Fortnite: Where to Find Shadow Bombs and Shield Bubbles

As players await Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 4 in the coming weeks, there is plenty to enjoy in the game now, like unvaulted weapons. If you missed them or never got the chance to use them, both Shadow Bombs and Shield Bubbles return to Fortnite. It is necessary to find and use these thanks to new challenges in the game. So, if you want to complete these challenges or simply have fun with these classic defensive items, we will help you track them down.

Finding Shadow Bombs and Shield Bubbles in Fortnite

It never hurts to find quicker ways to gain XP in Fortnite. Completing challenges is an effective way to go about this. Thankfully, Fortnite is not shy about switching things up for players for that fast XP boost. Now, you get to embark on the Shadow of Phantasm Quests. Both Shield Bubbles and Shadow Bombs play a vital role in completing some of these new Fortnite challenges. So, it is important to track them down.

The now-unvaulted Shield Bubbles and Shadow Bombs are labeled as “Rare” and “Uncommon,” respectively. As such, they are not impossible to track down, but not always a guarantee. Still, you want to check chests, ground loot, and Supply Drops. All three of these avenues can help you obtain these items.

How to Use Shadow Bombs and Shield Bubbles in Fortnite

For the Shadow Bomb, throw it beneath you, and a dark cloud will briefly cover you. When using it, you can vault off and double jump walls. Your speed is increased too. This only lasts for a few seconds, however.

Just like the Shadow Bomb, you throw the Shield Bubble in Fortnite to use it. However, this throws more like a grenade. It provides a transparent dome shield that blocks both incoming and outgoing fire. The only thing that can pierce it is a Kamehameha blast. Also, it can come down if the item itself is attacked. Otherwise, it naturally comes down after 30 seconds.
