== Previous System (Season X and prior) ==
Previously, before their rework, Battle Stars were the method used to 'tier up' in the Battle Pass. Every time a player leveled up, they would receive 2 Battle Stars. 10 Battle Stars were required to complete a tier of the Battle Pass, with the pass offering XP boosts as the pass progressed, allowing for steady leveling.
Players received stars when they:
* Completed a Daily Challenge (5 Stars)
* Completed a Weekly Battle Pass Challenge (5 Stars)
* Completed a Hard Weekly Battle Pass Challenge (10 Stars)
* Leveled up when the level ended with a 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 (2 Stars)
* Leveled up when the level ended with a 5 (5 Stars)
* Leveled up when the level ended with a 0 (10 Stars)
* Acquired a Secret Battle Star from the map (10 Stars)
* Completed a limited time challenge (Varies)
===Secret Battle Stars===
Secret Battle stars were super secret tier ups that could only be found by hints from the corresponding week's loading screen. The hints could vary from a faint Battle Star in the image or coordinates Ex. A1 SW (which would lead you to the southwest corner of the A1 Grid Reference).
For Example: The Secret Battle Star location for Week 1 of Season 5: The Battle Star was located at the umbrella in the ground located near Lazy Links.
