All Medallion locations and effects in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4

This season is all about stealth.

Medallions are powerful buffs in Fortnite that give you increased damage output, life-stealing abilities, or even temporary invisibility. These effects differ with each season, and during Chapter 5, Season 4, you can find three different medallions with unique buffs at the cost of revealing your character’s location.

All Medallion locations in Fortnite

Each medallion is dropped by Fortnite’s bosses, whom you’ll find scattered around the map. During Chapter 5, Season 4, you’ll find the following bosses in these locations:

  • Doombot: Castle Doom
  • Mysterio: Doomstadt
  • Emma Frost: The Raft

The bosses will stay in their respective POIs and protect their base, allowing you to storm in, defeat them, and take their medallions. Be careful, as other players will likely do the same during your matches. Fortnite bosses and their minions are also surprisingly strong, so be sure to bring a weapon and a medkit or two, just in case.

If another player beats you to a boss and picks up the medallion, you’ll spot a gold ring on your map, indicating their approximate location. The more medallions one person picks up, the more specific this ring will be, allowing you to pinpoint where they are. You have two choices from here: run away or charge forward and try to steal the medallions.

All Fortnite bosses and medallions

Each Fortnite boss has their own medallion that grants special powers. No boss can drop two medallions, but players can equip as many as they can get their hands on. Below is every medallion and its effects.

DoombotSiphonSteal enemy shields and health when you deal damage.
MysterioStealthGain temporary invisibility when you crouch.
Emma FrostRevealReveals the location of nearby enemies, including other players.

You can also combine the effects of each medallion if you pick up multiple. In other words, you might encounter a situation where you quietly camp a spot at the end of a match, crouch to gain invisibility and use the reveal medallion to learn where someone is. From there, any damage you inflict will heal and recharge your shields. You can easily gain a massive advantage over others, especially if you prefer stealthy combat.
