As Fortnite continues to roll out new challenges and features, players continue to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances. The latest addition, augments, can help you out in a pinch depending on what you get. To survive in a match and to complete a recent Fortnite challenge, you need to use augments to restore your health or your shields. If you don’t know which augments help, our guide will steer you in the right direction.

Restore Health or Shields with Augments in Fortnite

Among the weekly challenges, if you want to score some easy XP, you need to use an augment to restore either your health or your shields. If you don’t know, augments are a new addition to the game. It is a perk system, and there are plenty you can unlock that will have various buffs for your character. For instance, some have weapon buffs like increasing the reload rate or magazine size. Others focus more on your character’s well-being.

For now, we are looking for ways to use augments in Fortnite to restore your health or shields. To do this, you will want to go for these specific augments:

  • Bush Warrior
  • Chug Gunner
  • Jelly Angler
  • Splash Medic

With Bush Warrior, your health and some of your shields will regenerate while you’re hiding in a bush. Chug Gunner might be the best of the augments to use in Fortnite to restore health or shields though. This is because it will instantly give you a Chug Cannon.

Splash Medic is good too though as it gives you the chance to find Chug Splash in any container you search through. Jelly Angler might be the least effective method out of the bunch seeing as you still need to track down some Sky Jellies to use your newly acquired Fishing Rod on.

Getting augments to restore health or shields in Fortnite isn’t always easy though. This is because the augment you receive in a match is random. So, if you don’t have any of those yet, you will have to roll for them. Your first re-roll in a match is free. However, if you don’t get it, subsequent rolls will cost you 100 Bars.

Do note that there’s a chance additional augments focusing on health or shields might be added in future updates.

Fortnite is available on PC, PS5 and PS4 systems, Xbox One and Series consoles, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
