You can obtain the First Blood Medallion by defeating Scorpion in Fortnite. He’s one of the bosses you can find wandering the map in every round, although his precise location is randomized between three different areas each time.

Scorpion is a fairly strong boss, so make sure you have some solid loot before trying to defeat him. You can always find Sub-Zero’s Kombat Kit sitting on the ground near Scorpion’s spawn location, so you at least have access to one solid weapon for fighting him.

In addition to the First Blood Medallion, Scorpion also drops a Mythic version of Scorpion’s Kombat Kit for you. These two items are pretty unstoppable together, so working to earn both is a great way to increase your odds of winning. If someone else gets to Scorpion before you do, you can also track them down and eliminate them to grab this Medallion.

Where to find the First Blood Medallion in Fortnite

The First Blood Moon Medallion can be acquired from three locations around the map, including The Living Forest, The Pit, and The Dead Pool. The precise location you need to visit to earn it varies each round, so make sure you check the map for Scorpion’s Medallion marker to find it.

  • The Living Forest can be found east of Whiffy Wharf and west of Flooded Frogs.
  • The Pit is a very narrow bridge located slightly east of Shining Span.
  • The Dead Pool is a hidden area in the sewer system under Masked Meadows.

How to collect the First Blood Medallion in different matches in Fortnite

To complete the Mortal Kombat Cryomancer’s Resolve quest that asks you to “kollect the First Blood Medallion” in different matches, you need to find and obtain Scorpion’s Medallion in two separate matches. This can be done by either fighting and defeating Scorpion to earn it or hunting down another player who does to grab it from them.

What does the First Blood Medallion do in Fortnite?

The First Blood Medallion causes the first hit from the firearm to create an explosion. This ability refreshes each time you reload. It essentially makes some of your shots even more effective in battle by occasionally boosting your damage output.

There are plenty of other tricky tasks you might end up struggling with as you navigate around the island. You might need help spending bars on an Outlaw Flusher and completing the someone is planning a joyride found quest.
