When you have access to one of the Fortnite Reboot Vans, you don't need to be quite so worried about eliminations within your team during Duos or Squads matches, as this doesn't immediately mean it's game over. As long as a surviving teammate can carry out the necessary actions before the countdown expires, your fallen comrade is able to get right back into the thick of the Fortnite action and fight on towards that crowning achievement of a Victory Royale. 

This second chance for you team could help you turn a match around, though it's not the easiest process to pull off during a heated battle, which is why we've got all the details on how to do it and where to find Fortnite Reboot Vans to give you a fighting chance of redressing the balance.

How do Fortnite Reboot Vans work

When playing in a squad, downed teammates will drop a Reboot Card that you should snatch up ASAP. Once you've got their card, head on over to one of the many Fortnite Reboot Vans located near points of interest to get the respawn process started. You'll need to channel at the van for a short duration in order to trigger the respawn – and once you do, its alarm will blare out and a giant beam will shoot into the sky for all to see.

Fortnite brings dead players back to life by teleporting them onto the Reboot Van's roof one by one, without any of their previous items. Interestingly, the Fortnite Reboot Van will need to cool down before you or any other squad can use it again, so you can't spam respawns if enemies are taking potshots at your newly reborn teammates.
