An important concept you must know before playing the extra mode is the Gold Stars in Fortnite Festival.

Gold Stars in Fortnite Festival are the highest performance rating one can achieve in the game mode. These stars essentially measure your skill and execution of songs in the mode. They represent the peak of what you can achieve, representing the near-perfect performance of a Jam Track.

Playing songs and maintaining combos contributes to your star rating. The stars displayed on the left are personal stars, representing your performance.

On the other hand, the stars displayed on the right are band stars, representing the performance of your entire band during a particular song. Epic Games also allows you to see each player’s ratings at the end of a song.

Playing with various instruments allows you to maximize your performance rating. Hence, forming a band of four is optimal, allowing you to use several instruments throughout your performance.

Ensure you use the Overdrive feature in sync with your band to earn big score bonuses. The Overdrive feature doubles your score multiplier for a limited time.

Always aim for ‘perfect’ or ‘awesome’ ratings of notes. Achieving a high combo with accurate notes and good timing will further boost your performance score.

Doing this on the highest difficulty, you can consistently reach Gold stars in Fortnite Festival, which is optimal as a higher difficulty allows you to score more points.
