What Are Reality Augments in Fortnite and How to Use Them?

Epic Games is switching up the way we play Fortnite. In the new chapter we’ll be seeing a brand new mechanic in the form of Reality Augments in Fortnite. These Reality Augments are temporary buffs that will last until the end of the match.

In the absence of these Reality Augments, the playing field in Fortnite is quite even. These augments, however, will have the capacity to turn the tides of any game.

Where to Find Reality Augments in Fortnite?

Interestingly enough, you won’t have to go looking for these Reality Augments in the game. These will be made available to you automatically at specific time intervals. During these intervals, you will randomly receive two Reality Augments. If you don’t like the one you receive, you will have the chance to reroll these for a better choice. As listed in the Epic Games blog, the longer you last in any given match, the more Reality Augments you will receive.

How to Use These Augments?

You don’t have to do anything extra to get these Reality Augments to work. Since these are buffs, they will be applied to you whenever you pick them up. Not only that, the more Augments you stack, the more buffs you receive. There are a total of 22 Reality Augments in Fortnite. Out of the 22, only five have been revealed till now. They are as follows:

• Light Fingers: You reload weapons that use light ammo faster than normal.
• Mechanical Archer: Gives you a Mechanical Explosive Bow and Mechanical Shockwave Bow.
• Aerialist: You can redeploy your glider easily for the rest of the match.
• Supercharged: Your vehicles have increased health and don’t consume fuel.
• Soaring Sprints: While sprinting, you’ll be able to jump much higher—and jump with lower gravity.
• More Parkour: You gain a small amount of energy right after mantling or hurdling.
• First Assault: The first bullet in the magazine of your Assault Rifle deals bonus damage.
• Rifle Recycle: Weapons that use medium ammo have a small chance of not consuming ammo.

• Bush Warrior: You regenerate health and partial shields while inside large foliage.
• Chug Gunner: You get a Chug Cannon.

• Forecast: You can always see the next storm circle.
