The Shockwave Hammer was introduced during the recent transition into Fortnite Chapter 4<\/a> and was fairly popular among players thanks to its ability to help you traverse the map. But after some complaints about a glitch when using it, the popular weapon has been removed from the game. <\/span><\/p>\n

But not all is lost, as it appears the weapon will be returning to the game with the glitch patched out. So below, we’ll take a look at the Shockwave Hammers’ return to Fortnite and when it will be back in the game. <\/span><\/p>\n

When Will the Shockwave Hammer Come Back to Fortnite?<\/span><\/h2>\n

As mentioned previously, the Shockwave Hammer was introduced in the recent Chapter of Fortnite, Chapter 4. And while the weapon was well received for its ability to slam against the ground and hurl you across the map, letting you cover huge distances quickly, it wasn’t perfect. <\/span><\/p>\n

A glitch was discovered that allowed players to jump infinitely using the hammer by slamming it into the water, and when landing on the ground, you could jump indefinitely, earning the name “Infinite Hammer glitch.” Many fans were quick to point out how unfair it made some engagements and broke the balance of combat in the game. Players couldn’t target a player using this glitch easily as they moved too quickly, and when landing, the hammer dealt huge AOE (area of effect) damage. <\/span><\/p>\n
