Alright, Fortnite fanatics, listen up! Chapter 7 Season 1 is in full swing, and if you're looking for a leg up on the competition, I've got a tip that'll turn you into a mini-warlord. We're talking about summoning henchmen using those coveted Boss Medallions. Trust me, it's a game-changer.

Fortnite Henchmen are BACK?! Chapter 7's SHOCKING ...

First things first, you need a Medallion. Now, obtaining these isn't exactly a walk in the park. You'll need to take down one of the season's bosses – tough cookies, I know! We've got a separate guide detailing all the Boss locations (check it out!), but a quick heads-up: be prepared for a fight. These guys aren't pushovers, and other players will likely be vying for the same prize. Think of it like a Black Friday stampede, but with more bullets and less discounted TVs. Oh, and if you're playing casually, it can be a bit of a challenge, but totally worth it in my opinion.

Okay, you've finally wrestled a Medallion from a defeated boss. Congratulations, you're halfway there! Now, the magic happens. Simply equip the Medallion (it'll automatically appear in your inventory) and head to a strategically advantageous location. Preferably somewhere defensible, with good sightlines. What I've found is that a building with multiple entry points, while seemingly risky, actually works well because it gives the henchmen multiple ways to engage.

Once you're in position, activate the Medallion. This is usually done by just holding the 'use' button. Presto! A squad of loyal (well, sort of) henchmen will materialize to defend you. They're not the brightest bunch, mind you, and their aim can be... questionable at times. But hey, extra firepower is extra firepower. Think of them as slightly less competent bodyguards. They'll follow you around, engage enemies, and generally make your presence felt. It's a great way to create some chaos and turn the tide of a battle.

Now, a word of caution: having henchmen isn't a guaranteed victory. Skilled players can still outmaneuver them. And a well-placed grenade can wipe out the entire squad in a heartbeat. Plus, carrying a Medallion marks you on the map, so you're essentially advertising your location to everyone nearby. But, if you play smart, use your henchmen strategically, and don't get too cocky, summoning these loyal followers can give you a significant edge. Go forth and conquer, my friends!
