8 most useful Augments in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1

Augments in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 are perhaps the most exciting addition the game has ever received, changing the gameplay style amongst loopers. The newly added Reality Augmentation System has successfully created a class system in Fortnite.

Ever since the introduction of the Zero Build mode in Chapter 3 Season 2, loopers have been experimenting with different weapons, vehicles, and utilities across the island. Using vehicles and cow catchers as cover, and hiring NPCs for combat support are some things that have seen a rise in the Battle Royale mode of Fortnite.

Players created a class system amongst themselves by choosing a healer, a rusher, and a support gunner. However, now with Augments, teammates can collaborate amongst themselves and choose different perks that support each of them individually and collectively as a team.

Here are the top eight most useful Augments you should use in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1.

Top 8 most useful Augments in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1

8) First Assault

As explained in Augment's description, the First Assault gives the first bullet in the magazine of the player's assault rifle the ability to deal bonus damage rather than the usual stats. This is similar to Chapter 3's Prime Shotgun, that deals most damage in the first shot of the magazine.

The Augment comes in extremely handy while using the Red-Dot AR as the scope increases the accuracy of the player's shots. It also helps lower the opponent's overshield in a single shot, as the following shots can lead to their elimination.

7) More Parkour

The More Parkour Augment allows players to sprint endlessly as long as they are hurdling and mantling as it regenerates their energy occasionally. Usually, to get an energy boost, players turn to Slap Juice or Slap Berries to sprint further than they can.

However, if they do not wish to carry any of the Slap consumables, they can activate the More Parkour augment, giving them endless ability to sprint. Moreover, when combined with the Soaring Spirits Augment, More Parkour could be overpowered. This is because it depends on the sprint energy of the player. So the two augments can interconnect with each other well.

6) Splash Medic

The Splash Medic Augment increases the chances of finding Chug Splashes in every container players open. This gives them a guaranteed healing item from every container, like the Ammo Box, Toolbox, or Chest.

The Augment is useful for players who like to be on the run and stay fully healed in a single match.

5) Tactical Armory

The Tactical Armory Augment grants players who activate it two secret Unvaulted weapons; the Tactical Assault Rifle and Combat Shotgun. With this, players can use these classic Fortnite weapons that are not available in any chest loot.

Another similar Augment called Mechanical Archer grants players with Mechanical Shockwave and Explosive Bows that are also secretly unvaulted and bringing back the classic Fortnite weapons back into the loot pool.

4) Party Time

The Party Time Augment allows players to gain Balloons over time as they play a Battle Royale match in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1. Balloons are highly useful for players to rotate across the island and allow them to be airborne for a significant amount of time.

Additionally, players have recently discovered a meta upon combining the Augment with the Shockwave Hammer. This allows them to aim the Hammer Smash perfectly at their opponents. It also prevents them from inflicting fall damage when their balloons are burst by incoming fire.

3) Bush Warrior

Also known as one of the most overpowered Augments in Fortnite, Bush Warrior allows players to regenerate health and partial shields while hiding inside large foliage spread across the island.

Activating this can be highly useful for players who are low on health. Hiding in a bush can help them fill their health bar to 100 and their shield levels to 50, so they are ready to go back into battle again. Now, Bush Camping will also grant them health and will be highly useful in high combat Battle Royale matches.

2) Forecast

In a Fortnite battle Royale match, predicting the storm circle is a hit-and-miss opportunity for most players as they need to constantly be on the move.

Activating the Forecast Augment allows players to always see the next storm circle so they can time their next rotation and help their teammates rotate strategically across the island to clutch that Victory Royale in Fortnite.

1) Aerialist

Aerialist is probably the best Fortnite Augment out of all, as it gives players who activate the ability to redeploy their glider infinite number of times. This augment is highly useful when players are playing the regular builds mode and must avoid fall damage when their builds are broken.

Aerialists can also save players from the fall damage players can get when struck by a Shockwave Hammer or an Impulse Grenade. It serves as a great counter to both the items above and can save loopers as they can redeploy their glider to save themselves.
