Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 Week 4 quests have gone live, and one of them requires you to use a shield breaker EMP grenade to disable a moving vehicle. The Shield Breaker EMP Grenade is an item in Fortnite that disables electronic devices such as turrets or cars and deals damage to shields.

Shield breaker EMP grenades can also be used to disable moving vehicles to hunt down the enemies inside. If you're struggling to find and use it to disable a moving vehicle, we've got you covered with an easy way to complete this Fortnite challenge.

The Shield Breaker EMP Grenade is the newest addition to the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 loot pool. Here's where you can find them:

  • Chests and Heist Bags: You can find the Shield Breaker EMP Grenades in all the usual spots, including Chests and Heist Bags.
  • Floor Loot: They can also be found as Floor Loot.
  • Purchase from NPC: Additionally, you can purchase the Grenade from the "Mae" non-player character (NPC) for 50 Gold.
  • New POIs on Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4's map: Since Heist Bags are restricted almost solely to the new POIs on Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4's map, your best bet is to search Sanguine Suites, Relentless Retreat, and Eclipsed Estate.

Remember, Shield Breaker EMP Grenades come in threes, and you can hold up to six per inventory slot.
