The Shield Breaker EMPs can be found easily across the Chapter 5 Season 4 island.

Throwing the EMP grenade will result in an explosion, which will damage shields and temporarily disable electrical equipment and vehicles. When used against enemies, each grenade inflicts 80 Shield damage and you can store up to six EMP grenades in a single weapon slot.

Players can use any War Machine equipment to temporarily disable opponents by hurling these items at them. The Hover Jets movement meta has become popular in Battle Royale action, providing players with a viable way to counter the overpowered nature of certain items.

The duration of the effect caused by these grenades is approximately 10-15 seconds, varying slightly depending on the object they are thrown at.

The current season of Fortnite features a significant partnership with Marvel, resulting in the introduction of a variety of skins and cosmetics through the Battle Pass. This exciting collaboration has brought beloved characters from the Marvel universe to the island, where they must confront Doctor Doom and his henchmen at new points of interest.
