Fortnite has a new update. The update is version v34.30. It was announced by ShiinaBR on X. Epic Games has added a new feature. The feature lets players buy Reboot Cards. Reboot Cards revive teammates. Now, they cost 500 gold at Reboot Vans. This change also works in Creative mode. Creators can use UEFN tools to add the mechanic.
What Is New
Players can now purchase Reboot Cards. They cost 500 gold. The cards are available at Reboot Vans. The card system is not new. It used to work by having players search for cards on the map. Now, a simple gold payment revives teammates. Creative mode also gets this update. This makes testing new maps easier. It gives creators more ways to play with mechanics.
How It Works
When a teammate falls, players can go to a Reboot Van. They pay 500 gold. The gold is deducted immediately. A Reboot Card appears after the transaction. The card lets the fallen player rejoin the battle. The process is much faster. The manual retrieval of cards is no longer necessary. Players now spend time on other tasks. The gold cost adds a clear expense to reviving teammates.

The update changes the revival dynamic. It cuts down on the need to run and search. The process now has a fixed price tag. This encourages teams to plan their gold use. The change ties into Chapter 6 Season 2. This season has a heavy focus on gold. Players need to use gold for heists and black market buys. Now, revives have an added cost. Teams must think about resource management. Some players like the fast revival option. They enjoy the reduced risk. Others say it removes a strategic element. The change may lower combat intensity. Community reactions are mixed. Reddit users have shared their thoughts
Some worry that van camping will rise. They expect players to protect these vans. Others see a balanced trade-off between ease and risk.
Gold now has more value. Players must choose between buying Reboot Cards and saving gold for other uses. This update acts as a gold sink. It forces teams to decide carefully. Every gold coin matters more in tough battles. The decision to spend gold now carries weight.
