- — In-Game Description
The Shadow Bomb is a Utility Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Season 8.
Functionality
Functionality[]
When used, the user will turn into a "shadow", emitting hard-to-see black particles, slightly revealing the user's location. The user, while in the "Shadow Bomb state", cannot interact with items, edit or place builds, or use a weapon or harvesting tool. When 6 seconds is over, there is a small delay before being able to do anything.
The user can also press the jump button twice when beside walls, letting them wall jump. The "shadow" mode will only end when touching the ground or while in water, meaning that it can be indefinitely extended by spamming double jumps and rolls, or by staying in the air.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- The Epic internal ammo of the Shadow Bomb used to be obtainable in Creative by filling you inventory with Scoreboards or Timer traps and then it would drop on the floor when using the Shadow Bomb. When picked up you would become completely invisible and you were still able to use Guns and other items.
- You were also able to save it in Vending Machines but that was later patched.
