Without a doubt, Fortnite players are dropping onto a drastically changed battle island, complete with a haunted castle, corn fields, corrupted areas, and a ranch. As they explore these new locations, players are also working on the first set of weekly challenges for season 6, and once they complete that, they will want to find this week's hidden battle star.

Like previous seasons, completing every challenge for the week unlocks a special loading screen. This screen gives a hint as to the location of the hidden battle star, which will automatically rank up the Fortnite player's Battle Pass. Considering all of the goodies this season has, such as pets, it makes a lot of sense as to why players will want to do this as soon as possible.

In order to find this week's hidden battle star, players will want to visit one of the aforementioned locations - the ranch southeast of Paradise Palms. Once there, players will want to approach the tractor and use the search button when the battle star appears. For those who favor a visual guide, we recommend this video:

Of course, this is just a step up on this season's Battle Pass which has plenty for its players, such as Halloween-y cosmetics, new emotes, and even pets which have been rumored for a long time. Players can continue to tier up their Battle Pass by leveling up in matches and completing next week's challenges. While we do not yet know what next week holds, there is plenty to keep players occupied until then.

For those who need help completing the challenges before unlocking this hidden battle star, we've compiled a guide for all season 6 week 1 challenges here. Hopefully, with all this information, players can finish up this week quickly and be ready to go for next week. Until then, Ranters, good luck on the battle island!

Fortnite is available now in early access for iOS, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. An Android beta is currently underway.
