Fortnite’s Chapter 7 Season 4, Override, went live on August 20, 2026, and it introduced a new class of item that changes how fights end: Power-Ups. These aren’t chest loot or floor spawns. They’re rare, high-impact items that can bring you back from a knockout or turn you into a temporary wrecking ball, and Epic Games has built an entire Battle Pass quest around finding them.
That quest, “Acquire Power Ups,” asks for eight total pickups, and the community has already flagged it as one of the toughest objectives of the season because Power-Ups don’t spawn on demand. Getting there requires knowing exactly where to look and, just as importantly, which items actually count toward the quest.
Here’s every confirmed way to get a Power-Up in Fortnite right now, what each one does, and how to avoid wasting matches chasing items that don’t progress the quest.
What Are Power-Ups in Fortnite Override?
Power-Ups are a new item tier added in the v42.00 Override update. Epic Games’ official patch notes describe them as high-value pickups tied to survival and destruction rather than damage output. Unlike weapons or shields, they don’t appear in standard floor loot or regular chests. As of now, two Power-Ups are confirmed live in Override.
1. 1-Up Token
- Effect: Respawn with your full inventory intact after being eliminated
- Category: Survival Power-Up
- Quest relevance: Counts toward the Acquire Power Ups quest
The 1-Up Token is the strongest survival item added this season. Most revival mechanics in past Fortnite seasons cost you your loot on death. This one doesn’t. You come back with weapons, shields, and materials exactly as you had them.
2. God Mode Llama
- Effect: Temporary invulnerability paired with heavy destructive power, described by Epic as becoming an “Unstoppable Wrecking Ball”
- Category: Combat Power-Up
- Quest relevance: Does not currently count toward the Acquire Power Ups quest
The effect is short-lived, so treat it as an escape or aggression tool rather than a permanent shield. Epic hasn’t published an exact duration, so timing your push carefully still matters.
How to Acquire Power-Ups in Fortnite
Three methods are currently confirmed, and they apply mainly to the 1-Up Token.
- Defeating a boss. Bosses spawn around the island, typically after the first storm circle closes, and have a chance to drop a 1-Up Token on death. Drop rates aren’t officially published, so treat every boss fight as a chance rather than a guarantee.
- Call in a Llama Supply Drop. Use the Gizmo wheel to summon a boosted, llama-themed Supply Drop at your location. Loot from these drops carries a noticeably higher chance of containing a Power-Up than standard chests, though it can still take multiple drops to land one.
- Claim an Override Console and land the Extra Life hack. Override Consoles are scattered across the map. Claiming one broadcasts your squad’s location to the lobby but lets you trigger a server-wide Match Hack, and the Extra Life hack functions the same way as picking up a 1-Up Token directly.
Because the Extra Life hack alerts every player nearby to your position, weigh the risk before claiming a console in the open.
The Acquire Power Ups Quest, Explained
The quest itself is straightforward on paper: collect eight Power-Ups across any number of matches. In practice, only the 1-Up Token currently progresses the counter. Other Override-era items with similar names, including the Sonic Power Sneakers and the Mega Buster, don’t count, and neither does the God Mode Llama despite technically being a Power-Up.
That distinction is why the counter appears “stuck” for a lot of players. Focus exclusively on 1-Up Tokens rather than every new item you see, and don’t worry about clearing all eight in one match. Progress carries across your entire season, so a steady grind of boss fights and Llama Supply Drops each session adds up faster than forcing it in a single run.
Power-Ups vs. Sprites and Overrides: What’s the Difference
Override season stacks three separate collectible systems, and mixing them up wastes time. Power-Ups (1-Up Token, God Mode Llama) are combat items you pick up mid-match. Match Hacks, claimed through Override Consoles, are temporary server-wide rule changes like Sonic Speed or Constant Heal that affect everyone in the lobby, not just you. Sprites are a third, older system entirely: collectible companions with passive abilities that carry over between matches rather than resetting on elimination.
Knowing which bucket an item falls into saves you from misreading quest text or expecting a Sprite ability to behave like a Power-Up.
Final Thoughts
Power-Ups add real stakes to Override’s late-game fights, and the difficulty of the Acquire Power Ups quest suggests Epic wants players actively hunting bosses and consoles rather than passively looting. With more Override content confirmed for the rest of the season, it seems likely additional Power-Up types could join the 1-Up Token and God Mode Llama before Chapter 7 Season 4 wraps.
A Power-Up is a rare item introduced in Chapter 7 Season 4: Override that grants a major survival or combat advantage. The two confirmed Power-Ups are the 1-Up Token and the God Mode Llama.
The Acquire Power Ups quest requires eight total pickups. Only the 1-Up Token currently counts toward that total.
No. Despite being classified as a Power-Up, the God Mode Llama does not progress the quest counter as of August 24, 2026.
1-Up Tokens come from three sources: defeating bosses, opening Llama Supply Drops called in via the Gizmo wheel, and triggering the Extra Life Match Hack at an Override Console.
Yes. Power-Ups are combat items picked up mid-match, while Sprites are collectible companions with passive abilities carried across matches. They’re separate systems introduced in different updates.
