How Reboot Works in Fortnite OG Reload
To successfully Reboot you and your teammates in Fortnite Reload, it is essential to have at least one member of your Squad still alive during matches. As long as this requirement is met, your teammates will automatically Reboot and respawn after a certain amount of time has elapsed.
Fortnite Reload launches into Chapter 5 Season 3 on June 22.
This is precisely the process of how Reboot works in Fortnite Reload:
- Once a player is eliminated, their individual Reboot timer will start and upon completion, they will respawn.
- The initial Reboot timer for your matches will be 30 seconds, but it will gradually increase to 40 seconds as the game progresses.
- Your squadmates have the ability to decrease Reboot timers by 2 seconds when they down an enemy, 4 seconds for a complete elimination, and 10 seconds for eliminating an entire opposing team.
- If you or your teammates are knocked down, but the Reboot timer has ended, players can immediately revive themselves instead of having to wait for someone else to revive them.
- By the conclusion of the match, all Reboots will become inaccessible, resulting in teammates being fully eliminated just like in a standard match.
When a player respawns, they will start with a common Assault Rifle and 100 Wood (if Building is enabled). In the event of a player’s elimination, they will leave behind Small Shield Potions, medium ammo, light ammo, shotgun shells, all of their loot, and 50 of each building material (for Building mode only).
