How to recover health ( Fortnite Guides )

How to recover health :

It's possible to recover health - or prevent taking damage in the first place - by making use of three different mechanics in the game:

Bandage: These drop in stacks of five and restore 15 points of health each. Try to have a few of these on you at all times, but bear in mind that these cannot heal you to maximum health - only to 75. 
Be careful not to waste these precious resources, but at the same time don't play too loose with your precious health if a fight is imminent!
 
Medkit: These suckers heal you up for 100 health. Note that you can only have three of these on you at any given time.
 
Mini Shield Potions: These are thin, blue tubes of juice that'll grant you 25 armour each. As they're smaller you can horde quite a number of them too, so make sure you keep a few in your inventory to top yourself up here and there.
 
Large Shield Potions: These are arguably the most important pick-ups in the game. These add a 50-point shield to your health bar. There's no damage-mitigation effect here, just an extra buffer to your standard health.
 
Slurp Juice: These are epic rarity equivalents of 1 Mini Shield Potion + 1 Bandage, except they restore 25 armour and health over a period of 25 seconds. Great for chugging just before a fight!
Chug-jug: These enormous kegs of juice take 15 seconds to down but restore both your health and shields to maximum.
