Fortnite’s latest content update gives players a new Shockwave Grenade that launches them to epic distances and even through structures.

When players use the Shockwave Grenade, they will not take fall damage, either. This also applies to enemies and vehicles as well. The item can also knock back players and annihilate objects in their way.

Players can find the Shockwave Grenade in chests, supply drops, llamas, and vending machines. The epic item drops in stacks of two and a maximum of six.
