The Shield Bubble has quickly become one of the must-carry items in competitive Fortnite. Take a look at how to bring the bubble with you without needing a teammate.

The Shield Bubble is one of the more coveted items in competitive Fortnite. It's extremely useful for avoiding damage in late-game situations, and some unintended exploits let you use the bubble while you're on the move.

It's widely known that the Shield Bubble attaches to vehicles like the Drift Board and BRUTE, allowing you to move with the shield around you. More recently, players discovered the ability to attach the Bubble Shield to a teammate's bush.

You can also use the Shield Bubble to avoid fall damage by placing the shield and editing your structure - the same way the Snowman worked a few seasons ago.

Now, you can combine these two strategies - attaching the Shield Bubble to a bush and dropping the shield with edits - to create a mobile shield without needing a teammate.

You need a bush for this tactic to work, so it's relatively situational. Still, if you find yourself with a bush and Shield Bubbles in your inventory, you'll be able to get free rotations without anyone being able to shoot you.

If I were a betting man, I'd put money on Epic patching this in their next content update. Still, it's worth trying if you're grinding Solo Arena.
