How to Get the Birthday Medallion
As Fortnite celebrates its seventh birthday, the game introduces a special event featuring an exciting new element: the Birthday Medallion. This unique item becomes a focal point of the in-game festivities, encouraging players to dive into various popular game modes to join the celebration.
Players are invited to discover and collect a range of festive items such as birthday cakes, Presents, Flare Guns, and Balloons. The Birthday Medallion, however, stands out as a one-of-a-kind feature exclusive to this year's event. It gradually equips players with Balloons, a key component required to complete certain birthday quests, thus enhancing the overall gaming experience during the anniversary celebrations.
Obtaining the Birthday Medallion in Fortnite
To acquire the Birthday Medallion in Fortnite's celebration event, players need to locate a Birthday Present. These special items appear as ground loot or can be found within Chests. After obtaining a Birthday Present, throw it on the ground, and then open it from the side to explore its contents. More often than not, a Medallion will be inside due to its positive spawn rate.
Alternatively, players can secure a Medallion by defeating an opponent who possesses one. The Medallion's special feature is that it allows the player's character to accumulate Balloons over time. As part of the loadout, these Balloons inflate gradually, adding a unique mechanic to the gameplay experience.
Steps to Complete the Birthday Medallion Quest
To fulfill the Birthday Medallion quest in Fortnite, players need to cover 777 meters while airborne using Balloons obtained from the Medallion. A simple strategy involves continuous jumping, letting the Balloons carry the character through the required distance. Success in this quest is marked by a „quest complete“ notification.

The quest is available until October 1, offering a chance to earn exclusive Birthday-themed cosmetics. Completing this before the event concludes ensures players capitalize on these limited-time rewards.
