Is Shockwave being removed?


Is Shockwave being removed? Epic Games has finally removed the Shockwave Hammer from Fortnite a lot of concern and criticism from the community. This particular weapon was glitching and allowed players to infinitely bounce around the map while dealing damage to opponents. This made the weapon extremely overpowered and unfair.


Why was Shockwave discontinued?

The reason to discontinue Shockwave is quite simple. “As technologies evolve and the use of mobile devices has grown, interactive content has moved to platforms such as HTML5 Canvas and WebGL and usage of Shockwave has declined,” according to the company.


When was ShockWave removed?

After nearly thirty years in operation, Shockwave closed permanently on August 9, 2015. It was replaced by Delirium, a Mondial Revolution flat ride, which opened in 2016.
