— In-Game Description

The Shadow Bomb is a Utility Item in Fortnite OG that was introduced in OG Chapter 1: 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.
