Unable to find your healing shields in the new chapter? Apparently, you are not the only one. The new Chapter of Fortnite went live yesterday, and it has certainly reunited all the hardcore tactical shooter fans to reminisce about the glory days of Fortnite. However, exploring the OG island without a shield is a risk not every player would enjoy. So, what’s going on with the shielding essential in the latest Epic Games adventure update? 

Ever since the developers announced the return of Chapter 1 maps and other OG features, fans were ready for a heavy dose of nostalgia. Although the new chapter has seemingly impressed the community, an item’s scarcity has invited some heat. The frustrated fans have taken the matter under scrutiny over the internet as they call this essential “impossible to find” in the new season. 

Slurp Juice is not common in the OG Fortnite! 

Slurp Juice is a very popular choice for shielding and healing. Its popularity has even surpassed the use of Ocean’s Bottomless Chug Jug which started off as the fan-favorite pick for healing. But the tables seem to have turned for the homecoming season. The struggle of not finding enough slurp juices in the new season has left the fans furious. 

This juice heals the players for 240 HP over a period of 20 seconds. The item stack counts to 2 and with each second, the player gets 12HP. The availability had been quite consistent for the potion in the last few upgrades of Fortnite. However, after the latest launch, the chug jug might be on the road to get back to its impact in the game. 

Veteran Fortnite players might recall Ocean’s Bottomless Chug Jug, which gave full health and shield in just 15 seconds. However, after it got vaulted in Season 2, the slurp juice became a more popular choice. Now, are the fans heading back to another old habit because Epic Games’ OG season isn’t too kind for the players seeking for Slurp juice? 

Fans express their disappointment

The scarcity of slurp juices ignited plenty of discussions on social media. Certainly, a lot of fans feel the item should be made more accessible. Here are some of the angry reactions from the community.

Almost 5 years ago, in a similar case, Shields were hard to find. In a season 7 stream back then, Nickmercs had taken to Twitch to explain that there were no shields because “they took it out.” Similarly, this time, a user has complained that the shields are “impossible to find.”

History repeats. In a tweet dating back to January 2019, the streamer who goes by HighDistortion tweeted, “It’s literally almost impossible to find shields in the game right now.” Now, a player has found themself in a similar situation.

Another user claims that the struggles to find the items were a reason they lost plenty of games. 

On the contrary, a fan believes the rareness makes the OG world more challenging and an edge-of-the-seat experience. 

As speculated, the chug jugs are set to be popular again as they are easy to find in the new season.
