Shockwave Grenade Returns to Fortnite

Epic Games unvaults Chapter 1 mobility item for Fortnite 3
by Tit Krajnik on June 16, 2023   

As revealed on Thursday, June 15, a popular Fortnite Chapter 1 mobility item has been unvaulted. Shockwave Grenade, which was added to the game with a 5.30 content update and vaulted with Patch 11.00, was re-added as one of many items Epic Games decided to re-introduce with Chapter 4 Season 3.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 has introduced plenty of content and new items, from new unique weapons, including Wildwasp Jars and Cybertron Canon, to re-adding some fan favorite items, such as Raptors. However, the overall response to the new season was mixed, mainly because the community felt like the game lacked mobility.
 


When Fortnite WILDS started, two major mobility items, including Spider-Verse Web-Shooters and ODM Gear, got valued, and not long before, the Kinetic Blade was also taken out of the game. But despite removing three important mobility items, Fortnite didn’t add any replacements, leaving players with few options to move around the map as fast as they would’ve liked.

However, this issue was recently addressed with the promise that we will see some improvements regarding mobility. As confirmed by the official Fortnite Twitter account, Shockwave Grenade will return to the game with a 25.10 update.

It’s unclear when the update will go live but knowing that Fortnite usually releases patches on Tuesday, the Shockwave Grenade will likely be re-added to the game on June 20. But it’s worth noting that the Shockwave Grenade will only be available in the Zero Build mode and not in the Battle Royale games - for now.

Some players who prefer to play a game without too many mobility options likely won’t be too happy with the introduction of Shockwave Grenades; however, the item has proven to be very balanced. Even though Shockwave Grenades can be extremely powerful, players must collect many of them to travel long distances.

Shockwave Grenades might not be the only mobility itemtol be re-added to the game. According to recent leaks, the Grapple Glove might be introduced to Fortnite soon; however, there’s no official confirmation yet.
