The Shadow Bomb is a Consumable in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Season 8.
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. A user can also press the jump button twice when beside walls, letting them wall jump. Wall jumping increases the duration of shrouding.
Stats[]
Shadow Bombs deal no damage. There is no cooldown between throwing them.

Strategy Guide[]
- When under the Effects, you can double jump and wall climb, which is very useful when sneaking up on enemies and moving around.
- As it makes the user almost invisible, the Shadow Bomb is great for rotating, especially when low.
