As one of Fortnite’s newest items, people are still unsure where to find them or how to use them.

Here’s everything you need to know about Guardian Shields and where to find them in Fortnite.

Fortnite: How to get find the Guardian Shield

Oathbound chests aren’t easy to find, but there is a trick that can help you locate them.

They can often be found around places of interest in the autumnal region in the western area of the map.

You can claim the region by standing near the flag for around a minute, though this will leave you vulnerable to attack.

If you manage it though you’ll be able to see every chest in the area, even those hidden behind walls.

Oathbound chests look different from normal chests, and have a white body with gold highlights.

When you loot, them you will get more resources than usual, and the chance to pick up a Guardian Shield too.

To use the Guardian Shield, make sure you have it in your hand, then throw it out in front of you.

The shield will spread out and block any and all oncoming bullets from that direction.

This will leave you free to change in and take down opponents without taking any damage.

However, the shield will wear out as it takes hits, and if it takes too much damage, it will disappear.

This week’s challenge requires you to block ten bullets with the shield, which shouldn’t be a problem if you find a couple of opponents.
