V-Bucks are the in-game currency most commonly associated with Fortnite, but if you're not a regular player, you've likely overlooked Battle Stars.

Unlike V-Bucks, which can be purchased for real money or earned through various in-game tasks, Battle Stars are much harder to come by and really require players to work for them. Because of this, they're also much more valuable — fewer Battle Stars are required to make purchases compared to V-Bucks.

In previous seasons, the Battle Stars would automatically be used to redeem the rewards in an order, whether or not players were interested in the reward available. Now, players can put their stars toward whichever rewards they're actually interested in. If the Battle Stars are not used up before the season is over, they'll automatically be put toward some of that season's rewards.
