A New Grenade is Coming to Fortnite: Battle Royale
A new grenade, called the Shockwave Grenade, is set to bring an exciting twist to player-vs-player battles in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Epic Games has confirmed that the Shockwave Grenade is real and will be arriving in the game very soon. This suggests that players can expect to see the new item within the next few days. The grenade has a unique ability to “send yourself, allies, or enemies flying like a human cannonball” while also providing immunity against fall damage, according to an in-game message.

Based on the description, the Shockwave Grenade appears to be somewhat similar to the Impulse Grenade, which is used to propel players away from where it lands. However, the Shockwave Grenade seems to introduce a new element with its “human cannonball” effect.
The exact release date for the Shockwave Grenade in Fortnite remains unknown, but it is highly likely that players will be able to get their hands on it by the end of the week.
