In Fortnite Blitz, few items rival the sheer power of the Saitama Medallion. This game-changing item literally lets you one-punch opponents, making it the ultimate weapon for domination.
Fortnite Blitz matches are inherently faster and more chaotic than standard modes, with a condensed map and powerful medallions accelerating the action. You need an edge to thrive in this frenzy, and the Saitama Medallion provides exactly that. By summoning the might of One Punch Man, you can effortlessly dominate the lobby and secure victory royales. If you want to use it in your matches, here’s everything you need to know.
How to get Saitama Medallion in Fortnite Blitz
To secure the overpowered Saitama Medallion in Fortnite Blitz, you must head to Anvil Park point of interest and capture the Flag at the centre of the location. Since you spawn with a basic weapon and shields, be prepared to fight immediately.
From the Battle Bus, dive directly for the Flag’s capture point. The progress bar will only fill if you have control of the zone. If an enemy contests the area, the progress will halt, forcing you to eliminate them before you can continue hoisting the Flag. Successfully capturing the point rewards you with a cache of high-rarity loot, including the Saitama Medallion itself. The process is quick, requiring only a short period of defense to claim your prize.
If another player captures the Flag first, you cannot acquire the medallion by eliminating them. It is a one-time, location-based reward. If you miss the initial capture, the opportunity is lost for that match. Lastly, this medallion is exclusive to Fortnite Blitz. It is not available in the standard Battle Royale mode, and given the removal of other medallions from the core game, it is unlikely to be added there in the future.
How to use Saitama Medallion in Fortnite Blitz
Securing the Saitama Medallion revolutionizes your gameplay in Fortnite Blitz, granting the ultimate power: a one-hit KO with your pickaxe. This ability makes all the guns in your arsenal borderline useless, but you can carry one long to mid-range weapon just to challenge enemies from a distance, but your real power comes in close-range combat.
To maximize this power, pair the medallion with movement-enhancing items or other medallions. This is the optimal strategy, as it mitigates your greatest weakness: closing the gap between you and your enemies. While formidable, you are not invincible. Most shotguns cannot eliminate you in a single body shot if your shields are full. Therefore, prioritize carrying Shields and Medkits to maintain maximum health and armor. It allows you to tank a shot or two as you move in for the decisive blow.
You can also carry mobility items, which allows you to instantly close the gap with the enemy and land that one-hit elimination on them.
Beyond combat, your empowered pickaxe can instantly destroy any structure or obstacle in your path, which makes it an invaluable tool for rapid rotations. I’ve already secured two Victory Royals using this medallion, and the experience is incredibly satisfying. There’s nothing quite like leaving an entire lobby bewildered as a single pickaxe blow defeats them.
