Fortnite is is certainly known for adding interesting new mechanics to shake up the game, but Chapter 4 has brought perhaps the largest change to the popular battle royale experience in years. This time around, we haven’t just received an exciting new map and some fresh weapons–Epic has introduced game-changing Reality Augments that function like perks for your character. This new system can completely change the flow of a match, so you’ll want to know everything you can about which Augments to get and how they work. Don’t worry–we’ve got you covered here.
Fortnite Augments list
Throughout each match, you’ll be given the choice between two random Augments that can help give you a leg up on your competition. The longer you survive, the more Augments you’ll be offered. These will last until the end of the match, but they do not carry over into the next game. If you don’t like the randomized Augment, you can reroll for a chance at one you do want–but be aware that you only get one free reroll. If you want to keep rerolling, you’ll have to spend 100 gold bars each time.

Like other collections in the game, Augments have their own tab where you can see which ones you’ve discovered so far. Epic is almost certain to add more Augments in the weeks and months to come, so make sure to check back in the future to see which ones you may not have found yet.
