How to Get Captain America's Shield in Fortnite 

As a veteran gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Fortnite never fails to keep me entertained, especially when it comes to their Marvel crossovers. The latest Chapter 5 Season 4 is no exception, as Doctor Doom takes center stage and War Machine joins the fray.


For quite some time now, Fortnite has been celebrated for its Marvel collaborations, and with the arrival of Chapter 5 Season 4, the universe once again takes center stage. This season, Doctor Doom assumes the role of the primary adversary, while War Machine from the Avengers joins forces to oppose him. To emerge victorious in this battle, you’ll require potent weapons, among which is Captain America’s shield. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps on how to acquire it.

In the eighth season, debuting in February 2019, Captain America’s Shield initially only showed up in a single game format. However, it can currently be found in the Battle Royale mode, though there have been some modifications to its original form.

Where to Find and How to Get Captain America’s Shield in Fortnite

To obtain Captain America’s shield in Fortnite, simply locate and interact with the NPC named Captain Jones. He can be found at the Ship It! Station landmark to the northwest of the Nitrodrome arena, and he will sell you the weapon for 200 gold bars after a conversation.

In a new season, Gold Bars are restarted, which means you might not have enough of this currency currently. You can gather Gold Bars by defeating opponents or plundering safes, however, the most effective approach is to explore weapon storage areas during gameplay.

An alternative method for acquiring Captain America’s shield is by exploring Avenger’s Chests, these are large silver boxes with the Avengers emblem on them. Upon opening, they often contain one of a kind items. While it’s possible that the shield could also appear from regular chests, the probability is quite slim.

It’s suggested that you visit the newly highlighted spots, where you can find Doctor Doom’s Chests and Avengers Chests.

  • The Raft;
  • Doomstadt;
  • Castle Doom.

Note: The shield can also very rarely spawn just on the floor, like any other item.

How to use Captain America’s shield

The iconic shield of Captain America can be hurled at adversaries, causing harm, and then it returns to your grasp – much like firing a gun or tossing a grenade. However, remember that upon throwing, you become temporarily exposed to enemy fire since there’s nothing to safeguard yourself for brief moments. It’s advisable to execute this move from behind cover or concealed positions.

An alternate method for wielding Captain America’s shield in Fortnite involves propelling yourself forward by pressing the left joystick on your controller. This action causes you to dash towards opponents, knocking down anyone who crosses your path due to the extended shield. Apart from dealing damage, this tactic is ideal when you find yourself in a confined area and need to swiftly escape an enemy’s proximity, creating some distance between you.

Here are the main functions:

  1. Throw at enemies and structures to deal damage.
  2. Hit opponents while running.
  3. Block incoming damage. Especially useful against Mythic Arcane Doom Gloves.
