Fortnite Snowfall secret Battle Star locations from loading screens

Fortnite Snowfall secret Battle Stars and loading screens explained

Each completed stage of the Snowfall challenge - which requires you to complete all the Challenges in a specific week - unlocks a new loading screen. If you view these loading screens closely, it actually hints at the location of a secret Battle Star or Banner location on the map.

Finding additional Battle Stars in the game will then give you an additional Tier towards your Season 7 Battle Pass progress, while new Banners will give you new customisation options. Note that you need to have unlocked that specific loading screen before it will appear on the map.

When you have completed a total of 60 Weekly Challenges, the mysterious Snowfall skin - named The Prisoner - and backbling is yours.

The Prisoner also has its own secret unlocks - known as Fortnite Prisoner stages - once you have got it and fancy some extra styles.

If you were interested, Seasons 4, 5 and 6 had a Battle Star / Loading Screen skin too, named The Visitor, The Enforcer and AIM.

How hard is unlocking Snowfall? Though completing 60 Weekly Challenges across a season isn't too difficult, it can be time intensive if you've left it until the last minute. You have until the end of the season to unlock it, otherwise it'll likely be gone forever. Good luck!

Regardless of the order you'll complete a week of Season 7 Challenges, the order of the loading screens and their subsequent Battle Star locations will be the same.

If you have more than one unlocked, you are welcome to collect them in any order you like.

This is inside the second floor of the main building at Frosty Flights.

This is once again in Frosty Flights. You'll want to travel to the two hangers, and visit the east-most one. Along the left side are a series of shelves. The Battle Star is on top of one of them.

You'll find this in Happy Hamlet. Land in the middle of the named location - specifically, to the right (or east) of the clock tower - then go north. Now build up to the right of the Big Shots sign, and the banner will be up against the wall

In the south-west corner of the frozen location is a cave opposite an island. Enter the cave - either from the entrance, or from dropping in the hole from above - and you'll find the Battle Star on the mattress on the wooden hut.

Finally, a location away from the frozen wastes. Remember the Crown of RVs location at the start of the season? Looks like we're heading back. The banner is located right at the edge.

This is found south of Frosty Flights. Specifically, south of an ice bridge but before the hill rolls down to where two ziplines are running to the base. The following video by HarryNinetyFour specifies the exact location:
