Fortnite community narrows down on the best Reality Augment in Chapter 4 Season 2

Reality Augments were introduced to Fortnite in Chapter 4, Season 1, and they changed everything about the game. They allow players to select certain perks/buffs to enhance their playstyle. In many ways, Reality Augments have also allowed players to focus on class builds. Mobility-based Reality Augments can be used for run-and-gun tactics, while utility-based ones can be used to provide support to fellow teammates.

Nevertheless, when it comes to narrowing down on the best one in-game, the community has unanimously decided to vote for a mobility-based Reality Augment. The one being talked about is none other than Aerialist. When obtained, it allows players to re-deploy their Glider anytime they need to. This will enable them to easily rotate and jump off the high ground without worrying about sustaining fall damage. However, Epic Games has somewhat nerfed the Reality Augment.

Despite nerfing the Aerialist Reality Augment, the Fortnite community still considers it to be the best

Although Aerialist has been nerfed after Epic Games added a delay of 0.5 seconds, the Reality Augment still stands tall. While it will take longer for players to re-deploy their Gliders, in the grand of things, it's inconsequential at best. That said, Here's what a few community members have to say about the Aerialist Reality Augment:

The comments show that despite the nerf, the Fortnite community will go out of their way to obtain Aerialist in every match. Even if this means re-rolling Reality Augments until all their gold bars have been exhausted. While this seems economically unwise, it's not a significant loss since gold bars can be farmed relatively easily. Considering how valuable Aerialist is, the cost can be justified.

That being said, there is another Reality Augment that is gunning for the first place as well. It was added to Fortnite in Chapter 4, Season 1, but has only become popular this season. The Reality Augment in question is none other than Sniper Surplus.

Why is the Sniper Surplus Reality Augment rising in popularity in Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 2?

Although being able to rotate and glide to safety anytime and anywhere is beyond valuable, being able to fire two rounds from a Heavy Sniper Rifle is priceless. Without reloading after every shot, players can, in theory, take out two opponents in quick succession if their aim is true.

This comes in clutch when facing off against opponents when being outnumbered or pinned down. Nevertheless, since mastering the Heavy Sniper Rifle is not easy, not everyone selects the Reality Augment in-game. That being said, here's what some Fortnite community have to say about it:

More players would select the Sniper Surplus Reality Augment if using the Heavy Sniper Rifle was easier. However, as things stand, Aerialist is more beneficial as it can be used by everyone, even beginners and those just learning to play the game. Nevertheless, those who eventually get good with long-range weapons will indefinitely choose the Sniper Surplus if and when they get the option during the match.
