Fortnite Medallion Visibility Concerns
Fortnite players are advocating for a change to the visibility of Medallions, which currently allow for easy tracking of the players holding them. Introduced in Chapter 5 Season 1, Medallions offer shield regeneration but come with the downside of making players visible on the map and mini-map through yellow circles. This has led to strategic disadvantages for Medallion holders, prompting the community to call for adjustments to the indicator circles.
Community Feedback on Medallion Tracking
Reddit user ExitNo7778 and others have expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of Medallion tracking. The visibility of the yellow circles is inconsistent, with some players finding them hard to see, especially on certain terrains or on the mini-map. Comparisons have been made to the clearer visibility of Bounty targets, with some players feeling that the Medallions’ drawbacks now outweigh their benefits.
Medallion Benefits and Drawbacks
Despite the visibility issues, Medallions offer unique benefits such as speed boosts, increased damage, dash movements, and health siphoning from eliminated opponents. However, the community’s concern is that the tracking feature may be too punitive, especially in the final stages of a game where the mini-map could become cluttered with indicators.
Potential Future Updates
As Medallions continue to be a significant element in Chapter 5 Season 2, there is hope within the Fortnite community that Epic Games will address these concerns in future updates. Players are looking for a balance that maintains the Medallions’ advantages while mitigating the tracking issue.
