Fortnite Dusty Divot Treasure Map Battle Star: Week 7 Challenges for Epic Games new update
Week 7 Challenges Now Live!
We've jumped from the Battle Bus – and thanked the bus driver on the way – to check the validity of the "Follow the treasure map found in Dusty Divot" challenge for Week 7.
We can confirm that the details posted earlier are indeed correct.
For those who don't want to scroll down, it's basically behind the big stone head just north-west of Dusty Divot. If you need a reminder you'll see it on the blue marker on the image just below.
If you're still finding it difficult to locate, we've also added a new video to help show where you need to look.
In short though, it's the small brown patch of grass in between the three trees directly behind the big stone head.
And as always you need to ensure you finish the match for it to count. Quit early and you'll have to do it again.
So, finish the game, either with a glorious victory royale. Or wait for someone to off you, like the guy who was lying in wait to shotgun us when we found the battle star (typical).

Fortnite Week 7 Challenges for Season 5 are nearly upon us and should be going live in just a few short hours at 2pm BST later today.
Unlike in past seasons, changes to the game since the launch of Season 5 mean these challenges aren't just relevant for Battle Pass holders, but every player, regardless of whether they purchased the Battle Pass.
For those who need a reminder, The Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks and you can buy a bundle of 1,000 V-Bucks for roughly £8, or earn the V-Bucks in-game through various activities.
Why should you complete these challenges? Well, they help you gain XP that can be used to level up, and Battle Stars to rank up the Battle Pass. This ultimately means more free skins, gliders, pickaxes, emotes and more throughout the season.
One of the harder tasks presented by Epic Games this week, for week 7, is worth 10 Battle Stars, and reads: "Follow the treasure map found in Dusty Divot".
Keep reading for our explainer on how to complete this challenge…

Follow the treasure map found in Dusty Divot
In a slight change to the schedule which was initially thought to be following a treasure map found in Pleasant Park, players will this week find themselves venturing to Dusty Divot for the new treasure map.
If you want to skip that part you can go straight to the X on the map, which you can see in the main image above.
Unlike in most cases this treasure map won't have you heading right over to the other side of the map, because you actually need to head to the big stone head just outside Dusty Divot.
We know it's this stone head and not one of the many others because it has the matching unibrow and moustache as seen on the picture.
The hidden battle star should be located just behind the stone head in-between the three big trees.
As with every week, there's a slight danger this changes when Epic sets the new challenges live. But based on previous weeks and past leaks, we're confident this is what you need to do.
Assuming it is right though, you'll need to collect the Battle Star make sure to finish the game or it won't count.
