Captain America’s Shield can drop from any chest in Fortnite, and Avenger Chests have a higher chance of dropping the item. However, there’s one guaranteed way to secure the weapon in your inventory.

Captain Jonesy an NPC you should visit on the map. He’s located northwest of the Nitrodome. When you visit Captain Jonesy, one of the services available from the Fortnite x Marvel mash-up character is an Epic quality Captain America Shield.

However, it costs 300 Gold every time, so ensure you’re building an ample supply. The best way to gather Gold is to eliminate enemy players, search chests, and search ATMs on the map.

Captain America’s Shield has three abilities, and the best way to eliminate an enemy with the Shield is to throw it. Using the standard fire button, throw the Shield at an enemy and wait for it to return to you, then repeat the process.

With an Epic-quality Captain America’s Shield, each hit dishes out around 60 damage. You can also charge at an enemy by holding down the Sprint button (LS on Xbox and PlayStation, Left Shift on PC).
