Feat Medals in Rejected Draft are permanent rewards for completing feats, and they all feed one number: Feat Mult, which multiplies every currency reward before exponents apply. A medal you earn starts at 10% power; enhancing it, by clicking it and paying a cost that rises each time, unlocks its full effect for good.
That makes medals one of the strongest long-term boosts in the game. Here is how the bonus is calculated, how to enhance well, what each category asks for, and how to read the tasks the game hides.
What Feat Medals Do
Every medal you achieve contributes to Feat Mult, and all of those contributions multiply together. The game’s own description of the math:
- An enhanced medal contributes the full Feat Medal Base.
- An achieved but unenhanced medal contributes 1 + (Feat Medal Base – 1) / 10, which is about a tenth of the bonus.
- Enhancing a medal replaces its weaker contribution with the full one.
Because Feat Mult works before exponents, a higher Feat Mult lifts every currency you earn. You can raise the Feat Medal Base itself through three economy skills in the skill tree: Investment Plan (+0.0001), Venture Capital (+0.001) and Market Dominance (+0.005).
The Steam version’s 208 achievements share their names with the Feat Medals, so earning medals also fills out your Steam profile, as long as you play in Standard Mode.
How to Enhance a Medal
Open the Feat Medals tab and click an earned medal to enhance it. A few rules shape when to do it:
- Each enhancement makes the next one more expensive. The game says it uses triangular exponent scaling, so costs climb steeply.
- You always pay with the currency you have the most of. You never choose; the game takes it from your largest balance.
- The progress bar tells you when. It compares your largest balance with the next enhancement cost and estimates how long until you can afford it. “READY” means you can afford an enhancement, but only if an achieved medal is waiting.
- Enhance only in universe 00-0000. Feats can be achieved in any universe, but medals can only be enhanced in the original one.
Medals are permanent: they persist when you reincarnate into another universe, along with Cards and Brushes. The game even warns you when your enhanced medal count looks too low for a tough universe and suggests enhancing more in 00-0000 first.
Multiversal medals are the exception to the cost rules. You earn them by defeating Artists and collecting Cards and Brushes, and they come fully enhanced for free in any universe, without raising the cost of other enhancements.
The Seven Medal Categories
| Category | What it asks for |
|---|---|
| General | Broad progress. Most unlock naturally as you play and make numbers go up. |
| Glossary | Defeating sketches of each rarity, with medals at 25%, 50%, 75% and full Glossary completion per rarity. |
| Shop | Buying tools and stat upgrades, and “wringing too much value out of the Shop.” |
| Multiversal | Artist victories, card collections and Brushes. Automatically enhanced. |
| Feng Shui | Displaying specific groups of sketches together in the Gallery. |
| Specs | Reaching notable battle spec values. |
| True Feats | Unusual achievements that reward experimentation and out-of-the-box thinking. |
Feng Shui is the category that confuses people most. The in-game tip spells it out: these medals are earned by hiding sketches in the Gallery so the remaining ones sit in specific orders.
How to See Hidden Feat Tasks
For most categories, hovering over an unearned feat shows its task. Feng Shui, Specs and True Feats keep their tasks hidden until you buy the Medal X-Ray tool from the Shop, which reveals the exact task text for locked medals in those three categories.
If you are hunting True Feats, Medal X-Ray is the single most useful purchase, since those tasks are deliberately odd. A few medals are about the game’s community artists, too: every sketch was drawn by a community artist, and the credits icon at the bottom left of each sketch shows who. One medal in that group, Credit Where Due, is also a requirement for at least one secret code.
Easy Mode and the Demo
Two things change how medals work for you:
- Easy Mode enhances eligible medals automatically and for free. The trade-off is that Easy Mode disables Steam achievements and leaderboard submissions, and the choice is permanent for that save.
- Demo imports do not bring medals along. When you import a Steam demo save, Feat Medals and the Masterpiece Archive reset. Our guide to transferring your demo save lists everything that does carry over.
Rejected Draft was in Early Access at its November 11, 2026 launch, so medal counts and numbers may shift with updates. For more idle and incremental progress, our Task Bar Hero guides and our guide to leveling up the Cube in Task Bar Hero are good next reads.
