Grenades aren’t used much in Fortnite, but the new one looks like it’s going to be useful. While we wait for more information on Season 6, we got some new toys to play with.
The last time we talked about Fortnite was when we covered that mysterious giant cube. There is still not much information on that thing other than that it moves. And it sometimes destroys trees. But, now we have other things to talk about, like fun new gadgets that we probably won’t use correctly. Yes, Season 5 is still breathing and giving out new content. The v5.30 content update is now live, and it brought with it gold-plated weapons, a new limited-time mode, and the Shockwave Grenades.
The Shockwave Grenade is a rather, well, fun tool. You can use it for all kinds of things like launching yourself into the air. If you need to escape a difficult situation or you just want to travel a bit faster than usual, just throw one of these under your feet. You’ll be flying across the sky in no time. Also, everyone affected by this grenade will be protected from fall damage, which will definitely come in handy while we’re launching ourselves and our friends all over the map.
But, as you can imagine, there is more to it. You see, this grenade can knock players back so hard that they destroy any objects in their path. These kinds of items make Fortnite a really fun and goofy experience that trumps all other battle royale games on the market.
