New to Fortnite? Learn all about Consumables! From Bandages to Slurp Juice, we break down how they heal Health and Shield, and give you temporary buffs. Essential info for every player!

Alright, let's talk about keeping yourself in the fight! In Fortnite, you'll find tons of items called Consumables. Think of them as your go-to for getting back into the action, either by restoring your Health and Shield or by giving you a temporary boost to your stats. Most of these get used up when you use them, hence the name! How They Work Basically, you use a consumable to either top off your Health, get some Shield, or gain a temporary buff, like moving faster or even messing with gravity. Just remember, you'll need to stand still for a short bit while you use them. The effect might be instant, or it might happen over time. Keep an eye out, though! Sometimes the game calls things 'consumables' even if they don't technically get used up. You can usually tell by their description if they're a bit different. Where to Find Them You can snag these goodies from all over the island: popping open Chests, finding them as Floor Loot, or even by [foraging](https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Foraged_Items "Foraged Items") or fishing "Fishing (Battle Royale)").
