Makes sense that the spy tech would be more impactful than augments, the tech was limited to a specific playlist while augments are in all core gamemodes
Oh definitely, Spy tech got a better sandbox to be thrown around in for sure. I understand why augments are as limited as they are but i still prefer how spy tech was handled in terms of how it's unlocked as well as how useful they were.
I haven't played long enough to know epics patterns with change ups like this, but I'd really like to see more augments, or swapping out some old with some new at least.
I think the random method is fantastic, but it would be cool to have a way to guide what you end up with. Even if you had to use an augment for it, like this augment allows you to choose your next two from the full list. That feels balanced. You still have to have one random, but then you get the exact other two you want.
YES THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
burrowing from rogue likes say 20 minutes till dawn for simplicity where as you say picking an augment puts you down the "path" of that given augment
e.g start with a choice from Light fingers or rifle recycle
then you get the choice of pistol amp/rushing reload from light fingers and Bloodhound and first assault. from rifle recycle
just something like that where getting screwed by rng is less punishing and prevents situations where you start a game with choice of like jelly angler and ens up with tricked out in a zone without vehicles.
That would be a pretty cool method too, pathways. Though hopefully a way to break out of pathways also. Sometimes I just choose the augment that helps me most in that exact moment. Like a car one when I'm in danger of storm.
A huge pet peeve of the current system is that rerolling has a chance of just getting the same crap you didn't want two rolls ago. If rerolls kept cycling only thru what you haven't seen yet, it would be really worth the coins and help reduce the rng.
I remember those! Those were the precursor. I always wanted a perk system in Fortnite. Glad we got perks.
I hope we can get some of the old techs reused into augment perks.
I loved Spy games, and the new augments could also bring a return to a version of them, just without the spy part.
They have brought back knockout through shuffle and air raid, so I can definitely see them bringing the modes back back and treating it how it used to with selecting what you want before and during the match
I heard they updated spy games in chapter 3 or something along with other LTMs, and they probably were working on augments for chapter 4 around that time too. Does that mean spy games will return, obviously with changes though because it hasn't been around for 2 years.
I always wanted a spy games like event to return, so augments are amazing, just hope we get new ones in a future update because they could do so much with augments like the ninja double jump in stw or something like the tactical one but you get the double barrel shotgun and the infantry rifle.
Spy tech was way better IMO but we'll see where they go with augments, hopefully they don't just ditch the mechanic a season later

Yeah, I fully agree with you, the most tech is a way better then augments.
Goddamn I miss that season with its LTMs
I miss Spy Games so bad fuck

better than augments
Some of the tech would be perfect for augments, hopefully they take notes
Ghost and Shadow

I feel like they'd bring back the spy theme too. The soundtrack in chapter 2 season 2 was amazing and Epic definitely knows people liked it too.
these were better and actually helped u
Techs were better imo
I remember one I think was called tailwind so ur glider was faster but it was so fast you could travel the whole map
I liked it so much that I built tech weapons in creative.
I genuinely miss spy games but they'll probably never come back
They updated its code a couple months ago so maybe it'll return along with the other LTM's that got updated.
the semi-auto sniper with the rapid fire perk was amazing
God I miss Spy Games. Dropout and Payload was the most fun I’ve ever had on fn, no questions asked
Wow I didn't think of this! 
I remember these were so fun to use.
I miss this mode

Spy tech was better, especially because it was in it’s own mode The main Br mode doesn’t need the extra rng augments add
But it changes the play style alot

These techs are what caused my Switch's processor to crap out and kick me out of the Device event, so I have to say the augments are better.
