How to activate and reroll Augments in Fortnite and Augments list
Get some handy buffs every match.
You need to activate an Augment or reroll Augments in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 in order to gain some helpful buffs, as well as complete challenges.
As it's not clear exactly how to activate an Augment in Fortnite, we've went over the process below.
Augments were new to Chapter 4's first season, so we've also explained how Augments work, and have detailed the current Augments list, and a separate list for the new Augments added on 2nd May.
On this page:
What are Augments in Fortnite?
Reality Augments are special buffs to your weapons, items, or character, that enhance your combat and survival skills.
You get to choose one of two Augments at a time, which range from making your weapons reload faster, letting you deploy another glider, giving your vehicles unlimited fuel - and more!
Augments last until the end of a match, or until you're eliminated, with a maximum of four stackable Augments at a time. So the longer you remain in a match, the more Reality Augments you'll get.
Make sure to activate Augments when you can to even the playing field, as other players are sure to activate them when they become available.
How to activate an Augment in Fortnite
To get combat and exploration buffs, you'll need to activate Augments.
To activate an Augment in Fortnite, you need to wait until the blue 'Ready!' text appears below the minimap, then press right on the d-pad, or '7' on PC by default to open up the menu and choose between the two Augments.
Every time a new Augment choice is available, that 'Ready!' text will appear under the minimap, and you'll be able to activate another buff.
Remember, you don't have to worry about losing Augment buffs with each choice, as they're stackable until the match ends, or you're eliminated.
How to reroll Augments in Fortnite
If you don't like either of the options first available, hold the 'Reroll' button noted on the bottom of the Augment menu when you open it to force another randomised Augment to take its slot.
Your first reroll of a match is free, but they cost 100 gold bars after using this free one.
How to unlock more Augments in Fortnite
Some will be locked if you're just starting out, but you'll unlock more Augments in Fortnite by playing more matches in Battle Royale, Zero Build, and and Team Rumble.
There's a small chance that a new Augment will appear in your two choices. You'll see a yellow 'Unlocked!' badge under an Augment's picture while choosing between two if this is the case. This doesn't seem to happen often, so we recommend picking that Augment if it appears so you can add it to your collection.
