In the process, they have found a number of new cosmetic items that will be introduced to the game’s Item Shop in the near future, which are always a popular hit among fans who want to make their character stand out from the crowd.

While these items have been added to the game in the v8.40 update, there is no guarantee that they will ever make an appearance in the game, with Epic Games often choosing to hold back cosmetics and other items.
