Quick Links

Fortnite OG brings a wave of nostalgia to Battle Royale, transporting players back to the roots of Fortnite Chapter 1, Season 1. In this mode, you'll find yourself navigating the OG map with an OG loot pool, making it crucial to understand the weapons and items at your disposal as you strive for victory in this nostalgic setting.

With an array of both essential and less effective weapons and items, keeping an eye on the Fortnite OG loot pool is key, especially as you progress beyond Chapter 1 Season 1 into subsequent seasons where the meta shifts with the return of various weapons.

All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles

The return of hitscan weapons in Fortnite OG makes Assault Rifles a joy to use. However, the bloom on some weapons can be challenging, so it's wise to rely on the standard Assault Rifle, especially given the Scoped Assault Rifle's misleading scope:

The Assault Rifle is the go-to weapon in Fortnite OG due to its manageable bloom, ample magazine capacity, and solid damage output. It's a must-have in your inventory for its reliability across all combat ranges, particularly when you can get your hands on the rare golden scar.

The Scoped Assault Rifle, alongside the Sniper Rifles, offers the only first-person aiming option in Fortnite OG. However, its scope can be misleading as bullets often stray from the crosshair, leading to missed shots.

All Fortnite OG Shotguns

Shotguns are pivotal in the Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 1 meta, known for their high damage and rapid fire rate, making them ideal for close-quarters combat. The Double Pump technique can lead to near-instant victories:

All Fortnite OG Pistols
