Fortnite Shield Keg: Where To Find The Shield Keg
Shield Kegs are rare items, so they might not be as frequently appearing as you might hope - however, you're not going to have to stay in one area to find them. You can find the Shield Keg in loot chests all over the map, as well as having a high likelihood of appearing in supply drops. Its rarity is similar to that of the Shield Potion, so feel free to take it in place of those.
Alternatively, if you're itching to give the item a go right out of the gate, there are a couple of NPCs who will sell them to you in exchange for some gold bars. Lt. John Llama and The Scientist will gladly part with some of their own, with them being stationed to the southwest of Logjam Lumberyard and West of Sanctuary respectively.
