Fortnite is celebrating its 7th birthday, and you can snag a special medallion to join the festivities! Here’s how to acquire it on the island during Chapter 5 Season 4.
Fortnite’s highly anticipated annual Birthday celebration is upon us, marking the game’s 7th year. Each year, Epic Games introduces a birthday-themed Battle Bus, complete with cake consumables and gifts for players to unwrap during their gameplay across the island.
This year follows the same festive tradition, but there’s an exciting addition: the Birthday Medallion. This medallion functions similarly to other medallions, providing players with unique abilities once claimed.
Where to Find the Birthday Medallion
The Birthday Medallion can be found inside Presents scattered throughout the island.

To secure a Birthday Medallion, simply collect a Birthday Present, toss it down in front of you, and open it to discover the Medallion along with additional free loot. While Presents can be discovered in loot chests and as floor loot across the island, your best chance of finding one is near a Birthday Cake at various POIs.
How Does a Birthday Medallion Work?
In contrast to typical Medallions, Birthday Medallions do not mark your location on the map. This allows multiple players to hold these items in their inventory simultaneously.
You can gain up to three balloons over time using the Medallion.
Upon collecting this Medallion, you gain the unique ability to acquire a Balloon with each jump, up to a maximum of three at any given time. This means that as you jump, a Balloon attaches to your back over time, enabling you to leap higher into the air.
However, be cautious of enemies, as they can pop your Balloons when you’re airborne, causing you to fall and sustain fall damage.
