- — In-Game Description
The Shield Potion is a Rare Consumable Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced to Battle Royale in Pre-Season, and the reworked in Chapter 5: Season 1.
Functionality[]
The Shield Potion takes 1 second to start the healing process and is automatically removed from the player's inventory upon activation. While healing, the Shield Potion takes 4 seconds to add up to 50 Shield, at a rate of 4 to 10 Shield per 0.5s. Healing will stop early if the player's shield reaches its maximum limit. Interrupting the healing process will not restore the Shield Potion, and the player will keep the amount of Shield already added. The Shield Potion cannot be used at full shield. It can be used while moving.
Shield Potions can be thrown by holding the Aim button and using the projectile arc to guide them. Once landed it will ping its location to squad-mates.

| Chest | Floor Loot | Supply Drop | Supply Llama |

Strategy Guide[]
- Always drink Small Shield Potions before drinking regular Shield Potions, as those can be used to get to max shield, but not vice versa. However, if you are in possession of two Shield Potions and no Small Shield Potions, it is easier to just consume both Shield Potions than look for small ones.
- When in a build fight, use the Small Shield Potions rather than the Shield Potion. The enemy could easily eliminate you.
