Here is everything you need to know about Medallions in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked.

Medallions are back in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. First introduced in Season 1, Medallions offers players benefits such as added shield, damage, and more. This season is similar, but there are three Medallions instead of four. This article explains everything you need to know about Medallions in the new Fortnite season. 

Where to find Medallions in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 

The Siphon, Dash, Speed, and Damage Medallions from the Myths & Mortals season are no more. Three different Medallions stand in their place, presumably for the duration of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. 

A trifecta of non-player character (NPC) bosses carry these Medallions alongside new Mythic weapons. Below, we have outlined where you can find the new Fortnite Medallions and what each one offers for an in-game benefit:

Fortnite Medallions in Chapter 5 Season 3 appear slightly toned down compared to Season 2. However, that does not mean they aren't worth seeking out. Firstly, The Machinist's Medallion may become a go-to simply because of the Shield regeneration aspect. This benefit makes fighting less stressful since you don't have to stop and pop Shield Potions every few seconds.

The Ringmaster Scarr's Medallion should also be a solid option, especially considering the infinite ammo aspect. With constant pressure and not having to worry about running out of ammunition, you could be a real thorn in your opponent's side. Lastly, Megalo Don's Medallion is the wild card. It's unclear how useful it will be based on the new Nitro mechanic, so we'll have to see how it plays out.
