Why Fortnite Should Reintroduce This Unique Feature

Sure! Here’s a rewritten version of your article:

So, you know how Fortnite keeps throwing all these wild updates at us? Like, every season, there’s something fresh. Some things stick around, like running – feels like that’s been there forever now – but then, other cool stuff just… poof, it’s gone. One of those things? Augments. Here’s my take on why they should totally make a comeback.

Right now, Fortnite’s all about Star Wars again. Classic, right? I mean, I kinda love it – who doesn’t want to run around as Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker? But there seems to be more behind the scenes. The weapons, the spots, everything. Sure, this theme’s pulling its weight, but sometimes it’s the mechanics that really change things up. Cue the Augments.

Back in Chapter 4: Season 1, they dropped the Reality Augments. Fun times, those were. Every twoish minutes, you’d get to pick between two perks. Maybe you’d deal extra damage or speed around faster. You could kinda plan your strategy around whichever one popped up. But then, boom, they just ditched it with the OG season of Chapter 4. Like, why though?

Okay, honestly, reality augments? They were a blast. Randomness equals fun, right? There was this Party Time augment, giving players floating balloons – ridiculous in the best way. And Aerialist? Who doesn’t want to glide mid-fight? Not to mention sliding around all icy-like with Icy Slide. Just pure chaos.

Weirdly enough, some Augments never made it to the game – like this one where you’d gather bars with every storm circle. Useful, no? There were some bonkers ideas like getting warped by a rift after hanging out in water. What’s up with that? Honestly, it feels like a crime they didn’t make the cut.

I’m crossing my fingers for a return. Fortnite’s been known for sticking new stuff on their map like NPCs – hey, they turned out cool. So maybe Augments could have a second shot at life. They were all about mixing things up, throwing random perks in your face every match. Even if it was brief, it was exciting while it lasted. Fortnite’s not slowing down, so there’s still time for these to make a grand return!
