The Shockwave Hammer was introduced to the vibrant battle royale during Season 1 of Chapter 4, alongside a whole new map, support for Unreal Engine 5, and more. The item can be found in chests or grabbed from a couple of specific NPC’s during a match, and makes traversal across the map much easier.
It’s also useful for quickly destroying buildings or items, and in a pinch, can be used to hammer an opponent halfway across the area while dealing some damage. It’s currently common to see the final surviving players battle it out using hammers to their advantage, making them harder targets to hit. The item has a long cooldown after being used four times, however, stopping it from being too overpowered.
