Fortnite was a revolution for the industry, as it brought Battle Royale to a much more general audience . But although it is a modern game in every sense of the word, the truth is that it maintains some gameplay elements that are more typical of classic proposals . For example, in the way we heal ourselves, which has nothing to do with Call of Duty . Here, either we use a first aid kit, or the diminished life will never recover . In this article we tell you how to recover life and health in the game.
Life and health in Fortnite
First of all, it is necessary to mention that Fortnite Battle Royale offers players different ways to control their health and stay alive as the match progresses. To start with, the game has two very different bars: the life bar , which is 100 points; and the shield bar , which allows you to add another 100 additional points, as in many FPS .
And as we were saying, when we lose those points, there is no automatic restoration. Therefore, we will have to comb the scenarios well to find the different objects that allow us to restore both bars. Once we have them in our possession, we will only have to assign them a place in the quick inventory and then press the assigned key to consume them. Depending on the object, it takes more or less time to consume it, being more or less exposed to the enemy.
Items to recover life in Fortnite
Today we’ll tell you how many of these items there are and what each of them does. To do this, we’ll start with those that will restore hit points . In total, we have four such items scattered across the maps:
- Bandages : They usually appear in groups of five and each bandage restores 15 health points up to a maximum of 75 health points per game. Each bandage takes 4 seconds to use, at which point we will not be able to move.
- Slurps : With a slurp you restore 75 health points. And if your health is at full, all (or the rest) of it will go to the shield.
- Health Packs – Each pack restores your health to full. It takes 10 seconds to consume them
- Plasma Canisters : Not only restores all health , but also increases the shield to the maximum

Now it’s the turn of those who only restore the shield bar :
- Shield potions : These are hard to find, but they allow you to increase the shield ‘s capacity . In fact, they add a second shield bar that can reach, at most, 100 points (in total we can have 200). In any case, each of these potions will give us 50 shield points. And it will take 5 seconds to consume them.
- Small Shield Potions – These are similar to Bandages, but for the shield. They appear in packs of three and restore 25 shield points. However, the maximum they can restore in a match is 50 points. They take only 2 seconds to consume.

How about a mixed healing ration ?
- Slurp Juices : Fortnite also has an item called Slurp Juice that allows you to add 25 health points and 25 shield points simultaneously. In addition, life will regenerate over time (1 point every second). Therefore, it is ideal for combining it with bandages, to try to reach maximum life. It will only take 2 seconds to consume them.
Healing in Fortnite with hot springs
Finally, it’s worth noting that Epic added hot springs to the Battle Royale island a while back . That means you can bathe in them to regain health . However, to do that you’ll first need to find the hot springs. Luckily, all the springs are always in Steamy Springs . Once you find a spring, all you need to do to heal yourself is jump in the water and stay inside.
