Fortnite is one of the most popular live service Battle Royale games out there. Its developer Epic Games has to keep things fresh by regularly adding new items and characters to it.

Sometimes players get awesome new skins to purchase or unlock. Other times, they get a bunch of new weapons and items to amplify the gameplay possibilities.

These new weapons and items sometimes open new ways for players to just exploit the game in numerous ways. That’s exactly what players are doing with the latest item added to Fortnite.

Is Fortnite Chapter 4’s Guardian Shield overpowered?

While epic games just keep on introducing new ideas to Fortnite, it is not always straightforward to get your hands on them. But once you get them, a pool of things is available for you to do.

For example, if you manage to open those Oathbound Chests and get yourself one of those shockwave hammers, you can easily spend the whole game just hopping like a bunny. Or if your whole team gets these hammers, you can even make a vehicle fly.

Similar is the case with the new augmentations, some augmentations such as chug cannon and jellyfish angler give players the ability to just get themselves enough backup health supplies to even survive in the storm.

This has allowed players to stretch the game way longer than it is supposed to last.

Finally, coming to today’s main culprit, the Guardian Shield. This hard-to-get shield is a unique item indeed. You can pick it up and carry it with you and no bullet will hurt you when it is open. You can place it on the ground and it would protect your whole team.

The best part is you can shoot your enemies from inside the shield. And when it is depleted, you just throw it down, and it recharges. We do not know how one can break the game with it, but it is overpowered indeed.
