How to get Shield Bubble Jr. in Fortnite

Like most items in the game, you can find the Shield Bubble Jr. amongst Fortnite’s common loot pool either in chests, supply drops, or on the ground.

You can also purchase the item from an NPC or supply drones to equip it in your inventory.

How to use the Shield Bubble Jr. item

If the name sounds familiar, it’s because the Shield Bubble Jr. is a smaller version of the Shield Bubble item. To use it, simply equip it and throw it down, which deploys a shield that counters projectiles and explosives for 30 seconds.

Bear in mind that players can run through the bubble and destroy its emitter, so it’s not a counter to everything. Although it can withstand those Thunderbolts of Zeus if you see someone hurling them towards you.
