What are Society Medallions?

Society Medallions are new items in Fortnite that are stored in your inventory, similar to a Victory Crown. They don’t take up any space among any of the five slots and you can acquire them during a Battle Royale match.

The player who grabs a Society Medallion during a match is marked by a yellow circle around them, similar to a bounty circle, but is visible to all players on the mini-map. You can carry multiple Medallions in your inventory and stack them up, but beware as the more of these you have, the more precise the radius of your location is displayed to your opponents.

Additionally, carrying a Society Medallion in your inventory helps regenerate shield over time and the more of these you carry, the faster the shield regeneration rate.

Society Medallions are dropped by Bosses when they are eliminated.

How to get Society Medallions in Fortnite

You can get your hands on a Society Medallion in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 by defeating any of the five bosses roaming around the map namely Oscar, Nisha, Montague, Valeria, and Peter Griffin.

While defeating a boss can be a bit tough as they have their Society Guards roaming around them, make sure you directly aim at the boss there and keep firing. If you stop shooting at a damaged boss, they will then regenerate their shield and become a tougher opponent to fight.

Once you defeat them, they’ll drop a Society Medallion which you can store in your inventory throughout the match. They can also be dropped so you can pass it on to a teammate.

Society Medallions locations

Society Medallions are located at five different POIs around the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 map. They are – Lavish Lair, Grand Glacier, Reckless Railways, Fencing Fields, and Snooty Steppes.

There are five Society Medallions on the map.

You’ll be able to spot them easily on your mini-map with the Medallion icons above these POIs. If you see a Medallion above the location, that means the boss has not been defeated in that location yet. However, if they’ve been eliminated, it’ll show the yellow ring around the player holding it.
