According to Surrender@20's WIP post covering patch 10.10 on the PBE, a new loot asset called "Eternals Series 1 Capsule" surfaced in the experimental server. As the name suggests, this will probably unlock the 1st series of Eternals for a random champion (that you probably own?). Of course, this is speculation and the site has not confirmed it, but I can't think of any other potential uses.

Taken from Surrender@20's article

The reason I thought I should mention this is because many players may not want this. Now, I understand that many of you may be huge fans for Eternals, and I fully respect that. I, for one, don't really care about eternals, and I'm sure many others do not either. The addition of this new loot type isn't helping, because if (keep in mind that I'm just speculating here) we obtain these Eternals capsules not just through levelling up our accounts but also through normal chests, then the chances of us getting a skin out of these chests become even lower than they are, and I'm confident that most players wouldn't like that.

I hope Riot doesn't shoehorn these paid achievements into the chests, I will be disappointed because not many have asked for this, IIRC. Most people were and still are rather against the concept of Eternals and I think they also care about getting skins from chests, at least for the most part.

I'm open to discussion of course, and I respect your opinions, and, in fact, as long as we're both civil, I'd love to hear your stance on the matter! Naturally, we will have to wait for further details to come as well!

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Don't worry - Eternals Capsules are the only way that Loot will drop Eternals Shards. Also, if you don't want the Eternals Shards, you can disenchant the shards for Orange Essence.
