[Fortnite X Mayhem] Fortnite new item Shield Bubble coming in v10.20 update (patch notes and more)

This item was not present in the files previously, so we don’t know how Shield Bubble will work? However, you can make an educated guess based on the item’s name. The Shield Bubble will act as a protective layer for the players.

To use the shield bubble, players will have to throw it like chug splash. The item will activate a protective layer or bubble around the player for a specific period which will deflect and absorb the damage from incoming explosives and other projectile-based weapons.

The bubble is likely to burst out after absorbing some specific damage. We will get to know more about this item when the update arrives today. The update will also bring in some map changes to Paradise Palms where the Rift Beacon is activated. The things that are likely to come along with Fortnite update v.10.20 have been listed below.
 
The upcoming v10.20 update is likely to include the following:
 
●    New skins and cosmetics.
●    Map changes.
●    Weapon and item balancing.
●    Changes to UI, sounds, and so forth.

Fortnite Paradise Palms location is expected to go under some significant changes as the Rift beacon is activated at that location. We can also see the return of Moisty Mire in the upcoming update. As in Fortnite Season 10, many old locations have returned to the game, including Dusty Depot and Factories.

Amid this update, Epic Games has also touted another crossover event for the game in an official tweet. Today, Epic Games has teased an artwork which has a mosaic-style Borderland character. This means we can see a crossover event between Borderland and Fortnite in the coming few days.

For a quick refresher, Fortnite Season 10 went live on August 1, 2019, and it brought many new items to the game, including the controversial Brute vehicle which has been nerfed in the August 22 update. We can also see some more balancing coming for Brute in the upcoming update v10.20.

Fortnite v10.20 patch notes have arrived which have revealed all the details regarding the new item Shield Bubble. Mentioned below are all the stats for the new item.
