I understand its kind of tricky since the piece is small and it blends in quite easily. The first spot is sitting on the right side of the big rock to your left when you spawn in. The second spot is on a tree on the opposite side of the water from spawn. The third and final spot is leaning against a pillar in the sand to your right when you spawn. Hope this helps :)

thanks man! I knew of the Tree location but it never lets me pick up the piece when its there

Yeah its kinda weird. You gotta sort of jump for it. I'll fix that real quick and send out an update.

lol there is literally no tree acrros from the water when you spawn...? where is this shield part thats "on" a tree??

There is in fact a tree across from spawn that has a potential shield part spot idk what you want me to say lol
