Fortnite's latest update brings back beloved items! This includes the return of fan-favorite gear like the Hunting Rifle and Launch Pad. A recent hotfix for the OG mode also reintroduces classic items such as the Cluster Clinger. Meanwhile, Winterfest continues to offer event quests, festive items (Icy Feet and Blizzard Grenade), and exciting skins featuring Mariah Carey and other collaborations.
Fortnite's Winterfest event blankets the island in snow, offering event quests and unique items. Players can earn rewards from the Cozy Cabin and premium skins like Mariah Carey, Santa Dogg, and Santa Shaq. Beyond Winterfest, collaborations with Cyberpunk 2077 and Batman Ninja add to the excitement. The OG mode also receives updates.
A recent Fortnite hotfix, while small, is a big deal for long-time players. The OG mode welcomes back Launch Pads, a Chapter 1, Season 1 classic. These provided essential traversal before other movement options, offering strategic advantages.
Fortnite's Revival of Classic Weapons and Items
- Launch Pad
- Hunting Rifle
- Cluster Clinger
The Hunting Rifle (originally from Chapter 3) and Cluster Clingers (Chapter 5) also make a comeback, available in both Battle Royale and Zero Build. The Hunting Rifle offers long-range combat options, especially appreciated with the absence of sniper rifles in Chapter 6, Season 1.
Fortnite OG's popularity is undeniable, attracting 1.1 million players within two hours of its launch. An accompanying OG Item Shop offers classic skins and items for purchase. However, the return of ultra-rare skins like the Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper has sparked mixed reactions among players.
