Medallions are back in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, after being added way back in Chapter 5 Season 1. There are two medallions up for grabs in Chapter 6 Season 1: the Wanderer Medallion and the Night rose medallion.

How to get medallions in Fortnite
Medallions are boss drops that buff you in different ways. The medallions inside Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 are:
- Wanderer Medallioncame by Shogun Xprovides infinite stamina and invisibility while sprinting
- Night rose medallioncame by Night rosemakes your weapons reload themselves
Medallions don’t take up any inventory space because they have their own compartment in your bag (like gold does).
To get the medallion you will need that eliminate the boss NPC holding him. As you get closer, a large health bar for the boss in question will appear at the top of your screen.
Unlike other NPCs, which are quite easy to drop and eliminate immediately, these NPCs all have respawning lackeys that will shoot at you as soon as they see you. That said, it may be easier to loot around the mentioned locations and then head inside to obtain a medallion.
Fortunately, the NPCs shoot like Star Wars Storm Troopers (which means their aim is very poor), so you don’t have to worry too many about the lackeys. Focus on the boss with a decent gun and you should be able to get a medallion. Keep in mind that the boss will replenish its shield frequently, making it an annoying target.
If you see an orange or gold circle on the map, it means that a player in that area also has a medallion. You can eliminate that player to get his medallion.
