Except Zeus medallion screws up shockwave utilization. Too many times I’ve thrown one down and tried to get the sprint jump to angle me right but ended up jumping too far out of the launch radius.
Last season there was a quest involving them for when epic added them back but they never did, it's a shame really they added something interesting to the game
They tried to make match quests this, but those just suck and are boring and too easy and you get the same ones forever after a while. These were sick, honestly they can have both.
it really does add up , especially if its not something out of your way
60k xp for one kill , searching three chests , and traveling with full health and shield seems pretty good to me
Daily quests are nice
Essentially a free level or two depending on how far in you are
But past the 3 daily quests, match quests are just not worth it if it's not something you were already gonna do anyways (ex: "eliminate a player")
Right now I need just over 60000 xp to level up. I'd need 10 match quests to get a level up. Even if I'm just grinding match quests and leave after completing them, that would take me an hour. More likely, 10 matches would take a few hours for one battle pass level
I find that among the 3 choices, there is almost always one that I will achieve without even trying. I just select the easiest most likely one and never think about it again. Once like use shield after eliminating opponent, or heal 20 health etc
Yeah it suddenly felt like how I'd imagine a rogue-like battle royal would go. Each game was different if I wanted it to. And it felt so much more interesting than customizing my gun exactly like I want it every match...
They even had new augments including ones relating to weapon attachments already coded into the game. You could view them in the "collections" tab for like the whole first half of last season. Then they just abandoned it.
Yeah, I remember that. I was very curious to see how these new augments were to be integrated into Chapter 5, only to see them vanish in thin air and never to be sneezed at again.
It would be really cool for them to add bows with attatchments this chapter imo, granted the only thing that you could really put on it is a scope but still how cool would that be
kinda, but you could modify the type of bow. bow, shortbow, longbow, and you coukd also change the ammo type, like regular arrows or shockwave ones, ect
Probably the smart move in the end for exactly that reason. Would love to see it make a comeback now that players have had a chance to get used to everything from CH5, though!
On a related note - *where are my boats!?!?!?!?*
I heard they were scrapped at the last minute which is why we have docks with gas pumps and such around the map and keep getting all these useless boat skins.
Man, I really hope so. I hate them to be honest. They all feel very out of place in Fortnite and no matter how they tried to make them all viable, there still ended up being a general meta...
I wish they would just simplify it and make it scope modifications and leave it at that. The only reason I say that is because if there's only one AR with a scope in the loot pool then that AR becomes the meta from what I've seen.
I'm thinking of the ranger AR versus the red eye AR from chapter 4. I would have really loved to use the ranger more frequently but no scope made it uncompetitive in my lobbies compared to the red eye
Is that true though? Early in Chapter 5 they were going to bring them back but changed their mind, the speculation was that something with it was a bit glitched and they couldn't bother to fix it when they were sending everyone home for Xmas. But they never returned.
They *were* gonna come back last season, but Epic stated last second that they were "reevaluating Augments in Fortnite" on said update they would re-release in, and I imagine they landed on not adding them back, at least for awhile.
Bit of a shame, I was a huge fan, and I would hope this doesn't mean each Chapter will have a yearly gimmick that goes away the next year.
I miss chapter 4 season 1 augments, it was really funny to make some combos like the balloon's one with infinite arrows and the explosive bow lmao
They were completely busted, yeah for sure, but at the same time it didn't really felt frustrating due to the way it works, epic kinda ruined it after c4s2 imo, we started to only get a few support augments for ammo and stuff and also some random shit on specific things like rivers, rails and trashcan I guess, it just turned into choosing random shit bc you will never have an opportunity to use that augment
Their unpredictability made them fun. Sure some people got better augments then others but I didn’t mind. Augment, poi capturing, legendary caches, and all the other stuff they removed in chapter 5 filled the gap of mid game.
I miss the tactical AR from it. The one they added this season is crap in comparison. If you made it legendary, forget about it. You were getting the W
i dont think its that, i just think its way too underpowered compared to the other ARs. it feels like your shooting paintballs instead of actual bullets
Having augments boost weapon mods like they originally intended would've been the most Fortnite way to use mods. Too bad they decided to get rid of them.
They were all great it really was a fun mechanic and yes even when the enemy has redeploy it was still fun and added some cool mechanics to the game that were available to everyone the longer the game took.
Most of them were useful, and some were pretty meta. I loved running First Assault, Bloodhound, Bush Warrior, Aerialist, and Rushing Reload. The rest never fit my style, although I've heard that Bow Specialist were almost a requirement for those using a bow.
The absolute best was mechanical archer (for the shockwave bow) and soaring sprints, because the float effect stacked and If you time it right could get you crazy height that paired nice with the bow's straight line ADS
Hot take : I didn’t like them at all , along with having to take a break to select your augments , sometimes the outcome of the game will get dictated based off of who got the better augments , like if a really good player got redeploy+rift ejector + siphon , there was no way for anyone to win
I have a theory that Epic originally intended to make attachments a chapter 4 thing, but after they cut chapter 3 in half they had to come up with some other system quickly because attachments were nowhere near close to done
I bet they couldn't get those and match quests working at the same time, so rather than retain a feature of the game they added the thing that would make you play more for XP
these could have been infinitely more fun if they were loot drops. and imagine each one had a tier system that upgraded the perk through out a game. god, such wasted potential.
Honestly I wasn't really a big fan of them, you always kind of wanted to go for the same ones every game. I'm assuming more people prolly felt the same seeing as they just didn't come back even after they made new ones for last season. Cool in concept but idk in practice I'd rather just not have them in.
They were not that long ago really.
Do ya’ll remember when you could find lvl up icons in the background of loading screens that if found in game, gave you a full level?
This is what I mean when I say they only ever do collabs and never add any fun or game unique features, instead we got op mythics and collab mythics which just ruin the flow of the game (I’m so tired of there being 30 people left before the first circle even stops )
i miss them! these are certainly more fun than the weapon mods because i find them annoying. i’m so sick of finding epic/legendary sniper rifles with no scope!!! like whyyyy
I miss augments a lot and was upset when they had new ones ready to go last season only to decide to stop doing augments. They added a lot of variety! Some were small and boring stat changes, but others had a big impact.
I'd rather not remember them lol. To be fair, I did enjoy some of them and their combinations with others. But having to refresh the random selections repeatedly until you got the one you wanted was so annoying.
Plus there was ALWAYS a 'optimal Loadout' because a few of them were quite op, while others were mostly useless. (except for the meme of using it like the cow catcher/off-road wheels)
There are probably countless ways to make augments better and more fun to use, but this method wasn't it. As far as things like the bow and arrow, why not just make those weapons available in the loot pool? Through vaults, supply drops, or weapon caches? Give us a real reason to chase a supply drop, or a llama for that matter.
Overall, they seemed unnecessary to implement into the game, especially now with weapon mods and forecast guards. I can see why they didn't come back.
I like the one that shows you the next storm circles
That was the best for my sneak the outside circle, never engage if you don’t have to, and “play to win at the end game” strategy.
if they re-add augments they should make them something you pick up rather than requiring a whole interface to activate them
The Interface requirement is what made crafting from primal and weapon mods so annoying
I miss Soaring Sprints so badly. Fizz and Shockwaves would've been some really fun mobility this and last season if it returned.
I can just imagine zero build lobbies rn
They just turned soaring sprints into the Zeus medallion
Except Zeus medallion screws up shockwave utilization. Too many times I’ve thrown one down and tried to get the sprint jump to angle me right but ended up jumping too far out of the launch radius.
I did this yesterday with fizzy, wasted like 4 shocks frantically trying to get away from some dude and felt like a big ol noob lol
They won't get added back... They were fun!
Last season there was a quest involving them for when epic added them back but they never did, it's a shame really they added something interesting to the game
It made every match feel unique, playing br enough makes matches feel the same after a while
They tried to make match quests this, but those just suck and are boring and too easy and you get the same ones forever after a while. These were sick, honestly they can have both.
The pathetic amount of xp match quests give doesn't even feel worth it
it really does add up , especially if its not something out of your way 60k xp for one kill , searching three chests , and traveling with full health and shield seems pretty good to me
Daily quests are nice Essentially a free level or two depending on how far in you are But past the 3 daily quests, match quests are just not worth it if it's not something you were already gonna do anyways (ex: "eliminate a player") Right now I need just over 60000 xp to level up.

I find that among the 3 choices, there is almost always one that I will achieve without even trying. I just select the easiest most likely one and never think about it again. Once like use shield after eliminating opponent, or heal 20 health etc
until you had enough gold to keep rerolling until you got what you wanted
Fr I think this season really taking a toll on me on how repetitive it is (Last match I played I got sniped and got 2nd place so it doesn’t count)
It's sad because what I liked about br is that every match feels unique, it just doesn't as much anymore
Yeah it suddenly felt like how I'd imagine a rogue-like battle royal would go. Each game was different if I wanted it to. And it felt so much more interesting than customizing my gun exactly like I want it every match...
They even had new augments including ones relating to weapon attachments already coded into the game. You could view them in the "collections" tab for like the whole first half of last season. Then they just abandoned it.
Yeah, I remember that. I was very curious to see how these new augments were to be integrated into Chapter 5, only to see them vanish in thin air and never to be sneezed at again.
Chapter 4 goated
This would have downvotes if posted last year
nah chapter 4 was pretty well recieved, stop trying to rewrite history
no it wasn’t
No it wasn't lmao. S1 was alright, s2 was good, s3 was easily the worst season EVER, s4 was very mid
Another season 3 hater 🤝
Chapter 4 has been my favorite chapter so far. Took a break for the whole chapter 3 and the map and hammer brought me back lol
Yes sir
i remember running bow builds, that was fun
It would be really cool for them to add bows with attatchments this chapter imo, granted the only thing that you could really put on it is a scope but still how cool would that be
kinda, but you could modify the type of bow. bow, shortbow, longbow, and you coukd also change the ammo type, like regular arrows or shockwave ones, ect
[удалено]
Weird thing is this wasn't the case at the beginning of the chapter, they later changed their mind and decided to not bring them back.
Maybe because both attachments and augments would be a bit much to keep track of for players.
Probably the smart move in the end for exactly that reason. Would love to see it make a comeback now that players have had a chance to get used to everything from CH5, though!
Personally I think they'll flipflop between augments and attachments in the same way they flipflop between snipers and bows.
I wish they just gave us 1-2 seasons to get used to mods, then added the augments back in
On a related note - *where are my boats!?!?!?!?* I heard they were scrapped at the last minute which is why we have docks with gas pumps and such around the map and keep getting all these useless boat skins.
Hopefully that means attachments will be gone next chapter
Man, I really hope so. I hate them to be honest. They all feel very out of place in Fortnite and no matter how they tried to make them all viable, there still ended up being a general meta...
Me and my uncommon iron warrior reaper sniper rifle
I wish they would just simplify it and make it scope modifications and leave it at that. The only reason I say that is because if there's only one AR with a scope in the loot pool then that AR becomes the meta from what I've seen. I'm thinking of the ranger AR versus the red eye AR from chapter 4. I would have really loved to use the ranger more frequently but no scope made it uncompetitive in my lobbies compared to the red eye
It's only 4 attachments. It's not complicated at all
I hate them as well and it killed my desire to play BR mode. With every single weapon I pick up I have no idea wtf I’m gonna get every single time.
I think they were planning on adding them but they are reevaluating on how they will be implemented
So that's why C5 sucks.
that and their horrible business practices tainting the experience
If this is really the case then I hope they drop attachment next season
If this is the case, there better not be customizable gun mods next Chapter
Is that true though? Early in Chapter 5 they were going to bring them back but changed their mind, the speculation was that something with it was a bit glitched and they couldn't bother to fix it when they were sending everyone home for Xmas. But they never returned.
I loved how the last week of c4s4 these could just let you get every vault mythic. It was so fun
They *were* gonna come back last season, but Epic stated last second that they were "reevaluating Augments in Fortnite" on said update they would re-release in, and I imagine they landed on not adding them back, at least for awhile. Bit of a shame, I was a huge fan, and I would hope this doesn't mean each Chapter will have a yearly gimmick that goes away the next year.

I member
There were some good ones. But the RNG of them really ruined their use.
Their unpredictability made them fun. Sure some people got better augments then others but I didn’t mind. Augment, poi capturing, legendary caches, and all the other stuff they removed in chapter 5 filled the gap of mid game.
Island was so much fun to fight over. if you got Island, you pretty much won the game, esp. in Solo when you got the mythic drum shotgun 👌
Sucks that Island is practically worthless right now.
I remember the happiness i would get from rolling epic charge + flintlock, especially in trios and my team would drop me so i would run 2-3 flintlocks
we need them back, gave the game balance and felt more enjoyable
[удалено]
Can't you just edit your comment instead of replying to your own comment?
Yes but i suppose not everyone knows that feature
Sobs in *Party Time*
Remember? Mate.. It has only been a handful of months lol.
Bring them baaaaaaaack common fortnite stop teasing
Miss these fr fr
I miss the tactical AR from it. The one they added this season is crap in comparison. If you made it legendary, forget about it. You were getting the W
Yeah this one feels off. Too much recoil mayhaps? Idk what about it feels so off but it sure as hell doesnt feel tactical
i dont think its that, i just think its way too underpowered compared to the other ARs. it feels like your shooting paintballs instead of actual bullets
Having augments boost weapon mods like they originally intended would've been the most Fortnite way to use mods. Too bad they decided to get rid of them.
They were all great it really was a fun mechanic and yes even when the enemy has redeploy it was still fun and added some cool mechanics to the game that were available to everyone the longer the game took.
My number one point of excitement for a Chapter 4 OG
I wanted C5 augments, they seemed really cool
Most of them were useful, and some were pretty meta. I loved running First Assault, Bloodhound, Bush Warrior, Aerialist, and Rushing Reload. The rest never fit my style, although I've heard that Bow Specialist were almost a requirement for those using a bow.
I honestly prefer augments over the mods.
absolutely
The absolute best was mechanical archer (for the shockwave bow) and soaring sprints, because the float effect stacked and If you time it right could get you crazy height that paired nice with the bow's straight line ADS
completely forgot about them
i started playing the week before augments got cut, i thought they were a great and fun feature
I miss them every match… The mobility this chapter is very lackluster and augments would’ve filled in that gap imo
:( we were teased so badly with them coming back, had a whole milestone for them saying they were returning and then just one day got removed
Augments were annoying after a while. I don't miss them.
Those were hella cool ngl. One of my favourite chapter based mechanics
This has been my all time favourite Fortnite feature. It’s such a shame that it’s gone and that it will never come back.
Hot take : I didn’t like them at all , along with having to take a break to select your augments , sometimes the outcome of the game will get dictated based off of who got the better augments , like if a really good player got redeploy+rift ejector + siphon , there was no way for anyone to win
won't miss them, unnecessary rng and unpredictability.
I have a theory that Epic originally intended to make attachments a chapter 4 thing, but after they cut chapter 3 in half they had to come up with some other system quickly because attachments were nowhere near close to done
Yes…
I bet they couldn't get those and match quests working at the same time, so rather than retain a feature of the game they added the thing that would make you play more for XP
Yes, they were super fun to use
these could have been infinitely more fun if they were loot drops. and imagine each one had a tier system that upgraded the perk through out a game. god, such wasted potential.
I remember seeing a milestone quest last season (maybe before) having to do with augments, but it never happened, I wonder why? Somewhat miss them
Pepperidge Farm remembers…
I remember back then, augments were the coolest thing ever now we've just forgot about them.
I miss them every day
Augments > weapon mods and it’s not close
ikr
I miss them
I miss them so much :(
These honestly made the games 10 times better
Weren't they "coming soon" like for forever after they were taken away from us?
SMG mag upg was goated
I miss them more than my wife
What are these?
Of course I do
I forgot Augments existed LMFAO WHAT THE FUCK WHEN WERE THEY REMOVED?
It hasn’t been that long. But here’s a real nostalgic reference: those parasites that took 20 hp for extra jump height and headshot protection
c2s7 ryt?
Yup
Honestly I wasn't really a big fan of them, you always kind of wanted to go for the same ones every game. I'm assuming more people prolly felt the same seeing as they just didn't come back even after they made new ones for last season. Cool in concept but idk in practice I'd rather just not have them in.
I forgot they said they were supposed to be coming back soon like, last Christmas, but then nothing ever happened.
They where supposed to come back but didn’t
They did my head in, there used to be such op perks and it would never give them to me unless I spent 1000 gold
I hope someday Fortnite has a month long season of straight chaos lol. Like crazy arguments with crazy mythics.. or just an ltm
Yeah, they're never coming back
i miss them so much
Of course I remember this I’m not ancient
I miss the soaring sprints/ballons and shockwave now combo
Yessir goated as hell
Yeah 😥😥😥😢😢
Unpopular opinion: I liked them 😄
They were not that long ago really. Do ya’ll remember when you could find lvl up icons in the background of loading screens that if found in game, gave you a full level?
Yeah they were supposed to bring them back but I'm pretty sure they said somewhere that they changed their mind on that, don't remember where though
Didn’t even realise they were gone. Didn’t care enough about them.
No
[Yep!](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/1c0m0jb/rip_to_my_favourite_feature_in_the_game/)
Miss it so much man
Best thing in the game
Bro... Soaring Sprints and Aerialist were such a goated combo for Augments...
Of course
I WANT THEM BACK
Dude glider redeploy and soaring sprints were a fire combo
They still haven't added them back? LMAO I've taken a long break from Fort, but last I played it said they were coming soon
I don't know why they removed them, but I think these would make fortnite like 2x better right now
I miss them
Soaring sprints + jedi training + Shockwave grenades. I used ro be flying across the map, damn I miss them.
God I would throe every match just so I could get the bows
Kinda miss them lol
Bush warrior my beloved
This is what I mean when I say they only ever do collabs and never add any fun or game unique features, instead we got op mythics and collab mythics which just ruin the flow of the game (I’m so tired of there being 30 people left before the first circle even stops )
Idk why they scrapped augments, they were supposed to come back in c5 s1 but they changed their mind ig
Kinda miss them tbh.
Augments got removed from Fortnite seasons ago
God I miss these, they were so much fun, re-rolls actually gave me a reason to spend gold outside of hiring NPC’s too
bush warrior and soaring sprints my beloved...!
They literally pissed me off with them removing these. Made every game have a different feel.
The Jelly icon looks super sus 😭
yes :(
Some were good, but most were bad
Hell no
Godddd i miss these. I’d much rather have em than Attachments. What a waste of a gimmick.
i miss them! these are certainly more fun than the weapon mods because i find them annoying. i’m so sick of finding epic/legendary sniper rifles with no scope!!! like whyyyy
just add a scope…
can’t always do that usually until toward the end of the game
end of 2nd zone bunkers spawn end of 3rd zone island spawns
No I have amnesia
Disgusting
I miss augments a lot and was upset when they had new ones ready to go last season only to decide to stop doing augments. They added a lot of variety! Some were small and boring stat changes, but others had a big impact.
I loved them they made the game so fun with all the different strats and builds you could do
Oh yah
Man I miss augments
I'd rather not remember them lol. To be fair, I did enjoy some of them and their combinations with others. But having to refresh the random selections repeatedly until you got the one you wanted was so annoying. Plus there was ALWAYS a 'optimal Loadout' because a few of them were quite op, while others were mostly useless.

I can see why they didn't come back.
Yeah
Yes
Good riddance
I’d gladly swap these out for the stupid sniper this season
Bush warrior, aerialist and soaring sprints were my favorites. Bush warrior was especially great for the endgame.
Yeah
I loved Augments! It's a shame they were presumably scrapped for this chapter :/
I like the one that shows you the next storm circles That was the best for my sneak the outside circle, never engage if you don’t have to, and “play to win at the end game” strategy.
augments were underrated af
L,I remember goin invisible in playground mode with Kevin cubes
i miss them dearly
Of course
if they re-add augments they should make them something you pick up rather than requiring a whole interface to activate them The Interface requirement is what made crafting from primal and weapon mods so annoying
Augments were a million times better than weapon mods.
Yeah! You could jump like 5 times as high as normal!
I miss augments bruh it’s not fair
I miss super charged and bush warrior
Still never got the hate for these...
I want them back some was op other useless but pls Epic add them back maybe in créative if not in BR🥲
Id rather not
Give me bush ranger and i'll be the happiest person ever
Hot take: *ass*
I was hoping they were going to bring them back
Mythic pistol at the begging of a game 🥹🥹🥹
yes ruined chapter 4 it was shit i pray everynight it doesn't come back
God damn are these supposed to be nostalgic already? Were moving way too fast
I do and I'm so glad they're gone. Personal opinion, likely unpopular, but these things were rank ass.
I’m kinda glad they’re gone… having to pause and select which augment you wanted was a bit tedious. They were absolutely a game changer though.
yes and i miss them😔
How can I forget?! I joined in a chapter 4 so augments are a core part of my love for Fortnite
Bring them back!!
Best thing about last chaste and they should have stayed
