How to gain shields with Jelly Beans
Interact with candy buckets and they will drop candy. There's a chance that Jelly Beans will drop, and when they do just pick them up and use them like a consumable. You'll need to have less than full shields to count towards the challenge.
Once you've gained shield using Jelly Beans, you'll earn 15k XP. This will also count towards your Fortnitemares quest progress, which will grant rewards once you've completed a certain amount.
While you are here, there are several other Fortnitemare challenges you can complete - including Terrifying Tablatures and defeating the Inkquisitor.
