Reality Augments are "perks" that have been available since the beginning of Chapter 4. These are combat-oriented bonuses that players can earn during their rounds. They provide tactical buffs and allow players to specialize in specific roles during a match.

Depending on the type of perk you choose, you can heal your comrades more easily, provide tactical support, or become a force of nature in battle.

All you really have to do to collect reality augments is to stay in the game. The longer you survive, the more reality augments you can earn during a match. However, only four perks can be used at a time. If you choose them, they will remain until the end of the round.

Since they're randomly distributed, you'll need to re-roll them with gold bars to get the reality augments you want. Once the game ends, all perks will be reset and removed.
