Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 4 has introduced a variety of exciting new content, but one of the standout additions is the Gwenpool skin, which has quickly become a fan favorite. With more players using this skin than any other in the game, it’s clear that Gwenpool is the star of the season. However, the storyline surrounding Gwenpool is just as captivating as the skin itself, with secret locations, quests, and even Mythic weapons tied to her character.
Discovering Gwenpool’s Secret Location
Right from the first day of the season, players uncovered a secret Gwenpool location near the Raft, where she was held captive. In this area, players could interact with Gwenpool through a series of secret quests designed to help her escape. Now, Gwenpool has finally broken free from her prison cell, and we’re here to explore what that means for Fortnite players.
Secret Medallion: Power Without the Boss Fight
While Gwenpool’s escape is exciting, there’s another hidden gem in Season 4: a secret Medallion that you can obtain without eliminating a boss. Unlike the less useful Mysterio Medallion or the siphon Medallion from the Doombot, this Medallion—known as the Reveal Medallion—originates from the Emma Frost boss at the Raft. Once obtained, it sends out a ping every minute, revealing the location of nearby enemies. This powerful ability is essential for gaining an edge in battles.
However, there’s an alternative way to get this Medallion’s ability without the hassle of defeating Emma Frost. By visiting the Underworld’s train station and interacting with the NPC Arimus, who was also present last season, players can hire her to unlock the reveal ability. Arimus will scan the surrounding area for enemies and loot, effectively granting you the Reveal Medallion’s powers without ever having to face the boss.
Gwenpool’s Escape and New Mythic Weapons
Gwenpool’s storyline in Fortnite takes an exciting turn as she escapes from her prison at the Raft. Initially locked up inside a destroyed building with a pink door, Gwenpool could be spoken to through a series of quests that ultimately led to her freedom. These quests revealed key information, including a connection to the tier 100 battle pass character, Shere, who is leading the fight against Dr. Doom.
But Gwenpool’s escape is just the beginning. Her freedom also introduces a new Mythic weapon to the game—her signature dual SMGs. These Mythic weapons, first seen in the Chapter 5 Season 4 trailer being used by Peeverine, are unique as they feature a comic book effect and a custom Gwenpool wrap. They deal slightly more damage than the standard dual SMGs, making them a powerful addition to any player’s arsenal.
Gwenpool as a Mythic Boss
Contrary to initial beliefs that Gwenpool would simply be an NPC ally, she is, in fact, a Mythic boss. To acquire her Mythic pistols, players must track down and eliminate Gwenpool herself. While her exact location is still a mystery, it’s possible that she will either take over the Raft from Emma Frost or act as a wandering boss across the island, similar to the Wolverine from Chapter 2 Season 4.
As more players discover Gwenpool’s location and challenge her for her Mythic weapons, it’s clear that this character is central to the action in Fortnite’s current season.
