Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 began last month, bringing several new additions for players to check out. The game’s latest chapter introduced a new melee weapon in the form of the Shockwave Hammer. The hammer has made for a powerful new tool, but a glitch has been discovered that allows players to endlessly bounce, making it quite overpowered! It seems Epic Games is trying to rectify that, as the weapon has been disabled. Fortnite insiders @ShiinaBR and @HYPEX are under the impression that the weapon will return to the game following a hotfix on January 10th, but Fortnite players will have to make do without it in the meantime.
There will be a short downtime in 14 hours from now in which Epic Games will fix a few problems that players are currently experiencing.The Shockwave Hammer will most likely get unvaulted again after this downtime is over.(This is NOT v23.20, but only a small hotfix)
