Alright, so the other day I was jumping into Fortnite, you know, Chapter 5, and I kept seeing this weird yellow circle on the map. I was like, “What the heck is that thing?” I’ve played a ton of Fortnite, but this was new to me. Turns out, it’s a pretty big deal this season.
What I Did First
First, I just played like normal, trying to avoid the circle because, honestly, I thought it was bad news. I mean, in Fortnite, you never know, right? Could be a new storm thing or some trap. Anyway, I noticed that the circle was actually moving around the map. Not just randomly, it seemed like it was following someone.

Digging Deeper
So, I got curious and decided to check it out. I followed the circle from a distance, trying to see what would happen. I saw some other players heading towards it too, and that’s when things got interesting. There were some big fights, and I realized that the circle was actually marking a player. Not just any player, though. This was someone carrying a Society Medallion.
Figuring It Out
Okay, so these Society Medallions are new this season. They’re like these special items that boost your shields. Makes sense why everyone was after the person with the medallion. The yellow circle is basically a big, flashing sign saying, “Hey, there’s a powerful player here!”
What Else I Learned
- Yellow Circle: Indicates the location of a player with a Society Medallion.
- Society Medallion: Boosts your shields, making you tougher.
- Hot Spots: These are named locations on the map with yellow text, and they have better loot and supply drones. I confused these with the yellow circle at first, but they’re different.
Putting It to the Test
After figuring all this out, I started using this info in my games. If I saw the yellow circle, I knew there was a good chance for a big fight but also a big reward if I could take out the medallion player. And those Hot Spots? Definitely hitting those up for the good loot.
My Takeaway
So, yeah, the yellow circle in Fortnite Chapter 5 is a game-changer. It’s not just a random thing; it’s a strategic element. You can use it to find strong players, get into big fights, or even just to know where the action is. I’m definitely keeping an eye on it from now on.
