Ninja rages after discovering secret shield \u2018nerf\u2019 in Fortnite Epic Games may have implemented a secret change to Fortnite Chapter 2 and Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2018 Blevins doesn\u2019t seem to be a fan \u2013 not at all. The popular Mixer streamer was playing his way through the battle royale game during a broadcast on November 12, dropping at several locations on the hunt for loot. However, it didn\u2019t take long for him to become completely exhausted during the stream after he was unable to find shields. Starting at Dirty Docks, he opened chest after chest only to be greeted by a bunch of unwanted pistols and he\u2019s drawn his own conclusion from the matter very quickly. Those who have been playing Fortnite since the beginning of Chapter 2 on October 15 will know that there\u2019s been a huge patch notes-shaped hole in every update that has been released ever since the new map arrived. There have been updates to the game\u2019s official Trello board here and there, allowing people to at least record some changes, but it appears \u2013 at least from Ninja\u2019s perspective \u2013 that the spawn rate of mini shields has been decreased without any announcement.

Timestamp in the video below at 0:45. Ninja added: \u201cLooting chest upon chest, upon chest, upon chest and getting no shield. There\u2019s only two shield items in the game.\u201d It didn\u2019t take long for the streamers to make light of the situation, though, as Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop joined and started to sing \u2018Where are the Shields\u2019 to the tune of \u2018Here Comes the Sun\u2019 by The Beatles. After a few more frustrating moments, CouRage asked: \u201cWait, so because there\u2019s no patch notes Tyler, do you think that they decreased the shield spawn rate this week?\u201d In truth, not many \u2013 if any \u2013 players have the answer to that question as they have not been informed of any tweaks with the v11.1 update, which went live on November 13.
