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 loot pool, making it crucial for players to familiarize themselves with the available weapons and items to thrive in this nostalgic setting.
In Fortnite OG, the loot pool plays a pivotal role, especially as the game progresses beyond Chapter 1, Season 1 into Season 2 and beyond, where returning weapons will continuously alter the meta.
All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles
With the resurgence of hitscan weapons, Assault Rifles have never felt more satisfying in Fortnite OG. However, some weapons suffer from bloom, making the Assault Rifle the top choice, particularly since the Scoped Assault Rifle's scope often misaligns with the bullet trajectory.
