As a dedicated Fortnite veteran with seasons of experience under my belt, I know how crucial healing items like medkits, shield potions, and bandages are for weekly challenges. Introduced in Season 0, these staples are plentiful but strategic to locate and use effectively.
This guide breaks down med kit locations, item stats, and tips to ace challenges like throwing a medkit, bandage, or shield potion while sliding (3 times).
The Medkit is an uncommon consumable that fully restores health to 100 (shields unaffected) over 10 uninterrupted seconds. It can't be used at full health. Drops in stacks of 1 (max 3) from floor loot, chests, supply drops, llamas, and vending machines.
Pro tip: Hold the aim button to throw it, arcing the projectile to teammates—it pings the landing spot for easy pickup.
Shield Potions are uncommon consumables added in Season 0, granting +50 shields (up to 100 max). Availability by source:
| Chest | Floor Loot | Supply Drop | Supply Llama |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18.6% | 20.3% | 18.8% | 18.6% |
Bandages are common heals for +15 health each (max 75 health). Stack with Medkits or Slurp Juice to reach full HP.
