Throughout the 7 year history of Fortnite Battle Royale, some items have become infamously overpowered.

Whether gamers are looking for a challenge, consider themselves completionists, or just curious, this list mentions the hardest Accolades to get in Fortnite. On top of this, it also provides some tips and tricks that fans can follow in order to make it easier to obtain them.

Updated October 25, 2024, by Ashely Claudino: Even though Accolades aren’t the best way to earn XP, gamers can repeat them as many times as they want and consistently receive experience points. The most difficult Accolades to acquire grant more XP, so we’ve updated this list with some additional entries to give players some ideas if they’re trying to level up a few times before the end of Chapter 5 Season 4.

7 First Landing

First Player to Reach the Ground

Although this challenge seems pretty straightforward, it will most likely take longer than expected for most players. In order to be the one to touch the ground in a Fortnite match, gamers will have to meet an optimal set of circumstances and luck also plays a huge role in being successful here.

The easiest way to get the First Landing Accolade is to immediately jump out of the Battle Bus as soon as it starts its route, then look for the highest point nearby. However, since the glider will open once players are a certain distance from the ground, they must aim their character away from the highest point to delay this. Then, once they can’t delay it any longer, they can turn back to the highest point and land.

6 Medallion Magnet

Three Medallions Held at Once in a Match

There are three Medallions on the Fortnite map, and in order to get this Accolade, gamers must have the three Medallions in their inventory at the same time. To do this, they either defeat all of the bosses and acquire the Medallions themselves or eliminate the player that’s already taken down the boss and stolen the Medallion.

To get this Accolade, not only do gamers need to visit various locations and defeat bosses surrounded by hostile security bots, but they might also have to eliminate challenging players who have completed this task, meaning they probably won’t be easy to defeat, as they’ll have access to the boss’s Mythic weapon and Medallion ability.

5 Vengeful Revenge

Eliminate a Player that Eliminated You in a Match

The Vengeful Revenge Accolade is quite difficult when playing the standard Battle Royale game mode, as it requires a series of steps in order to complete. First, players will have to be eliminated, then brought back to life via the reboot van, and lastly, they must hunt down the person who took them out and eliminate them.

Knowing how to aim is vital to landing shots and taking out opponents in Fortnite – here are some tips and tricks to improve aim.

The best way to acquire this Accolade is to play Team Rumble, which is a big team game mode that allows players to instantly respawn upon being eliminated. Since everyone is constantly being eliminated and brought back, it becomes much easier to target an opponent that’s already eliminated the player before.

4 Against the World

Win a Squads Match as a Solo

In the early days of Fortnite, it was common for streamers to play Squads games as solos – this became known as “playing Solo-Squads”. Gamers who want to try to complete this feat nowadays will be awarded the Against the World Accolade, as it requires a solo player to win a Squads match by themselves.

This isn’t an easy task, so players who want to try to acquire this Accolade will definitely have to prepare for it and create their own strategy. The best chances are when the end game comes and many squads have already lost some members. If gamers are lucky, they might find themselves up against a two-player squad or even just a solitary solo.

3 There’s No Time

Win a match without reloading

The inability to reload in Fortnite goes hand-in-hand with the Jammed Clips Wastelander Challenge, which will be available later this season. It makes it so that once gamers deplete a weapon’s clip, they won’t be able to refill it with more ammo. This Accolade doesn’t physically prevent players from doing it like the Wastelander Challenge, so they will have to focus on stopping themselves from reloading their weapons after they’ve used it,

Gamers can use their weapons, but they won’t ever be able to reload them, so to get the There’s No Time Accolade in Fortnite, players will have to switch their gun for another one once it’s out of ammo.

2 Elimination Escapade

25 Eliminations in a Match

It is obvious why Elimination Escapade is such a difficult Accolade to acquire in Fortnite. Not only is extremely hard to take down more than a dozen players without being eliminated, it’s also rare to come across that many players during a Battle Royale match.

Fortnite: 7 Best Landing Spots in Chapter 5 Season 4

Knowing where to drop in Fortnite Battle Royale is extremely important to unlocking the pathway to the Victory Royale.

Fortnite matches last about 20 minutes if the player makes it to the Top 10. However, since gamers are scattered all over the massive island, many of them will be taken out before the Storm Circle is small enough to get them all in the same place.

The best way to attempt to get this Accolade is to land in a busy location, such as a Hot Spot, take out anyone that you come across, and then once you’ve cleared out the place, move onto the next popular location.

1 Pacifist/True Pacifist

Win a Match Without Eliminating/Damaging an Opponent

The Pacifist and True Pacifist are two separate Accolades, but they’re both extremely difficult. Thankfully, gamers who get the True Pacifist Accolade will automatically unlock the Pacifist Accolade, as one implies the other; the True Pacifist Accolade requires players to get a Victory Royale without damaging players, which means they will also win without eliminating someone. While these Accolades require a lot of luck, there are ways to increase the chances of success.

The best way to do this is to camp until the late-game stage of the match. Once it’s down to two people, players should wait until the Storm Circle gets as small as possible. Then, they can either use builds to trap their opponent in the Storm, indirectly causing them to lose health, or they can remain hidden a try to win a heal-off with medkits and other healing items available in Chapter 5 Season 3.
