Fortnite OG transports players back to the nostalgic roots of Battle Royale, recreating the iconic Chapter 1, Season 1 experience. This mode features the original map and a classic loot pool, making it crucial for players to familiarize themselves with the weapons and items available as they navigate through this nostalgic journey.
Understanding the Fortnite OG loot pool is vital, as the game progresses from Chapter 1 Season 1 to Season 2 and beyond, introducing different returning weapons that will alter the meta significantly.
All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles
With the resurgence of hitscan weapons, Assault Rifles in Fortnite OG have regained their former glory. However, the bloom on some weapons can be challenging, making the standard Assault Rifle the go-to choice, especially since the Scoped Assault Rifle's scope often misaligns with bullet trajectory.
