The Fortnite community reacts to Redditor's unconventional yet potent use of a Society Medallion

In the Reddit clip, u/DwightSchrutesBeets1, clad in the exclusive and rare Havoc skin, can be seen in the middle of a solo Ranked Zero Build match with an enemy hot on their trail. Since they were low on health and the enemy in pursuit did not show any signs of quitting, the player needed to think quickly to potentially outsmart their relentless pursuer.

In the moment of desperation, u/DwightSchrutesBeets1 attempted something unorthodox by dropping their Peter Griffin Society Medallion mid-air to distract the enemy. This move proved to be a stroke of tactical brilliance as the enemy quickly diverted their attention away from u/DwightSchrutesBeets1 and toward the precious Society Medallion.

As the Society Medallion slowly descended, u/DwightSchrutesBeets1 took advantage of the enemy's focus on claiming the Medallion. The player landed at a distance from the enemy, equipped themself with a powerful sniper rifle with a Drum Mag Weapon Mod, and unleashed shots upon the enemy. With Zero Build rendering the enemy defenseless on the open road, the enemy was swiftly eliminated, thanks to strategic thinking.

The Fortnite community responded to u/DwightSchrutesBeets1's tactical brilliance with a wave of applause and awe, with players appreciating the well-executed distraction play using the Society Medallion. Players not only commended the quick thinking and creativity displayed by the player but also talked about integrating potential plays like this in their future games.
