The latest Fortnite season is now here and players can hop into the second major Marvel season in the battle royale game’s history. With the return of superheroes to Fortnite, players are now able to get Captain America’s shield once again in Chapter 5 Season 4.
Where to Get Captain America’s Shield in Fortnite Season 4
Captain America’s Shield is one of the few Mythic-rarity weapons available in this latest season of battle royale. Surprisingly, though, it is the only one where players can find it literally anywhere on the island. Despite its immense rarity, you can find it on the ground or through treasure chests anytime and anywhere.
Of course, while this sounds great due to its flexibility, it also means you have to deal with RNG. Unlike the other powers that are a bit more guaranteed in certain spots, you’ll have to hope the RNG divinity shines down on you. Your best bet is to open up as many treasure chests as you can.
How Captain America’s Shield Works
Once you get Captain America’s Shield in Fortnite, you’ll find it works a bit differently than its original incarnation back in the first Marvel battle royale season. It has a couple of mechanics available to it, including throwing the shield, slashing at foes with it in melee range, and even blocking with it.
What’s new to the shield is the shield charge, which allows you to charge up before using it for a more powerful and deadly attack. In addition, you can now also block using the shield while you are sliding and jumping in battles. This shield can pretty much block all guns in the game so it can be a valuable but risky tool.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 is available for free right now for Android, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
