Fortnite's "Reboot A Friend" program includes an enticing offer for players, including a bunch of new cosmetics. All they have to do is convince their friends to play the game again, so that both can earn the in-game rewards.

Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 4 has already seen a rise in players returning to the game. This was entirely due to the Marvel-themed season, as it attracted several comic book fans.

The new ongoing season has also featured several cups and tournaments that have attracted players back. And the introduction of the Marvel Knockout Super Series has given gamers a brilliant chance to earn their favorite Marvel cosmetics.

Reboot A Friend in Fortnite gives an incentive to players to return to the game. Over the years, many players have quit the game for various reasons. However, this seems like the best opportunity to lure them back.

Recently, iFireMonkey, a popular data miner, tweeted about the Reboot A Friend feature in Fortnite. Although the initiative is still in its testing phase, it is logical to assume that several players will return to the game after this initiative goes global.

Epic also recently added a video chat feature for friends with the help of the Houseparty app.

JadedDrama added a post on Reddit, where he explained the process to earn these cosmetics:

"A new "reboot a friend" program, where you play games for rewards. The rewards here are a reboot emoticon for playing one game, the critical change music pack for 5, the twin falons pickaxes for 10, and the holofoil wrap for 20. NOTE: This is currently being tested for Italy and Brazil, so you probably won't get it."

Thus, players returning to the game will have a brilliant opportunity to earn these cosmetics in Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 4.
