How to Get the Shockwave Hammer in Fortnite

The controversial Shockwave Hammer has made a temporary return to Fortnite as part of the 14 Days of Summer for 2025 event! This potent melee and mobility item from Chapter 4, though previously vaulted for good reason, is back for a limited time. The Shockwave Hammer is excellent for both aggressive pushes and quick escapes, but finding it requires a bit of luck.This item is available as part of Day 4 of Fortnite's 14 Days of Summer event. Players aiming to earn 5,000 XP and complete all active quests will need to acquire and use it within its 24-hour availability window. The Shockwave Hammer is specifically available from June 27, 10 AM ET to June 28, 10 AM ET. (This information indicates the event has already concluded as of the current date, June 29, 2025).

How to Get the Shockwave Hammer in Fortnite

Acquiring the Shockwave Hammer relies heavily on RNG (Random Number Generation), especially given its short availability window.3 However, some Points of Interest (POIs) offer better chances due to a higher concentration of loot.Here are some reliable spots to search for the Shockwave Hammer:

• Utopia City: Known for its abundance of chests and floor loot, making it a good starting point for general scavenging.
• Supernova Academy: Features a secret loot room, which can yield high-tier items.
• Demon's Dojo: Offers plentiful floor loot; this is where the Shockwave Hammer was reportedly found.
• West of Crime City (by the abandoned train): This location is notable for its Rare Chest spawns, which have a higher chance of containing rarer items.

With a high concentration of chests and floor loot in these areas, players should be able to find the Shockwave Hammer without too much pressure, even with the timed quest. Simply loot one spot, grab a vehicle, and move to the next until you find one.

How to Use the Shockwave Hammer in Fortnite

Once you've found a Shockwave Hammer, you'll likely need to use it tocomplete associated quests, such as knocking back opponents.

Knockback 2 Opponents with the Shockwave Hammer:

This objective is easily accomplished by:

• Melee Attack: Using R2/RT/Left-Click while holding the Shockwave Hammer. As a melee weapon, you need to be in relatively close range to your opponent. A successful hit will send the enemy flying back with a shockwave effect and deal 75 damage.
• Targeting NPCs: The safest way to complete this quest is to head to Demon's Dojo or any active Spire. The quest objective counts when used against Demon Guards and other hostile NPCs, which are far less threatening than engaging actual players who might be using long-range weapons.

Mobility:

Beyond its offensive capabilities, the Shockwave Hammer is also a powerful mobility tool:

• Using L2/LT/Right-Click allows players to bounce the hammer and launch themselves into the air.
• It has 3 charges, with 1 charge regenerating every 20 seconds, enabling quick repositioning to either close in on opponents or escape danger.
