- — In-Game Description
The Shield Potion is a Consumable Item in Fortnite OG that was introduced in OG Chapter 1: Season 1.
Functionality
Functionality[]
The Shield Potion takes 1 second to start the healing process and is automatically removed from the player's inventory upon activation. While healing, the Shield Potion takes 4 seconds to add up to 50 Shield, at a rate of 4 to 10 Shield per 0.5s. Healing will stop early if the player's shield reaches its maximum limit. Interrupting the healing process will not restore the Shield Potion, and the player will keep the amount of Shield already added. The Shield Potion cannot be used at full shield. It can be used while moving.
Shield Potion adds 4 to 10 Shield per tick, up to 50 Shield. Each tick takes 0.5s.
The amount healed per tick increases after a predetermined amount of ticks.
It will add 4 Shield in the first 3 ticks, then 6 Shield in the next 2 ticks, 8 Shield in the next 2 ticks, and 10 Shield in the final tick.
Shield Potions can be thrown by holding the Aim button and using the projectile arc to guide them. Once landed it will ping its location to squad-mates.

This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Always drink Small Shield Potions before drinking regular Shield Potions, as those can be used to get to max shield, but not vice versa. However, if you are in possession of two Shield Potions and no Small Shield Potions, it is easier to just consume both Shield Potions than look for small ones.
- When in a build fight, use the Small Shield Potions rather than the Shield Potion. The enemy could easily eliminate you.
