Reality Augments and perks in Fortnite

Fortnite‘s Chapter 5 Season 1 introduces Reality Augments, special perks that grant weapons, key items, or movement boosts, offering players an edge in battle. Here are all of the Augments in Chapter 5 Season 1.

There are loads of ways to increase your chances of winning in Fortnite, whether that’s stocking up on the best weapons, landing at the best locations, or simply hiding until the final moments of a match.

But now there’s another way of increasing your chances of victory: Reality Augments. These new perks were introduced at the start of Chapter 4 and give you boosts to help you eliminate your opponents.

If you’re unsure what Reality Augments are in the game or you just want a list of every perk you can get in Fortnite Chapter 5: Season 1, we’ve got you covered below.

What are Reality Augments in Fortnite?

Reality Augments are basically Fortnite’s own version of perks. They give you little gameplay boosts that can help you perform better in a match, but they’re not usually game-changing advantages.

At regular intervals in every battle royale match, you’ll be offered a choice of Reality Augments. These perks stack up as you collect them, so the longer you remain in a match, the more perks you’ll have.

There are currently 27 Reality Augments that you can be offered during each match, so it’s a good idea to know what each one does to help you make the right choices.

You’ll always be given a choice between two Reality Augments, though, and you can spend Gold Bars to re-roll for different ones if you want, so you could end up with some pretty powerful perk combinations!

How to activate Reality Augments in Fortnite

When you’re able to choose a Reality Augment, a symbol will appear below the minimap. This symbol should also indicate which button you need to press to activate Reality Augments in the game.
