Fortnite: How to Get the Captain America Shield

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 marks the return of Marvel in a major way, providing players with a Marvel-themed Battle Pass and superhero-inspired locations and weapons. Players can explore Castle Doom in search of powerful Mythic items or roam Fortnite Island to find other heroic and Marvel-inspired gear.

While some Marvel-themed items are tied to specific locations — like Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets — others, such as Captain America’s Shield, are more widely available across the island. Captain America’s Shield, in particular, is a returning item, and it serves as an excellent counter to most ranged weapons. Yet, where is Captain America’s shield in Fortnite?

Captain America’s Shield is an Epic item that players can acquire either as ground loot or randomly in Chests. To increase the chances of finding this item, players should focus on looting Dr. Doom Chests or Avengers Chests, which are located within the Marvel-themed areas of this season.

However, Captain America’s Shield can also be found in nearly any Chest across Fortnite’s Battle Royale island. It can also be obtained by capturing the Loot Island, which offers players plenty of ways to get their hands on it.

For those looking for a more guaranteed way to secure this item, Captain America’s Shield can also be purchased from Captain Jones for 300 Gold Bars. Captain Jones can be found at Ship It! Station, just southeast of The Raft.
