Epic Games have released the official patch notes for the v8.51 content update. The update brings a brand new item to the game, the Shadow Bomb.

Epic Games updated the in-game news feed a couple of days ago to announce a new item coming to the game, the Shadow Bomb.

The Shadow Bomb was leaked by dataminers in both the v8.40 and v8.50 update, with the item image being leaked in v8.50 along with animations of how a player would use the new throwable.

The patch notes for the v8.51 update are now available which can be seen below:
