Fortnite Siphon Buffs restore health to the empowered player when they damage them, and also provide some shields if they’re already at max health. What causes the siphon effect to trigger specifically will depend on Fortnite Enhancements, but this is a good effect for players who play particularly aggressively or are generally low in health. Below we’ll go into more detail about how Fortnite Siphon Augments work and what specific Siphon Reality Augments you can find in-game at the time of writing this post.
What is Siphon in Fortnite?
Siphon in Fortnite is an effect that gives the player some health or shield in exchange for dealing damage with a Siphon weapon. This is similar to the “lifesteal” effects in certain games, but the amount restored doesn’t change based on how much damage you deal in Fortnite – a bullet that deals 100 damage and a bullet that deals 10 are both the same amount of health or shields, at least until now. based on what we’ve seen in-game.

It’s important to clarify that this is different from older versions that depend on Siphon mechanics. killsIt’s not just damage in Fortnite. However, now it’s time to injure an enemy – as we’ve seen, you don’t have to fire a lethal shot to start restoring health and defense. However, we don’t know if this will remain the same for now due to some technical glitches that we’ll cover below.
The siphon can be obtained at the time of writing through either of these two Augments:
- Shotgun Striker: Your shotgun fire gives you Siphon when you hit opponents.
- Rarity Check: Get Siphon in hunts with Common and Unusual weapons.
But right now it looks like Shotgun Striker Augment is actually disabled (thanks, HYPEX) due to a bug where the effect works not only on enemies but also on allies – meaning you can repeatedly hit your friends in the face while healing yourself without ever hurting them. Christ no. We don’t know when he’ll be back yet, but it probably won’t be for long.
