Fortnite introduced Reality Augments to its players in Chapter 4, which quickly became popular within the community. Now, in Chapter 4 Season 4, these Reality Augments are making a comeback, and gamers will have the opportunity to strategically choose which ones will be useful for preparing a heist, the main theme of this season.
With a total of 22 Reality Augments available in Fortnite, spread across four different categories, gamers can create clever strategies by combining various options. This guide will provide players with an overview of all the Reality Augments available in Chapter 4 Season 4, as well as tips on how to effectively utilize them in the battle royale game.
How to Activate Reality Augments
After the Battle Bus departs from the starting island, it will take two minutes and 45 seconds for the Augment countdown to reach zero. Once this occurs, gamers will have the ability to activate their first Reality Augment. This will take place two minutes prior to the closing of the initial storm circle.
Subsequently, players will have the opportunity to select another Augment every few minutes. In total, they can activate up to four Reality Augments during a match. When it comes time to choose an Augment, players will be presented with two random options. If they are unsatisfied with these choices, they can opt to reroll and attempt to obtain better options. The first reroll is free, but subsequent rerolls will require the player to exchange 100 gold bars.
