The popular video game Fortnite has recently removed the Hammer pickaxe from the game due to a bug.

Epic Games has announced that the Shockwave Hammer, an item introduced in Fortnite’s Chapter 4 Season 1 update, has been temporarily disabled in all modes due to an undisclosed issue. The item has been a source of controversy among players, who have claimed that it gives users an unfair advantage in both combat and non-combat situations.

In a statement on Twitter, Epic Games confirmed that the Shockwave Hammer has been removed from the game due to an “issue,” but did not provide any further details.

The Shockwave Hammer, a weapon recently added to the popular video game Fortnite, has been removed from the game due to multiple bugs and glitches. These issues include an exploit that gives players an unfair advantage and immunity, as well as problems with the item’s healing mechanism when it comes into contact with water.

Players have also been able to use the Shockwave Hammer to farm large quantities of healing items. Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, has not disclosed the specific reason for the removal of the Shockwave Hammer, but it is believed to be related to one of these issues.

The company has faced criticism for removing new items from the game, and there is currently no information on when the Shockwave Hammer may be re-added to the game.

When Will the Hammer Be Back?

Epic Games has announced that the Shockwave Hammer will be returning to Fortnite in the next update, which is scheduled to be released on January 17.

The weapon was temporarily removed from the game due to undisclosed bugs and glitches. In the meantime, players can visit Epic Games’ Trello board to stay informed about any other issues or to report any bugs they encounter in the game.
