Summary
While medallions might seem quite lucrative to acquire in aFortnitematch due to the various buffs they grant, a player has showcased why it is probably a bad idea to get one due to the location markers. Medallions have been a point of contention ever since they were released as part ofFortnite’sChapter 5 Season 1 update, despite their functionality evolving over the seasons.
Fortnitefans are eagerly waiting for the Chapter 5 Season 3 update to release, which is slated to feature a post-apocalyptic theme. While rumors had suggested that aMad Maxcollaboration could be next, Epic Games surprised fans again by announcingFortnite’spartnership withFalloutinstead. As the new season approaches and revamps theFortnitemeta, fans are debating about the utility of medallions in the game.
In a new post on theFortnitesubreddit, user the_haver highlights how risky getting a medallion can be. In the video, the player can get the exact location of the opponent on the map, which helps them to spot the enemy with ease. They go on to sneakily snipe down the enemy through the bush. Despite the enemy hiding behind the rock, it is the disadvantage of using a medallion that aids the player in finding them.
Fortnite Aspect of Gods Medallions Perks
In Chapter 5 Season 2, players can get medallions, also known as the Aspect of Gods, by defeating the various NPC bosses. The likes of Zeus, Hades, Cerberus, andAres are not easy to defeat inFortnite, so it is not easy to get the medallions in the first place. However, each of them provides unique buffs to the player, such as improving damage, vitality, or even movement speed. Every player has their own favorite medallion depending on their playstyle, but there is a caveat to using them. Having the medallions means the player’s location will be marked on the map and the more medallions one has, the more precise the location marker becomes.
Fans are once again at odds about the utility of medallions, with some players stating that it’s just the opponent who didn’t use them wisely, as camping with medallions doesn’t make sense. A few highlighted how difficult it is to take down players withFortnite’sAspect of Agility, contrary to the easy sniper kill that the player got. Moreover, some aggressive players emphasized how grabbing medallions ramps up the fun in the game, considering that the entire lobby starts targeting medallion holders.
On the other hand, several strategic players believe that giving away the location for merely a few buffs is just not worth it. WithFortnite’sChapter 5 Season 3 just around the corner, it remains to be seen what new medallions Epic Games has in store for the new season.
