Fortnite May Be Changing the Way Players Reboot

A popular Fortnite leaker has stated that a new "enhanced resurrection" method could be coming to the island, which would allow gamers to reboot with a stronger weapon, shields, and ammo. Reboot vans have become a staple of the Fortnite experience, giving players the opportunity to bring back eliminated teammates as long as they possess the person's reboot card.

Another Fortnite leak claimed reboot vans may soon give players the option to purchase the reboot cards of fallen teammates with gold. The leaker didn't state how much the feature might cost or how often it could be used, but the change would likely alter the flow of matches significantly. Some fans pointed out that the current method of collecting an ally's reboot card can force players into confrontation with one another. It could also spur someone to travel into the storm when they might otherwise flee. Failure to acquire a card means the person will sit out for the rest of the match. Being able to purchase them with gold means there's always a chance a teammate could come back, even very late in the match.

In a recent post on Twitter, ShiinaBR claimed to have knowledge of a stronger reboot method that may be coming to the game soon. Supposedly, the new feature would be called "enhanced resurrection" and it would bring back a fallen teammate with ammo, materials, a large shield, and a Holo Twister Assault Rifle in Fortnite. Currently, players reboot with a gray pistol and a very small amount of ammo.

Reactions to the leak have been mixed, with many people wondering what players will need to do in order to take advantage of the potential feature. Some fans believe it will cost gold, while others suggest that it could be limited to a new type of reboot van. One person even mentioned that it might take one of Fortnite's new Dill Bits, a currency earned by breaking into the game's vaults.

Another leak recently claimed that Midas' Drum Gun and Brutus' Minigun could return to Fortnite during Chapter 6 Season 2. The fan-favorite character Midas has returned to the island with an urban makeover that showcases his rugged side and street attire. While some fans are also excited about the return of Brutus, quite a few people would like to see his minigun remain vaulted. The infamous weapon was known for being a powerhouse that could shred through structures and enemies alike, making it a controversial weapon in the community. With so many rumors floating around about potential features coming to the popular battle royale, many players are excited to see what Epic Games will do next.
