Several additional adjustments were made by Epic Games as part of the January 2023 Fortnite Update, including the elimination of numerous Christmas-themed goods. Guardian Shield is one of the new features, and when employed properly, it offers a new level of strategy. This Fortnite guide will explain where to find the Guardian Shield and how it functions. To use the Guardian Shield, players must have enough Fortnite V-BUCKS on their account. Players can find it by running around areas of the map that are home to castles.
 
Where to find Guardian Shields
The new Oathbound Chests, which are big, white chests that are simple to recognize and may be found in or next to castle-like structures in the yellow section of the map, are the greatest place to discover the Guardian Shield. Your best bet is to go to locations where Guardian Shields frequently spawn, such as The Citadel, Breakwater Bay, or the Shattered Slabs, as they don't always drop in chests.
 
There is no assurance that the Guardian Shield will activate the Oath Chest, despite the fact that this is the most likely method of finding one. Visit places with more possible Oathound Chest spawning if you want to enhance your chances of discovering Guardian Shields. Some of the finest landing spots in Fortnite this season can be found at places with names like Breakwater Bay, Castle, and Broken Slabs, where you can find a ton of Pledge Chests and Guardian Shields.
 
How to use Guardian Shield
When utilized, Fortnite's Guardian Shield expands into a sizable blue rectangular shield in front of the user, or it can be tossed to the ground for stationary cover. The primary purpose is to enable you to use the proper trigger to deflect enemy gunfire, grenades, and rockets. The green bar to the right of the item's icon in the item list serves as a reminder that blocking does use up the shield's energy. You must be conscious of the fact that it charges when using it.
 
Once the Guardian Shield is equipped and in your inventory, you may either toss it by pressing Primary Fire once or by holding down the Primary Fire button to open the shield in front of you. To make a stationary barrier that is better at deflecting enemy fire, you can also throw things down. Don't forget to pick it up after you're finished.
 
In your inventory, you'll see a green bar to the right of the Guardian Shield emblem. This is the Guardian Shield's resilience. The guardian shield can only withstand so much harm before the durability bar snaps and you are unable to utilize it any longer. The shield will regain usability after a ten-second cooldown, but it will take some time for its durability to fully regain itself. When the Guardian Shield itself begins to flash purple and blue, you know it is going to burst.
 
That completes the location and operation of the Guardian Shield in Fortnite. Fortnite Top Up can assist gamers in finding it.
