Fortnite Survivor Medals: How they work & free rewards

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 debuts Survivor Medals, a new method for gaining XP during Battle Royale matches. By acquiring these, players can rank up more quickly, as they are inspired by Battle Medals which were last seen in Chapter 2. Here’s how they work and the free rewards you can get by earning them.

The latest Fortnite season has arrived and players are enjoying the heist theme Epic Games has once again brought to the island which has added to their excitement. As the island is now taken over by Kado Thorne and his Eclipse faction, three new POIs, new powerful weapons and much more has been added to the game which players would need as a Last Resort to carry out heists around those locations.

While heist is the only resort for survival during the Battle Royale island, Epic has introduced a new way for players to be acknowledged as they climb their way to Victory Royale. Survivor Medals, inspired from Battle Medals in Chapter 2, are a new addition to the game as players can complete a set number of Survivor Quests to get XP and free rewards during their gameplay.

Here’s how they work and the free rewards you can get by completing related quests in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4.

What are Survivor Medals in Fortnite & how do they work

Survivor Medals are inspired by Battle Medals, which were introduced in Chapter 2 and used to award players with XP for conducting various in-game actions during a Battle Royale match. In Chapter 4 Season 4, players receive these medals after completing a series of Survivor Quests, individually within a single match, which involves eliminating opponents while surviving in the game.

Survivor Medals come in seven distinct rarities. They are: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Exotic, and Mythic. You can obtain each medal by completing a total of 10 Survivor Quests of that rarity.

As you earn more medals of a higher rarity, you will receive increasingly difficult quests to complete, through which you can acquire access to medals of the next rarities. Survivor Medals can only be obtained by completing Survivor Quests that are available in Chapter 4 Season 4 until November 3, 2023.
