As you run around the map in Fortnite Chapter 5, you may sometimes notice a yellow circle that doesn’t clearly indicate what it’s for. Here’s what the yellow circles on the Fortnite Chapter 5 map do.
What Are the Yellow Map Circles in Fortnite Chapter 5?
If you open the map in Fortnite Chapter 5 and see a strange yellow circle (not the storm circle!), this means that there’s a player with a Society Medallion in that vicinity. It’s basically a “Hey, go and take out this player and steal their item” notification – great for you and not so good for them.
The size of the yellow circle depends on how many Society Medallions that player has. So if it’s a large circle, they only have one. If it’s smaller, they’re most likely holding onto two or more, which means they’re a high-priority target, though I’d only advise going for them if you know you’ll be able to hold your own in battle. This is because if you’ve seen their yellow circle, it means everyone else has too, and you won’t be the only one rushing to find them.
If you’re near or in a yellow circle and don’t want to fight, run away and do it quickly.
Are Society Medallions Worth Getting in Fortnite Chapter 5?
It’s definitely worth getting your hands on at least one Society Medallion in Fortnite Chapter 5, as it will slowly regenerate your health and shield bars over time without taking up a precious inventory slot.
It’s essentially a goldmine for any Fortnite player, as it allows you to last longer than perhaps you usually would and eliminates the need to go out of your way to find healing items if you’re low on health and shields.
If you can survive until the end circle, holding a Society Medallion greatly improves your chances of winning as you can be healed while ducking behind cover – an advantage that the other finalists may not have.
How to Get Society Medallions in Fortnite Chapter 5
There are two ways to get a Society Medallion in Fortnite Chapter 5. These are:
- Stealing it from another player.
- Defeating a Society Boss.
Society Bosses are special elite enemies scattered around the Fortnite map. They’re tough and have ads, so make sure you’ve got healing items on hand. There’s also the worry that other players will be making a beeline to defeat them, so prep well.
There are five Society Bosses in Fortnite Chapter 5, and they can be found in the following locations:
- Peter Griffin (yes, that one): Snooty Steppes.
- Nisha: Fencing Fields.
- Valeria: Reckless Railways.
- Montague: Grand Glacier.
- Oscar: Lavish Lair.
