Fortnite OG brings players back to the roots of Battle Royale, revisiting the iconic Chapter 1, Season 1 from 7 years ago. This nostalgic mode features the original map and loot pool, making it crucial for players to familiarize themselves with the available weapons and items to dominate in this throwback environment.
Fortnite's array of weapons and items ranges from essential to situational, and understanding the Fortnite OG loot pool is key, especially as the game progresses through Chapter 1 Season 1 and beyond, introducing new weapons that will alter the meta.
All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles
With the return of hitscan weapons, Assault Rifles in Fortnite OG feel more satisfying than ever. However, the bloom on some weapons can be challenging, making the Assault Rifle the go-to choice, particularly when the Scoped Assault Rifle's scope doesn't align with the bullet trajectory:
