Fortnite temporarily disables divisive Shockwave Hammer Epic GamesEpic Games has temporarily removed the Shockwave Hammer, a divisive weapon that launched alongside Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1. The Shockwave Hammer counted among the many new additions to the battle royale\u2019s fourth chapter. For some, it quickly became a fan favorite, too, thanks in large part to its two firing options. Its primary function allows players to slam the ground and damage nearby enemies with a shockwave. A secondary firing option lets users travel via consecutive hammer bounces. Not everyone\u2019s a fan of the fun new weapon, however. Some think it\u2019s OP, others feel like it often doesn\u2019t work as intended. But an infinite bounce glitch has especially caused problems of late. Shockwave Hammer in Fortnite temporarily vaulted Epic Games recently removed the Shockwave Hammer from all playlists in the online title. In a Twitter post announcing the news, the developer merely cited an unspecified \u201cissue\u201d as the reason for the weapon\u2019s vaulting. Players assume the aforementioned infinite bounce glitch constitutes the motivating factor, though Epic has yet to confirm as much. There\u2019s no word on the Shockwave Hammer\u2019s planned return date at the time of writing. However, the developer did note an intent to re-enable the weapon\u2019s use during Fortnite\u2019s \u201cnext game update.\u201d For now, all Fortnite users can do is hope the Shockwave Hammer\u2019s in better shape whenever it does rejoin the fun. Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 kicked off in December 2022, introducing a new map, weapons, and a Battle Pass featuring Doom Guy and The Witcher 3\u2019s Geralt of Rivia. Season 1 is expected to end in March, with Season 2 set to follow soon thereafter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
