The Shockwave Hammer is a melee weapon and one of the new additions that came with Fortnite Chapter 4, Season One. In the wake of that, players jumping into Fortnite's new chapter want to know how to get their hands on the Shockwave Hammer.
How to get the Shockwave Hammer
In Chapter 4, you can find Shockwave Hammer on the ground, as it is available in the common loot pool. Moreover, you will also find it in Loot Chests and the newly added, Oathbound Chests that randomly spawn in POIs.
Other than that, you can also find and defeat The Ageless Champion boss at The Citadel POI to obtain the Shockwave Hammer.
The Oathbound Chests, in particular, is a great option if you are looking for items added with the Chapter 4, Season One update.
Therefore, if you want to avoid strolling around and wasting your time finding the Shockwave Hammer, we recommend you look for the Oathbound Chests at:
- The Citadel
- Anvil Square
- Shattered Slabs
On the same note, remember that most players will be looking for the Oathbound Chests at POIs, so either be prepared to engage in battle, jump at a POI that is not a hot drop, or jump near the area with yellow trees; they often have the Oathbound Chests.
How to use the Shockwave Hammer in Fortnite
Once you have acquired the Shockwave Hammer, you can use it in two ways. When you are up close, you can use it to hit an opponent to deal 75 damage while sending them flying away from you.
On the other hand, you can use the alternate fire button to launch yourself into the sky with no fall damage. Do you know what's best? When you combine these two uses and use the Shockwave Hammer creatively during multiplayer matches.
You can use the Shockwave Hammer alternate fire to close in on enemies, and then when you are in mid-air, on top of your opponent, use the fire button to perform a slam attack to deal massive damage while launching enemies away.
This is just a single scenario that we talked about. You can go full creative with the Shockwave Hammer once you obtain it from the above-listed options.
