How to get Captain America’s Shield in Fortnite

In the latest update of Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4, a new addition has been made – the iconic Captain America’s Shield. This weapon not only slices through enemies but also acts as a shield, safeguarding you from incoming enemy fire.

So, how does someone get Captain America’s Shield in Fortnite?

Captain America’s Shield: How to get it in Fortnite

In the latest season of Fortnite, themed around Marvel, several in-game items mirror well-known Marvel heroes. Among these, Doctor Doom’s Gauntlets and Captain America’s Shield stand out as notable examples.

Although it’s common knowledge that conquering Doctor Doom is necessary to acquire his Gauntlets, a lot of people are still puzzling over the solution to locate Captain America’s Shield.

Absolutely, Captain America’s Shield isn’t hidden away as a boss drop. Instead, you might discover it scattered across the game world as random loot on the ground or tucked inside chests. The location is pure chance.

How much damage does the shield do in Fortnite?

As a fan, I can’t help but admire this incredible shield! It packs quite a punch – dishing out 60 damage to players and a whopping 100 damage to structures. This makes it one of the game’s most formidable weapons! The accuracy is also off the charts, making it nearly impossible to miss. Plus, after each throw, it returns right back to me – what a treat! To top it all off, this shield is Epic rarity (purple), so it’s not as easy to find as some other weapons on the island. But hey, that just makes my victories feel even sweeter!

It’s quite likely that Fortnite may reduce the power of this recently introduced item soon, given its current impact on the battlefield. So, make sure to try it out before any potential changes, just in case!

As a seasoned gamer, I can tell you why the shield stands out as an exceptional weapon – because it’s no stranger to the game. If memory serves me right, that iconic shield of Captain America made its debut in Fortnite way back during Chapter 1, specifically during the epic Avengers event.

At the debut screening of Avengers: Infinity War, Fortnite temporarily added a game mode allowing players to battle using Captain America’s shield and an array of Marvel-themed weaponry.
