How to find Captain America’s Shield in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4

Over the years, Fortnite has introduced all kinds of wacky weapons and consumables, with the ones tied to collaboration events often being the most interesting. Captain America’s Shield has officially made its way into the game, and it’s surprisingly easy to find as long as you keep your eyes peeled and explore the map.

Where to find Captain America’s Shield in the Fortnite Marvel event

You’ll find Captain America’s Shield as regular floor and chest loot, much like you would with any other weapon, shield potion, or other consumable items. However, it’s an epic-grade weapon, so it won’t spawn as often as common items.

In particular, checking Dr Doom and Avenger’s chests is a great way to find event items like this shield. However, it’s not guaranteed, and you’re just as likely to get other event items that you can use toward quests or experimenting with their attacks.

You’ll know you’ve found Captain America’s Shield when you open a chest or approach an area and spot its iconic red, blue, and white circles with a star in its center. It’s hard to miss once you see it, and fortunately, its abilities make it worth the search.

How to use Captain America’s Shield in Fortnite

Captain America’s Shield has three main abilities in Fortnite: throw, block, and charge. You can use it as both a defensive weapon against incoming attacks or go on the offensive and attack other players by throwing it or charging into them.

Each ability has pros and cons, and learning how to use all three is the key to making the most of this shield. Its throw has a decent range, and blocking can help you in sticky situations. Just be careful you don’t accidentally charge into an ongoing battle, or you might get caught in the crossfire.
