You can now purchase Reboot Cards in Fortnite to bring your teammates back into a match. This guide explains how to do that!

Fortnite's latest update has introduced the ability to purchase Reboot Cards, making it easier to revive your teammates in matches. This function works similarly to the mechanic in Call of Duty: Warzone, where you can buy back teammates using in-game currency.

This article outlines the process of purchasing a Reboot Card to continue a Fortnite match without having to play as a solo.

How do I buy a Reboot Card in Fortnite?

Buying a Reboot Card in Fortnite is as simple as visiting one of the many Reboot Vans on the map and spending your in-game currency. In this case, Fortnite's currency is Gold bars, which you can obtain by eliminating other players, looting Vaults, opening Safes, and breaking Cash Registers.

Each Reboot Card will cost you 500 Gold, meaning if you'd like to revive all three of your teammates in a Squad, it will cost you 1,500 Gold. However, that only covers one reboot each. If you or your teammates perish again during the Fortnite match, it will cost 500 Gold for every Reboot Card thereafter.

It's also worth noting that you don't have to wait for the initial Reboot Card time limit to expire before purchasing one from the Reboot Van.

Here is a complete step-by-step guide explaining how buying a Reboot Card works:

  1. Your teammate or several teammates perish during a Fortnite match
  2. Head to the nearest Reboot Van and hold the proper key or button to purchase a Card for 500 Gold
  3. After purchasing the Card, you can revive the teammate by following the usual Reboote procedure

This option makes Fortnite matches much easier and less stressful in terms of bringing your teammates back. Before update v34.30, you'd previously have to obtain a Reboot Card before it expired and find a Reboot Van nearby.
