   • They provide various buffs:
     • The Machinist’s Medallion: Regenerates shield over time.
     • Ringmaster Scarr’s Medallion: Grants infinite ammo and a small damage boost.
     • Megalo Don’s Medallion: Provides infinite nitro.
   • Medallions have a unique slot in your inventory, similar to gold, so they don’t occupy regular inventory space.
2. Additional Uses:
   • Medallions can be used to enter vaults containing the boss’s special vehicle if the boss spawns at their specific point of interest (POI).

How to Collect a Medallion

   • At the start of each game, medallion locations are marked on the map.
   • Bosses can be found at specific POIs or moving around the map in a convoy.

     • They can be at their designated POIs or traveling in a convoy with a battle bus and upgraded cars.
