Fortnite players discover OP bunker strategy using Captain America\u2019s shield Epic GamesCaptain America\u2019s shield is essential to a new Fortnite bunker strategy that players are calling way too overpowered. Fortnite Chapter 5\u2019s Absolute Doom season added several Marvel-themed items to the loot pool, including Captain America\u2019s primary weapon. In addition to blocking incoming damage, the shield also be thrown around to deal devastating blows to enemies. The weapon\u2019s lock-on ability and nearly impossible-to-block attacks have the Fortnite community already calling for a nerf. Helping their case is the discovery of a so-called \u201cbunker strategy\u201d that players on the wrong side of the shield have trouble escaping. Instagram user Penitentefn_ shared footage of the strategy, which involves a shield bearer camping near a bunker. When an unsuspecting team enters to collect loot and upgrade their gear, the shield user stands outside the entrance and throws Cap\u2019s weapon inside. The shield will bounce around the bunker\u2019s walls, locking onto nearby foes repeatedly until they all die or find a way to escape the attack. Responses to the Instagram post show many players aren\u2019t pleased that such a strategy is possible. Reads one comment, \u201cThis is why this game is trash.\u201d Another person wrote, \u201cThis is so f**ked.\u201d TikToker wrizzyfps uploaded a similar video on their account, highlighting Fortnite\u2019s new shield-centric bunker strategy. The poster said they hope Epic will nerf the shield. Others chimed in and claimed they successfully employed the same strategy against opponents: \u201cWe thrashed a team of four down there. This is real.\u201d Outside of the shield being OP, the core problem is that the bunker has no safe place to hide. It\u2019s an open area with a few scattered boxes on which Captain America\u2019s shield can easily ricochet. Epic hasn\u2019t addressed complaints about the shield as of yet, but many Fortnite fans agree that a nerf is a must.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
