How to earn Survivor Medals in Fortnite Season 4

Survivor Medals are similar to Accolades, a feature first added in Fortnite Chapter 2. You earn them by simply staying alive and completing special quests. However, it’s important to note that Fortnite Survivor medals have seven rarities, ranging from Common (Gray) to Mythic (Gold).

If you stay alive long enough, you will receive your first medal. To upgrade it, you will need to complete a Survivor Quest which challenges you to stay alive while getting a certain number of eliminations. These quests are available in Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

Survivor Quests get progressively harder, so earning the Mythic medal will be one of the toughest challenges in Fortnite Chapter 4 – Season 4.

Here are all the rarities of the prestigious medal in the new Fortnite season:

• Common
• Uncommon
• Rare
• Epic
• Legendary
• Exotic
• Mythic

This impressive achievement comes with a free cosmetic item, the Prized Llama Back Bling. The back bling has seven rarities as well, and you will unlock it once you get a Common medal. Earning a Mythic Survivor Medal will grant you a Mythic style for the back bling, which is perfect for bragging rights.
