There are many players who have noticed mysterious yellow circles popping up on the Fortnite Chapter 5 map. Some players have been left scratching their heads about these glowing markers and how they impact gameplay. Below, we’ll explain everything you need to know about the yellow circles.
What is a yellow circle in Fortnite?
The yellow circles are a way of tacking players in Fortnite carrying a Society Medallion. The players with the medallion are somewhere within the yellow circle, so you can find them much easier. Society Medallions are powerful items dropped by defeated bosses. The medallions grant an awesome shield regeneration buff.
In other words, the more Society Medallions you have, the faster your shield comes back. The only issue is that you’ll be marked with a yellow circle on the map.

Can I remove the yellow circle in Fortnite?
There is no way to remove the yellow circle in Fortnite once you have gotten it. It’s a permanent fixture throughout the match that only goes away when you die. Unfortunately, that’s the price of picking up the medallion, so don’t expect to be able to camp afterward.
How can I get a Society Medallion in Fortnite?
You can get the Society Medallion by beating the Chapter 5 bosses in Fortnite. The bosses will drop them after being beaten, they include:
- Montague
- Nisha
- Oscar
- Peter Griffin
- Valeria
Otherwise, just use the yellow circle and hunt down the players with the Society Medallion. They’ll drop it upon defeat, allowing you to pick it up. A smart strategy is just to wait until those players finish their boss fight and then take them out immediately after. That way, you can fight them in their weakened state.
