Fortnite Fans Compare Captain America’s Shield to the Ballistic Shield
Many fans are also comparing Captain America’s Shield to the oldFortniteBallistic Shield, an Epic weapon that was introduced in Chapter 5 Season 1. Both weapons are able to block incoming attacks, but the Ballistic Shield includes a Pistol that fires projectiles without first shot accuracy. Meanwhile, some are convinced that Captain America’s Shield is a remodeled version of the Ballistic Shield.
Captain America’s Shield (Chapter 5 Season 4)
Shield Toss deals 60 damage, and protects players from incoming attacks.
Ballistic Shield (Chapter 5 Season 1)
It allows players to block attacks and includes a pistol that deals good damage using light bullets.
This isn’t the first time thatFortnitefans have expressed their frustrations over an overpowered weapon. Previously, theycriticized the Shockwave Hammer for being too strong, and the Kamehameha from theDragon Ballcollaboration event because it could instantly kill opponents. Developer Epic Games has addressed these issues by vaulting the weapons, and making sure to nerf the weapons if they’re returning toFortnite. However, many fans still feel that these strong weapons can cause battle royale matches to become imbalanced.
Apart from Captain America’s Shield,FortniteChapter 5 Season 4 has other exciting weaponsthat fans should try out, such as War Machine’s Auto Turret and the Striker AR. These special weapons will allow players to feel like Marvel superheroes in their battle royale matches.
