You've Got the Loot, Now Get the Perks: A Hilarious Guide to Activating Fortnite Augments on Switch
So you just landed in Tilted Towers, your inventory is bursting with enough firepower to level a skyscraper, and you see a mysterious blue message flash: "New Augmentation Available!" But wait, how do you actually activate these fancy power-ups on your trusty Switch? Don't worry, fellow loopers, this guide will have you wielding these buffs like a seasoned pro in no time, even if your building skills resemble a toddler's art project (we've all been there).
First Things First: What Even Are Augments?
Imagine finding a vending machine that dispenses superpowers instead of Slurpshocks. That's basically what Augments are! These little guys grant you unique perks throughout the match, like increased health, faster movement, or even the ability to see chests through walls (perfect for those sneaky loot goblins).
Alright, Alright, How Do I Activate Them?
Hold on to your bananas, because this is easier than that trickshot you keep failing. Here's the lowdown:
- The Blue Whisper: Keep an eye out for the aforementioned blue message. It'll appear near the minimap, like a digital spirit guide beckoning you to greatness (or at least a decent top 10 finish).
- D-Pad Power: When the message arrives, hold the right D-pad button. This is your key to unlocking the Augment menu, a veritable buffet of awesome abilities.
- The Choice is Yours: Now comes the fun part! You'll be presented with two different Augments. Take a moment to ponder your strategic genius (or just pick the one with the cooler name).
- Lock it In: Once you've made your decision, simply press the right trigger to activate your chosen Augment. Boom! You're now officially a walking, talking (or dancing) embodiment of power.
Pro Tip: Don't like the options? You can reroll them once for free! Just look for the "Reroll" prompt at the bottom of the menu. Subsequent rerolls will cost you some precious Gold Bars, though, so spend wisely!
I Activated an Augment, Now What?
Now the fun begins! Use your newfound power to dominate the battlefield. Remember, knowledge is power (especially when that power lets you see hidden chests), so utilize your Augment to its full potential. Just don't get too cocky – there are plenty of other loopers out there with their own arsenal of buffs.
