The New Society in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1

Fortnite Chapter 5 introduces the new Society, an elite group of medallion holders, of which Peter Griffin is a member. This society brings fresh challenges and gameplay mechanics, requiring players to work together or battle valiantly on their own. To take down Peter Griffin, one must be prepared to unload tons of ammo, outmaneuver the henchmen, and exhibit the utmost skill and expertise against this formidable NPC boss.

The Role of Peter Griffin in the New Society

Peter Griffin, the lovable character from the popular Family Guy TV show, has taken on a new role in the society of medallion holders. Suddenly, he has turned into a vicious bond villain, far removed from the family man we all know and love.


As one of the five society members, Peter poses a significant threat, and it's up to us, the players, to bring him down and claim his medallion. Get ready for a thrilling fight with Peter Griffin in Fortnite's new society.


Identifying the Location of Peter Griffin

Before we can face the fancy Peter Griffin, decked out in a nice tux, we must first locate his hideout. Our journey begins in the Snooty Steppes, a picturesque place reminiscent of a Spanish beach town, with its vertically built houses and beautiful stairways. Make your way up the stairs, climbing the cliffside, until you reach the topside of the Snooty Steppes, where the grand fortress of Peter Griffin awaits.

Navigating the Snooty Steppes

The Snooty Steppes, with its towering houses and intricate stairways, can be a maze to navigate. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the layout, using the stairs strategically to access different sections of the town. The verticality of the town provides ample opportunities for ambushes and sniping, so keep your senses sharp as you make your way towards Peter's fortress.


Recognizing Peter's Fortress

Atop the cliff, you'll find Peter Griffin's imposing fortress, an elegant mansion built of stone, cement, and adorned with blue or purple window shutters and gold trim. I have a slight color-blind thing, so I probably shouldn't give directions based on colors 😆. Anyway, this grand structure, with its multiple levels and rooms, serves as the stronghold of sir Peter Griffin. Prepare yourself, for within these walls lies the battle of a lifetime (I may be upselling a bit).


The Battle: Taking Down Peter Griffin

With the location of Peter Griffin's fortress identified, it's time to prepare for battle. It's important to understand his attack patterns and the dangers his henchmen pose to win.


Peter Griffin's Attack Patterns

Peter Griffin's attack patterns may seem erratic, as he's known to break into spontaneous dance moves during battle. However, he's not to be underestimated, as he wields a powerful shotgun that can quickly deplete your health. Keep your distance, employing long-range attacks, and be prepared to dodge and weave as he retaliates with his devastating shotgun.

Beware The Henchmen

As you approach the grand fortress, be cautious of the henchmen that patrol the area. With the mansion's numerous ground-level doors, the henchmen can attack from multiple angles, catching the unprepared off guard. Prioritize eliminating the guards outside the mansion, thinning their numbers, before engaging in the final battle with the fancy Peter Griffin himself.


Claiming the Society Medallion

Victory over Peter Griffin rewards you with the society medallion, a symbol of your conquest. But how can you claim this coveted item, and what can you do with it once it's in your possession?


How to Collect the Medallion

Collecting the society medallion is as simple as standing next to it. Once acquired, the medallion seamlessly integrates into your inventory, without occupying an inventory slot. This allows you to carry it without blocking space for your shield potions, guns or whatever else you have acquired.

How to use the Society Medallion

The society medallion's power extends beyond the battle with Peter Griffin. The medallion has two main purposes that can help you a lot during the rest of the match.


Unlock the Snooty Steppes Vault

Firstly, the medallion can be used to unlock the Snooty Steppes Vault, revealing new loot and rewards for the fearless explorer.


Carry the Medallion for a Shield Boost

If you don't need the stuff from the vault, you can hold on to the medallion instead. It'll give you a boost to your shield recharge rate, which is great for tough fights and staying alive against strong enemies. But be careful - if you hold a medallion, other players will know where you are on the map.


The more medallions you have, the smaller and more exact the marker gets. So if you see an orange or gold circle on the map, that means someone nearby has a medallion too. Take them down to get their medallion for yourself!

Insights on Other Society Medallions in Fortnite Chapter 5

While Peter Griffin's medallion may be your first target, there are other society medallions scattered throughout Fortnite Chapter 5, waiting to be claimed. Let's look at the locations of these medallions and the rewards they give.


Four More Society Medallions

The society medallions can be found in various locations, each offering its own unique challenges and rewards. From the Reckless Railways to the Grand Glacier Hotel, collecting the medallions of valiant society members, such as Oscar, Nisha, Montague, and Valeria, is an epic challenge.


Is it true that Peter Griffin is now a playable character in Fortnite?

Yes, it is true! Peter Griffin from the popular animated TV show "Family Guy" is now a playable character in Fortnite. Players can obtain his medallion by completing challenges and unlocking him as a special character to use in the game.


McScratchey's Final Thoughts

Taking down Peter Griffin and snagging his sweet medallion in Fortnite Chapter 5 is a total blast! With the right moves, you can totally wreck Peter and come out on top. But first, you gotta know the lay of the land in Fortnite and where Peter's hideout is located. Once you find it, be ready for a wild fight!


Peter's got some serious moves, and his henchmen are no joke. But with some quick reflexes and a little luck, you'll be the one standing tall. And when you finally grab that medallion, the rewards are worth it. Whether you're unlocking a vault or just boosting your shield, you'll feel like the king (or queen) of Fortnite.


So get out there and show Peter who's boss! And while you're at it, why not explore for some more medallions? The adventure never ends!
