- — In-Game Description
The Shockwave Grenade is an Utility Item in Fortnite OG that was added in OG Chapter 1: Season 5.
Functionality
Functionality[]
The Shockwave Grenades are thrown by the player using the arc provided. Once thrown, they will knock back anyone inside of the blast radius, be it the player, an opponent, or a squad member. They will also knock back vehicles, and wildlife.
If caught in the blast radius, the player will be blasted away from it at a high velocity. If the player is blasted near a structure, they will destroy it for a few tiles, allowing the player to launch someone or themselves through a few layers of structures. It will only destroy a structure if it blasts a player through it, else it will deal no damage and does not work through structures.
If caught in the blast, whoever is affected will not take fall damage.
Structure damage will only be maxed out if player is launched through a structure.

Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Shockwave Grenades are very good for fast mobility, as they can launch you and teammates far into the air or forwards, with no damage taken upon impact.
- Shockwave Grenades can be used to launch enemy players into the storm as an attempt to eliminate them. As the launch is fast and far, as well as it ignoring structures, it can be very effective.
- If a player is fast, they can throw a Shockwave Grenade down near an item, quickly swap it out on the very short delay before the grenade detonates, and utilize the grenade whilst keeping the swapped item. This of course uses the grenade up, but it can be useful as to not waste the grenade.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- Shockwave Grenades seem to appear to have Hop Rocks inside them. This is likely the reason as to why they do not cause fall damage on impact. A purple trail is also emitted when you are hit by a Shockwave.
