What are Overrides in Fortnite?

Overrides are server-wide rule changes you can enact by interacting with special Consoles around the Fortnite island. You have to be the first one to the Console to make it happen, and once you trigger an Override, your name is displayed on the Console base so everyone knows who activated the island-wide shift.
If you enact a Rare or Mythic Override, the effects only apply to you and your teammates. When these special, more powerful changes are triggered, your entire squad’s location will be revealed on the map to other players.
Every Override is unique, so what exactly happens to the island varies depending on which one you activate. Some of the possible effects you can trigger include increased XP gain from eliminations, boosted sprint speed over time, infinite stamina, faster fire and reload time for weapons, and turning all fishing spots golden.

You can find Override Consoles on the island by looking for a special Console icon displayed on your map. While exploring, keep an eye on your mini map in the upper right corner. If you spot a special, animated Console icon, you’ve found the Override Console, and can then swiftly make your way to it to trigger a special new set of rules for the entire island.
