Fortnite remains to be one of the biggest games in the world, and it’s only getting bigger. According to reliable leaker Loolo, Epic Games is planning to introduce a new feature that will allow players to buy reboot cards with gold. So this means you may not have to take the gamble of getting ambushed by enemies to save your team.
The reboot system has been a big part of the game’s squad modes since it came out and this is the biggest change it’s ever seen. The cost hasn’t been revealed yet but it would have to be decently high but not so expensive that players don’t even consider it as an option. Since we are speculating on leaks, take all this information with a grain of salt.
Fortnite is making it easier to bring your team back
According to reputable Fortnite leaker Loolo, you’ll soon be able to buy reboot cards to revive your teammates. This new feature will allow players to purchase the reboot cards of their fallen teammates using in-game gold. The leak doesn’t include the exact cost of buying them, but this is a big change for the game.
BUYING REBOOT CARDS IS COMING SOON! 👀🔥
This feature will allow you to buy the reboot cards of the death members of your squad for gold (TBD amount), instead of needing to pick up their cards.

I actually hate this. It takes away some of the fun and randomness of the game.

The reboot system in Fortnite lets players revive teammates by collecting and delivering their reboot cards to the Reboot Van. But players would have to go where their teammates died to collect the cards, which is a hard task because the enemy team often waits for you to do just that. But this new system could change the way players strategize for revives because now you just need to have enough gold.
The early responses from players are about how much this new mechanic should cost. The general consensus seems to be that buying reboot cards should cost around 800 to 1000 gold. There are also some fans who think this takes away some of the skill-based aspects of the game and makes it easier. Epic Games hasn’t confirmed the exact implementation of this so for now, we take it with a grain of salt.
Fortnite is consistently growing and evolving
Fortnite first added the Reboot System back in Chapter 1, Season 8. At the time it was inspired by Apex Legends‘ Respawn Beacon, which is essentially the same thing. Since then, Reboot Vans and cards have become a big part of squad gameplay. The system has had tweaks and changes over the years for balancing, but this new change is easily going to be the biggest we’ve seen.
Despite being nearly eight years old, Fortnite is still one of the biggest, if not the biggest game in the world. The game just kicked off Chapter 6 Season 2 With a Battle Pass featuring characters like Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat and Outlaw Midas. We’re seeing more and more content, collabs and so much more.
As of now, Epic Games has not provided an official release date for the purchasable reboot cards. There are reports of it already being in Competitive but Loolo confirms that this is a mistake and that the feature isn’t fully out yet. But if the feature is already nearing completion then we’ll probably see it soon.
