Fortnite is releasing a new set of mechanics for its Chapter 2 update. Players are going to have the chance to fish while in-game, upgrade their weapons, and check out a new map. For those who like to play with your friends, you will have the chance to restart your allies and bring them back to life. Here's how you do it.
How to restart in Fortnite Chapter 2
You can only restart an ally when they have completely broken down and died. You'll know your ally is down when they're gone from the map, and you'll see a power icon on your minimap in the upper right of your screen. This icon shows you where they were downed and where they left a reboot map that you can grab. You need to go there to pick it up. However, you only have 90 seconds to do so. After that, you won't be able to send them back into the game, and the person who fell will be forced to watch. They will have to wait for their ally to win, or die somewhere on the map.
To revive your ally, you need to locate one of the reboot vans found in the game. You'll notice these blue and white vans by the large power icon shown on the side.

Approach the van and deal the restart card. This process takes a bit of time, so make sure no one is around. If you're pressed for time to revive your teammate, get going right away, crouch down and hope you don't get spotted. You may be able to get your allies to cover for you if you have someone else in your party.
After you finish dealing the reboot map, the downed player spawns on top of the van with their pickaxe and pistol. They won't start with much, but it's better than nothing, and you can keep looking for more items. You might even be kind enough to lend them a gun or rifle that you don't use.
Be sure to pick up the Reboot Card when your allies crumble. You don't have to leave them behind anymore in FortniteChapter 2 update.
