  • Orcdezon1 Orcdezon (@Orcdezon1) reported

    So, just played the new season of Fortnite. But there’s one problem, I can’t find shields. Did Fortnite lowered the chances of finding shields or something? Because I opened more than 20 chests and can’t find any shields. Hopefully Fortnite fixes this soon…
