The latest World Zero scavenger hunt event has arrived, challenging players to collect 100 Star Balls scattered across all ten worlds. Each world contains ten Star Balls, and every milestone of ten collected rewards you with a unique weapon skin. Completing the entire hunt unlocks additional rewards, including a random dyed Star Ball mount, the Ultra Instinct title, and high-tier equipment.
While collecting all 100 Star Balls sounds intimidating at first, this year’s event is much easier than previous scavenger hunts. Many of the locations are placed along natural routes through each world, making the event far less frustrating than earlier hunts.
This guide covers all Star Ball locations across every world and explains the rewards you can earn for completing the event.

Best Strategy for Completing the Event
Instead of collecting Star Balls randomly, players should complete one world at a time.
Following a structured route reduces travel time and prevents accidentally missing collectibles.
A few additional tips include:
- Use teleporters whenever possible.
- Reset your character to save travel time.
- Check caves and hidden corners first.
- Search around previous scavenger hunt locations.
- Complete worlds in numerical order.
Many locations are reused from older events, meaning experienced players can often predict where collectibles are hidden.
Absolutely.
Compared to previous World Zero scavenger hunts, this event is much more approachable. The majority of locations are placed logically throughout each world, and difficult platforming sections are kept to a minimum.
The combination of weapon skins, a unique mount, an exclusive title, and high-tier equipment makes the event one of the most rewarding limited-time activities currently available in World Zero.
Even players who only care about cosmetics should consider completing the hunt since several of the weapon skins are exclusive to this event and may not return in the future.
