If you’re an active player, you’ll see returning/new friends you can party up with to complete Reboot Rally Quests and Bonus Goals. If you’re a returning/new player, you’ll see active friends and fellow returning/new friends you can party up with to complete the Quests and Bonus Goals.

Party up with one, two, or three friends (or more friends if the selected Fortnite experience supports it) so you can complete Reboot Rally Quests and Bonus Goals together. These Quests and Bonus Goals are findable in Fortnite’s “Quests” tab. Quests and Bonus Goals don’t need to be completed with the same friend(s), so feel free to mix and match which eligible friend(s) you party up with.

As you complete the Reboot Rally Quests and Bonus Goals together, you and your participating friend(s) will earn points. Collect points to earn in-game rewards! You can keep track of your points and the rewards you can earn in the Quests tab.

Can I complete the Reboot Rally Quests and Bonus Goals on my own?
No, the Reboot Rally Quests and Bonus Goals cannot be completed on your own, as they involve playing with returning/new friends (if you’re an active player or another returning/new player) or active friends (if you’re a returning/new player).
What's the difference between a Reboot Rally Quest and Reboot Rally Bonus Goal?
Reboot Rally Quests remain for the duration of Reboot Rally, while Reboot Rally Bonus Goals are objectives that refresh each day for the duration of Reboot Rally. Bonus Goals provide an additional opportunity to earn points.
If I have a party totaling 3+ players, can they be a mix of returning/new players and active players?
If you have a party totaling 3+ players, you can complete Reboot Rally Quests and Bonus Goals as long as at least one player is an eligible returning/new player in your friends list.

If you’re an eligible returning/new player, just party up with any player in your friends list and complete Reboot Rally Quests and Bonus Goals to earn points, no matter their status! You can also go to the Reboot Rally panel to “rally” friends — meaning you’ll be presented a QR code for fn.gg/rebootrally. Share fn.gg/rebootrally with your friends so they can learn more about Reboot Rally!
Do I need to “rally” friends to participate in Reboot Rally with them?
Rallying a friend is required to complete one of the Quest chains, but for the other Quest chain, all you need to do is earn XP with a returning/new friend in your party (if you’re an active player or another returning/new player) or an active friend in your party (if you’re a returning/new player) in Battle Royale, Zero Build, Team Rumble, Save the World, or any creator-made experience except those made using Unreal Editor for Fortnite.
Why do some of my friends not appear in my Reboot Rally-eligible friends list?
Friends who have not logged into Fortnite recently and have yet to update their account information may not show up in your Reboot Rally-eligible friends list. If they are eligible to participate, they will appear as eligible in your friends list once they log back in and update their account information.
Are the Reboot Rally reward items exclusive?
The Reboot Rally reward items are not exclusive, and they may become purchasable in the Item Shop or otherwise made available at a later date.
