Chapter 4 introduced the concept of Reality Augments to the Fortnite community, and it was immediately a hit among most fans. This is a fair and balanced way for players to spice up their gameplay and try new things based on the Reality Augments options that they get during a match.
Chapter 4 Season 3 brought some jungle-themed Reality Augments for players to try out. On top of that, some fan-favorite Augments have also made a return, even though others were vaulted. This guide will list all the Augments available in Chapter 4 Season 3, and it will also show Fortnite players how they work.
Updated August 9, 2023, by Ashely Claudino: As Chapter 4 Season 3 progresses, new content will continue release to ensure that Fortnite remains as entertaining as ever. Updates have been issued weekly, and with time, more Reality Augments have been added to the game, while others were vaulted as they didn't receive positive feedback from the community or simply cluttered the Augments pool.
This guide has been updated to help players keep track of everything that's new to the game according to changes made with v25.30. Since Chapter 4 Season 3 will be coming to an end in a couple of weeks, there shouldn't be too many Augment alterations until then.
How to Activate Reality Augments
Reality Augments won't be available as soon as the match starts. When the Battle Bus leaves the waiting island and starts its route, a two-and-a-half-minute countdown will begin, and once it's over and the first Storm Circle appears on the map, players will be able to choose their first Augment.
Gamers will have to choose between two random Reality Augments. If they're not satisfied with any of them, they can reroll for two different options. It's always random, and the same Augments might come up again, so it can be slightly risky. The first reroll players get in a match is free, but the ones after will cost 100 gold bars.
Reality Augments will remain activated until the end of the match; there is no way to deactivate them, so players must always take into consideration their surroundings, the weapons they intend to use during the match, and their gameplay style. In total, players can choose up to four Reality Augments per match.
Available Reality Augments
There are four Reality Augment categories in Fortnite: Combat, Game Changer, Mobility & Scouting, and Looting Reality Augments. Each category will help players improve a specific aspect of their gameplay for the rest of the match.
Below, gamers can find a list of all the currently available Reality Augments. As the season progresses and more updates are released, more will surely be added. This guide will be kept up-to-date so players can always be aware of the changes that have been made.
Players can only check the full Reality Augments list in-game when they're in a Fortnite match . To do it, they have to open their map and then select the Augments tab.
With update 25.10, Fortnite players got three additional Reality Augments: the SMG Extended Mag Augment, the Tracker's Armory Augment (vaulted), and the Mud Warrior Augment. The latter is particularly interesting because it improves the mud present in the Fortnite jungle biome - a Chapter 4 Season 3 exclusive.
Later on, update 25.11 added the Heavy Headshot Augment and the Heavy Ammo Required Augment. On top of this, a hotfix was also released a couple of weeks later, and it added the new Splash Party Augment and the Roaming Redeploy Augment - a revamped version of the previously vaulted Aerialist Augment.
As of update 25.30, various Reality Augments were vaulted and had to be removed from this list. Players will no longer be able to use Tracker's Armory, Primal Companion, and Wildwasp Weaponry. In this update, the Fortnite developers added quite a few Augments related to the mud once again, improving this jungle feature even further. Gamers can now make a mud build by activating Mud Warrior, Shrub Mud, and Thermal Mud.
