Shield pots, minis, and chug splashes are all great items for increasing your shields in Fortnite, but there are other ways you can boost them as well. Sometimes, shield pots and minis can be hard to come by, especially if you don’t have time to stop and check chests in your run from the storm or between battles. There are foragable items, such as fruits and vegetables, that you can find growing around the map or in specific containers that will restore some of your shields as well. Here are some excellent spots to find them!

Coconuts

Coconuts are a rare foragable that can restore health or shield. If all your shields are diminished, and your health is slightly decreased, it will restore your health before applying the shield. If you want to eat the Coconut for shields, make sure you are full health.

The most common places to find Coconuts are palm trees, usually found along the beaches on the Eastern side of the map. To get them to fall from the trees, you have to hit them with your pickaxe. The Coconuts will fall out to the ground to be harvested or eaten.

Palm trees carrying Coconuts can be found in more significant volumes in these specific areas:

  • The beach Northeast of The Daily Bugle Cuddle Cruisers IslandLooper Landing IslandLaunchpad IslandThe beach East of Sanctuary The beach North of The JonesesThe Perch Shrouded Settlement

Mushrooms

Unlike the Coconuts, Mushrooms can only be used to restore some shield. They do not restore lost health, but either way, they make for a helpful defense against enemy players. Mushrooms can usually be found growing on the ground in darker, shrouded forest areas. You can eat them straight from their spawn spots or harvest them for later use.

These are some of the more concentrated Mushroom locations:

  • In the trees Northeast of Command Cavern In the forests Southeast of Camp Cuddle In the forests along the river Northeast of Greasy Grove In the forest near Power Towers In the trees near the gas station Southwest of Sanctuary In the forest surrounding The Joneses In the forest between Shrouded Settlement and Tow-Away Beach

Produce Boxes

Produce Boxes are another great way to find foragables, but there isn’t allows a guarantee of what you will find inside. They carry a random array of produce, meaning you can get all health foragables, shield foragables, or a mix of both, which is super helpful for a quick heal or shielding up at the beginning of the match.

Produce Boxes can usually be found in kitchens within houses, restaurants, stores, or gas stations. They look like little cardboard boxes and have veggie and fruit pictures displayed outside. Once you loot the box, the produce will fall out of it for you to harvest or eat.

These are the locations with a better chance of finding a significant amount of Produce Boxes:
