Introduction

If you see a player sporting a Mythic Prized Llama Back Bling, you will know he or she is part of an elite group of players because this item is universally regarded as the hardest item to obtain in Fortnite. Fortnite first introduced Survivor Medals in Chapter 4 Season 4.

The Basics of Survivor Medals

Fortnite Survivor Medals are progression marks that grant you XP and the ability to claim some free rewards. The Survivor Medals are divided into seven distinct rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Exotic, and Mythic. You can obtain each medal by completing a total of 10 Survivor Quests of that specific rarity.  Note: to finish the Mythic level, you only need to complete 9 Survivor Quests.

As you complete each rarity, you will get earn a different colored prized llama back bling. The mythic prized llama is generally regarded as the hardest item to get in Fortnite!

Strategies for Earning Survivor Medals

If you were not aware, Fortnite uses what it considers skill-based matching in Solos, Duos, and Trios where players matchmake with other players based on their skill level. Fortnite takes into consideration the number of Eliminations and Victory Royales. For low skilled players, they will play against many Bots (sometimes half or more of the lobby are Bots). As players progress, there will be less Bots in a lobby and more skilled players. In Duos and Trios, the lowest skilled player in the team is factored in the most. Therefore, some Fortnite players recommend playing in Bot lobbies. That is, you create a new player (level 1) and jump into a game with him or her.

One often asked question (especially for the higher tiers) is whether eliminations can be shared with Duo, Trios, or Squad mates. Having obtained two mythic prized llamas, the answer depends. Sometimes, if the player going for the tier challenge makes the last elimination and the Duo, Trio, or Squad has enough eliminations, it will count. However, to be absolutely safe, the player going for the specific tier quest should have the requisite number of eliminations.

Pro Tip: If you plan to go for the mythic prized llama, we recommend starting as early as possible in a season when you are a lower level. Do not do the daily quests and/or weekly quests or any other quests that may level you up! Instead focus on each tier of the Survivor Medals!

Pro Tip #2: For the mythic prized llama, we recommend playing as a Duos and getting your 10 eliminations before focusing on the Victory Royale.
