bit vague at first, but when combined with the description, should lead us right to the Week 6 Hidden Fortbyte.
As you can probably tell from the loading screen, there is some sort of photoshoot happen on top of one of the Neo Tilted buildings. So, the first clue is that the Week 6 Hidden Fortbyte is somewhere within Neo Tilted.
From there, if you look at the description, it reads “Only the best snipers can take out a holo-clock tower lamp from the rooftops of Neo Tilted.” So, if we combine the two clues, we now know that the Week 6 Hidden Fortbyte is located at the holo-clock tower rooftop in Neo Tilted.
As you head to Neo Tilted, you should see the holo-clock tower pretty quickly. If you don’t know what it looks like, it can be seen in the picture above.
Land on top of the building and you’ll find the Week 6 hidden Fortbyte waiting for you to pick up!
The Week 7 Hidden Battle Star location can be found within Loading Screen #7 and is unlockable by completing all of the Week 7 Weekly Challenges.
The first step to finding the Week 7 Hidden Battle Star is to analyze Loading Screen #7, which can be seen above. As you can see, on the left side of the image, there is a hidden Battle Star beneath two characters.
A closer look at this loading screen will reveal that the location featured in the image is the Pressure Plant. So, queue up a game and head to the Pressure Plant.
You’re going to want to land at the area just before the main part of the Pressure Plant. Do not land on the upper portion, but instead on the steel walkway.
On the left side of your screen, you’ll see some stairs that go up to the top part of the Pressure Plant.
The Week 7 Hidden Battle Star can be found underneath the third platform. So, grab a few materials, build up to the third platform, and then add the Battle Star to your collection!
The Week 8 Hidden Fortbyte (Fortbyte #97) can be found hidden within Loading Screen #8. You do not need to complete the Week 8 Challenges to unlock the Week 8 Hidden Fortbyte.
However, the key to finding the hidden item is actually in the description for the Loading Screen, not in the image itself. The description reads, “Peely and Jonesy first met at Bao Bros. and instantly knew they would be friends forever.”
This clue will lead you to Lucky Landing, which is home to Bao Bros. The building won’t be hard to find, since it has a giant dumpling sitting on top of it!
Head inside Bao Bros. and go up to the second floor. You’ll see some workout equipment off to the side. Next to it, you’ll find the Week 8 Hidden Fortbyte waiting to be searched!
The Week 9 Hidden Battle Star can be found within Loading Screen #9 and is unlockable after completing the Week 9 Weekly Challenges.
To find the Hidden Battle Star for Week 9, you’ll need to check out Loading Screen #9, which can be seen above. If you look closely, you’ll see a show car with a Battle Star above it on the ramp.
This clue is going to lead you to the Mega Mall, where you will find the show car just inside the main entrance to the mall.
Head over to the roped off car after you have completed the Week 9 Challenges.
Once there, you’ll find the Week 9 Hidden Fortbyte and can add it to your collection!
