- — In-Game Description
Kit's Shockwave Launcher is a Mythic Explosive Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was added in Chapter 2: Season 3.
Kit's Shockwave Launcher is the Mythic version of the Shockwave Launcher.
Functionality[]
Kit's Shockwave Launcher functions identically to the regular Grenade Launcher, in terms of fire rate and magazine size, but the projectiles it launches are fundamentally different, as well as the weapons use. Kit's Shockwave Launcher launches Shockwave Grenades, which deal no damage to players, but can launch teammates and enemies away from the projectile. By this metric, the weapons use is not to attack players, but more to support, although the grenades can be used to displace enemy players or launch them into the Storm.

Trivia[]
- Kit's Shockwave Launcher is the first Mythic item in the game to be introduced before its regular counterpart.
- Although very similar to the Grenade Launcher design wise, Kit's Shockwave Launcher uses a different model, as well as a white paintjob with purple elements to it, and glowing grenade cylinders.
- Strangely, Kit's Shockwave Launcher is available in the Unvaulted Limited Time Mode. This is odd because every weapon in that mode is of the standard five rarities normally seen in game, and Kit's Shockwave Launcher is the only Mythic present. On top of this, the Launcher does not need to be acquired by eliminating Kit, as he is no longer present in the game, instead it drops from Chests and Floor Loot during Chapter 2: Season 5.
- This is likely due to the regular Shockwave Launcher not being created yet.
- With Kit's Shockwave Launcher being unvaulted during Chapter 2 Remix, the newly added Boss-exclusive variant was also accidentally made obtainable. The difference being it had unlimited ammo.
