Fortnite OG: A Blast from the Past

Fortnite OG throws players back to the game's roots, offering a unique Battle Royale experience with the original Chapter 1, Season 1 map and loot pool. Mastering this original arsenal is key to success. The weapon and item meta differs substantially from later seasons, so understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each item is vital. Keep in mind that the progression beyond Chapter 1 Season 1 introduces returning weapons that will alter the gameplay significantly.

All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles

The return of hitscan weapons makes Assault Rifles potent in Fortnite OG. However, inconsistent bloom on some variants necessitates careful weapon selection.

Assault Rifle

This is the go-to Assault Rifle due to manageable bloom, ample magazine capacity, and solid damage output. Its reliability across various combat ranges makes it a staple inventory item. The legendary variant ("golden scar") is particularly powerful.

Burst Assault Rifle

The 3-round burst mechanic makes this weapon unreliable, especially considering its high bloom. Its inconsistent damage output makes it less desirable than the standard Assault Rifle.

Scoped Assault Rifle

This rifle, along with the Sniper Rifles, offers first-person aiming. Despite the reticle advantage, bullet inaccuracy makes it less effective than other options.

All Fortnite OG Shotguns

Shotguns are crucial in close-quarters combat due to their high damage and fast fire rate. The "double pump" technique (rapidly switching between two Pump Shotguns) was a dominant strategy.

Pump Shotgun

High headshot damage makes this a potent close-range weapon. The double pump strategy maximizes its effectiveness.

Tactical Shotgun

Its higher fire rate makes it a safer, more consistent option than the Pump Shotgun, though slightly lower damage.

All Fortnite OG Pistols

Pistols serve as early-game weapons, but generally aren't viable in the late game.

Semi-Auto Pistol

A common starting weapon, offering decent fire rate but limited damage and significant drop-off at range.

Revolver

This weapon boasts higher damage than the Semi-Auto Pistol, but its recoil and bloom can hinder accuracy.

All Fortnite OG SMGs

SMGs are effective at close range, but lack the damage output of shotguns and the range of other weapon types.

Suppressed Submachine Gun

This SMG offers superior performance compared to other SMG variants due to its suppressed fire and manageable damage falloff.

Tactical Submachine Gun

This SMG has less bloom but inconsistent fire rate, making it less reliable than the Suppressed Submachine Gun.

Submachine Gun

High fire rate is offset by poor accuracy and high ammo consumption. Not recommended for long-range engagements.

All Fortnite OG Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles require precise aim for effective headshots.

Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

High damage and headshot multiplier make this a powerful weapon, despite its single-shot magazine.

Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle

Faster fire rate and larger magazine compensate for slightly lower damage compared to the Bolt-Action variant.

All Fortnite OG Explosives

Explosives are crucial for destroying structures and eliminating opponents.

Rocket Launcher

High damage and splash radius make this a powerful weapon, although its slow fire rate and single-shot magazine require strategic use.

Grenade Launcher

Multiple grenades offer area-of-effect damage, useful for clearing structures and suppressing opponents.

Grenade

Simple, yet effective for destroying structures and flushing out opponents.

All Fortnite OG Traps

Traps offer defensive and offensive capabilities.

Launch Pad

Provides crucial mobility for escaping danger or reaching high ground.

Ceiling Zapper

Electrocutes players who pass beneath it.

Wall Dynamo

Similar to the Ceiling Zapper, but placed on walls.

Damage Trap

Deals damage to players who trigger it.

Directional Jump Pad

Offers horizontal or vertical movement to negate fall damage.

All Fortnite OG Consumables/Items

Consumables are essential for healing and survival.

Bandage

Provides quick healing, but only up to 75 health.

Med Kit

Restores 100 health, but use is interrupted by actions.

Shield Potion

Restores 50 shield.

Slurp Juice

Restores both health and shield.

Bush
