Reality Augments are a brand new addition in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1, giving players random perks that can help turn the tide of a difficult battle royale match.
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 a brand new way of increasing your chances of victory: Reality Augments. These new perks were introduced in Chapter 4 Season 1 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, 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 32 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.

Five new Reality Augments were added with the v23.30 update on January 31. We’ve marked them as NEW on the table above so you can check them out.
Remember that Reality Augments are given out at random during matches, so you can’t guarantee that you’ll always get the ones you want.
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!
