Season 9 Week 9 is here. Take a look at our full challenge guide including the Solar Array locations and the Week 9 Battle Star location.

The second to last week of challenges for Season 9 is here. These are all pretty easy, but we have you covered with a guide to the Solar Array locations and Free Battle Star location if you're still searching.

Week 9 Challenges

Free Challenges

  • Use a Chug Jug or a Chug Splash in different matches (3)
  • Visit a solar array in the snow, desert, and the jungle
  • Stage 1/5: Get an elimination with a Common rarity weapon
    • Stage 2/5: Get an elimination with an Uncommon rarity weapon
    • Stage 3/5: Get an elimination with a Rare rarity weapon
    • Stage 4/5: Get an elimination with an Epic rarity weapon
    • Stage 5/5: Get an elimination with a Legendary rarity weapon

These challenges - with the exception of the Solar Array one - are all straightforward. You can complete these without really trying, so no need to resort to the Team Rumble strategy.

Battle Pass Challenges

  • Deal headshot damage (500)
  • Search chests at Lazy Lagoon or Happy Hamlet (7)
  • Eliminate opponents in different Named Locations (5)
  • Deal damage to an opponent within 10s of landing from a Volcano Vent (200)

Like the free challenges, these Battle Pass challenges will all happen naturally. Lazy Lagoon and Happy Hamlet will probably be busy for the next few days, so you can wait until they cool off if you don't want a fight.

Solar Array Locations

The first Solar Array is the easiest to find. It's directly behind the hangars in Frosty Flights.

The second Solar Array, in the desert, is located between John Wick's house and Paradise Palms. I recommend looting John Wick's place - a great place to land in solos - then visiting the Solar Array before fighting your way through Paradise.

The Solar Arrays in the Jungle are probably the most out-of-the-way. They are visible from Sunny Steps if you look to the west. Some Glider Re-Deploys would be helpful, here.

Free Battle Star Location

If you look closely at the loading screen at the top of the article, you can see the Free Battle Star sitting at the top of the ramp. This image points you to Mega Mall, on top of the display car in one of the shops.

This one is one of the easier Battle Stars to find due to the image.

Happy hunting and happy 4th of July!
