Shockwave Grenade: The Shockwave Grenade launches players into the air. All you need to do is toss this grenade at anyone who’s wielding the shield and watch them get tossed into the air. When they’re up, shoot any part that is exposed, and you will have dealt damage.

Cluster Clinger: The Cluster Clinger is a new item in the game. When thrown on the ground, it releases a few projectiles that deal a certain amount of damage. If you have this in your inventory, then you could throw it on the shield itself or on the ground in front of the shield and watch the explosives work their magic.

Shooting: In case you didn’t already guess it, you can actually shoot your way out of this encounter. The Ballistic Shield in Fortnite covers your enemy completely, but their toes are exposed. If you can aim and shoot at their toes, you can deal damage without having to worry about the shield.

Flanking the enemy: This trick will work only if you have teammates with you. The Ballistic Shield just protects the enemy from one side, but it leaves the three other sides exposed. So if you have someone to flank them, it won’t be a threat to you anymore.
