Shockwave Blades is arguably one of the best-designed Fortnite Icon Series Back Blings. It was released during Chapter 3 Season 1, on February 2, 2022. It is part of the Welcome To The Melloverse Set and can be purchased together with the Marshinobi Outfit for 1600 V-bucks. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to return to the Item Shop anytime soon considering it was last seen 759 days ago.

This Marshmello collaboration has a sleek design, and dynamic aesthetic which could go well with so many outfits. It features two Japanese blades tied together and has a great visual appeal to it. It is perfect for players who collect samurai-themed cosmetics in Fortnite.
