How to collect a sword and shield in Fortnite’s ‘A Peaceful Night’

Grab your sword and shield before fighting the evil zombies in Fortnite’s new creative map.

Trying to gain some extra XP by playing the new creative map in Fortnite titled "A Peaceful Night", a part of the Fortnite Playwave Island Series, but are having trouble locating the sword and shield? Do not worry, we have got you covered.

Here is how YOU can collect a sword and shield in Fortnite's A Peaceful Night; allowing you to fight off hordes of zombies.

Steps to gaining the sword and shield in Fortnite's 'A Peaceful Night'

The new creative map puts players in a nightmarish situation, making them fight off zombies in a small and dark bedroom, which later turns into much larger and scarier locations. Sounds like such a "peaceful night", right?

Do not worry though, the map allows players to fight off the zombies with a sword and shield. You will not be left defenseless. Grabbing the two items is also part of an in-game quest, allowing players to gain XP once the task is complete.

But how do you find a sword and shield?

Luckily, players are given a sword at the start of the game. So do not worry, you will not have to fight any of the zombies empty-handed.

So... how do you unlock the shield?

Steps to collecting a shield in Fortnite's A Peaceful Night:

  1. Fight off the first wave of zombies.
  2. A pile of boxes will appear; move them.
  3. Grab the shield lying beneath the boxes.

And there you have it, you now have the proper weapons and defense to fight off the zombies. As said in The Legend of Zelda: "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."
