Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, titled Absolute Doom, has introduced exciting new gameplay elements with the return of Medallions. These powerful items, linked to formidable bosses across the map, offer players unique abilities that can turn the tide of battle. Here’s a comprehensive look at what each new Medallion does and how to obtain them.
1. Siphon Medallion
- Dropped by: Doombot
- Location: Castle Doom
- Effect: Restores health and shields as you deal damage or eliminate opponents.
The Siphon Medallion is one of the most sought-after items this season. To get it, you need to defeat Doombot, who resides in the throne room of Castle Doom. Located in the northern part of Castle Doom, Doombot is guarded by minions but is manageable with a decent shotgun. Once defeated, he will drop the Siphon Medallion, along with Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets and Doctor Doom’s Monarch Pistol (mythic). This Medallion restores health and shields when you damage or eliminate enemies, making it invaluable in intense battles.
2. Stealth Medallion
- Dropped by: Mysterio
- Location: Doomstadt
- Effect: Grants temporary invisibility while crouching.
To acquire the Stealth Medallion, players must defeat Mysterio in Doomstadt. Mysterio can be found in the main square and is known for his teleportation and clone summoning abilities. Focusing on Mysterio and ignoring the clones is key to winning this fight. After taking him down, you’ll receive the Stealth Medallion along with Mysterio’s Sovereign Shotgun (mythic). This Medallion provides temporary invisibility while crouching, perfect for stealthy maneuvers and surprise attacks.
3. Reveal Medallion
- Dropped by: Emma Frost
- Location: The Raft
- Effect: Occasionally reveals the location of all nearby opponents.
Emma Frost, located beneath The Raft, is the source of the Reveal Medallion. She is generally considered the easiest of the three bosses to defeat. By landing in the eastern section of The Raft and making your way to the bottom, you’ll find Emma Frost and her henchmen. Upon her defeat, she drops the Reveal Medallion and Emma Frost’s Striker Burst AR. This Medallion periodically reveals the location of nearby opponents, providing a strategic advantage by helping you track enemies.
Bonus: War Machine Arsenal Weapons
This season also introduces the War Machine Arsenal weapons, which include:
- War Machine’s Arsenal: A versatile weapon allowing you to fire bullets and rockets. Reload to stock up on small ammo bullets.
- War Machine’s Shoulder Auto Turret: An automatic targeting backpack that shoots at enemies.
- War Machine’s Hover Jets: Enable aerial maneuvers with hovering and boosting capabilities.
These weapons can be found in Avengers and Doom chests across the island, especially in new POIs like Doomstadt, Castle Doom, and The Raft. They can also appear as floor loot or in supply drones.
With the new Medallions and War Machine Arsenal weapons, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 brings fresh strategies and challenges to the game. Whether you’re aiming to restore your health, become invisible, or reveal enemy locations, these new features promise to enhance your gameplay experience.
