How to Use the Shockwave Hammer in Fortnite and Where to Find It

 You can count on exciting new weaponry to try out in every new Fortnite season, but the start of Chapter 4 Season 1 includes one of the most amazing ones ever. The new Shockwave Hammer is a melee weapon that deals substantial damage with each powerful stroke, although you probably won't choose it primarily for that purpose. Discover where to get this powerful tool and why you should carry it about with you by reading on.

How to use the Shockwave Hammer and where to locate it

Chests, the ground, and capture points—new domination-style sites that alter with each round—are all possible places to find the Shockwave Hammer. It is an Epic-quality item, making it rather rare; nevertheless, larger POIs with denser treasure pools make them more accessible. It's possible that they're more likely to be found inside of the new white and gold chests you'll encounter in select spots because we discovered them in two consecutive Oathbound Chests.

This enormous hammer can strike an opponent for 75 damage and fling them away from you, but you'll have to get right up on them to do it. However, if you can manage it, it may be a very valuable weapon for throwing adversaries down cliffs or into storms.

You may propel yourself into the air for placement by using the Shockwave Hammer.

The weapon's capacity to launch you away does appear to be its primary use, though. You may move forward by using the alternative fire button, which is helpful for gaining ground on an adversary team or, if required, retreating to a safer area. To prove to opposing squads that you mean business, you may even perform a slam strike after landing. It resembles a shockwave grenade but has offensive capabilities.

Each action uses one of the four charges available for the Shockwave Hammer. Be careful when using it and have backup weapons nearby because it takes around 15 seconds to regain a charge. This powerful but sluggish melee choice is best utilised as a tool for moving or for disassembling constructions, thus it shouldn't be your main weapon against rival teams.
