Fortnite Survivor Medals: All levels and rewards

Fortnite players will have to complete Survival Quests to unlock Survivor Medals and earn XP. These can be seen under the "Quests" tab in between "Battle Pass" and "Compete."

The Survivor Medal levels in Fortnite are as follows: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Exotic, and Mythic. These are unlocked by finishing ten Survivor Quests of that respective level. As is expected, higher levels bring in more difficult challenges.
