In this article, we will break down everything we know about Reality Augments in Fortnite.

What are Reality Augments?

Reality Augments are temporary buffs that will last for the duration of a match. According to Epic, players will be given a random choice between two Reality Augments at different intervals in a match. The longer players survive, the more of them they will be able to collect. Once the match is over, it all resets, and you cannot bring them into your next match and must start all over again.

You will also be able to re-roll your random choices, but once you have made a choice, you will not be able to do it again until the next two pop up again at the next interval. The Reality Augments can give all manner of buffs, such as increased reloads for specific weapons, faster sprints, higher jumps, or even increased vehicle health.
