Fortnite introduced Reality Augments to its players at the start of Chapter 4, and they were a hit among the community. They're back once again for Chapter 4 Season 4, and this time around, gamers will have to decide which Augments will come in handy when preparing a heist, which is what this season is all about.
Fortnite: All Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass Skins
Fortnite players can unlock up to eight different skins with the new Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass.
There are 38 Reality Augments in Fortnite, spread out across four separate categories, and gamers can come up with clever strategies by mixing and matching all of the available options. This guide will show players all the Reality Augments available in Chapter 4 Season 4 and how to use them in the popular battle royale game.
Updated on October 24, 2023, by Ashely Claudino: Although Chapter 4 Season 4 started off with only 18 Reality Augments, most players expected some of them to come and go as the season progressed. At the moment, players can choose from a list of a total of 38 Reality Augments. The end of Chapter 4 Season 4 is just around the corner, so there shouldn't be any changes made to the current options.
This guide has been updated. It no longer contains the Augments added for the anniversary event, but it does include those added with the annual Fortnitemares update.
How to Activate Reality Augments
Once the Battle Bus leaves the starting island, it'll take two minutes and 45 seconds for the Augment countdown to reach zero, and afterward, gamers be able to activate their first Reality Augment - this will happen two minutes before the first storm circle begins to close.
From then on, they'll be able to choose another Augment every couple of minutes. In total, players can activate up to four Reality Augments per match. When players have to select an Augment, they'll be able to choose between two random options, and if they're not satisfied, they can reroll and try to get better options. The first reroll is free, but the following rerolls will cost the player 100 gold bars.
Once gamers have activated a perk, they won't be able to deactivate it until the end of the match, so before making a decision, they should think wisely and come up with a strategy for the rest of the game, as certain Reality Augments can be rather powerful together.
