Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 has added plenty of ways to revive yourself and your allies once they're knocked down, allowing new strategies to evolve on the battlefield.
One of the coolest additions of the new season is the introduction of the self-revive item. Whether you're out of help from your buddies or playing solo, this item allows you to revive yourself. The Reboot Van has also been given a major tweak, which changes how they used to work.

How to self-revive in Fortnite
To revive yourself in Fortnite, you'll need to find something called a Self-Revive device. This device doesn't have a fixed location, and they're typically obtained from regular chests. You can also find one from the Supply Drops sent by the Rift Anomaly Care Package. I have also found them from Mending Machines, but they're very expensive.
Once you've added the item to your inventory, it will stay there until you're knocked out. You can't equip it beforehand, and the object also doesn't occupy any space. When you're knocked, you'll get the option to revive yourself.
While the revival takes time to complete, you can roll yourself to a safe distance. This is tough if the enemy chooses to track you. You'll revive with just 30 HP, so try to heal yourself as quickly as possible.
If you're in a squad, you can also revive yourself with the help of the Reboot Vans.
How to use a Reboot Van in Fortnite
Some of the Reboot Vans in Chapter 7, Season 1 are completely drivable. However, you can buy a Reboot Card of a downed ally and use it to reboot them when the van isn't moving. You can also self-revive by entering the back of the van or having a teammate throw you when you're down.
If you choose to opt for this method, the van doesn't have to be stationary. Once you're healed, you can sit on any of the free seats. The Reboot Vans not only allow you to recover, but you can also move with your team around the map. If the van has clamps instead of wheels, it can't be driven (however, it can still be used as a regular Reboot Van).
