What is the Shield Bubble Feature?

Shield Bubbles allows players to create a shield that can block different explosives and projectiles. So, with this feature, you can protect your character from enemy fire and major fall damage. It is enabled and works well on the computer and mobile devices. Shield Bubbles are rare throwable items that you can find in Vending Machines, Supply Drops, and Floor Loots. The effect lasts for 30 seconds. 

The new abilities and traits that you gained with the Shield Bubble:

  • The players can run through the Shield;
  • You can fire the projectiles and explosives only inside the bubble, not outside;
  • Bubble Emitter has 400HP. 

Shield Bubble is a very powerful feature that opens the door to new opportunities. But as with all rare and powerful weapons, you need to use it wisely and only in cases of necessity. In the next section, we want to tell you about some interesting tricks that you can do with Shield Bubble. 

How to Create a Shield Bubble?

If you think that you can create and use Shield Bubble to counter the BRUTes, you are wrong. One of the videos posted on FortniteBR subreddit shows a strategy that combines new Shield Bubbles with another item, and, as a result, creates a moving protective dome. We think that it is one of the best illustrations of how to create and use the Shield Bubble feature. 

In this video, Niccorazi, Redditor, showed how he could throw the Shield Bubble onto his ally that previously wore a bush. Yes, you can wear the bush to walk around with the Bubble. Why? It’s just a bug of the game that is fully deployed and even mobile. As a result, the Trio had the opportunity to move with a protective dome surrounding them. We do not know how fast the developers fix it so now you can freely use it. But there are several things that you should always keep in mind:

  • The enemies can run to the dome; 
  • The shield’s protection lasts only 30 seconds. 

Shields Bubble Fortnite Tips and Tricks

The Shield Bubbles is an excellent defensive weapon in many cases. But as it is rare items, we advise you to use them wisely. Our team defines two cases that suit the most for leveraging powerful Bubbles:

  • Providing cover during the teammate’s rezzing
  • Countering Rocket Launchers. 

The first use case allows you to cover downed allies with a shelter that protects from external damage. But be cautious, as it is not working in all cases: this method suits the most if the opponent is attacking from mid to long-range. 

In the second case, we advise you to use Shield Bubble when the enemy is attacking with explosive weapons like rocket launchers. This method requires practice because you need to deploy Bubbles on the right distance.
