Fortnite Update Unveils Return of Beloved Items

Fortnite's latest update delivers a nostalgic blast from the past, reintroducing beloved items like the Hunting Rifle and Launch Pad. This follows a recent hotfix for the OG mode, which also brings back the classic Cluster Clinger. The festive Winterfest event continues, offering event quests, unique items such as Icy Feet and the Blizzard Grenade, and exciting skins featuring Mariah Carey and other holiday-themed characters.

Fortnite's Winterfest event blankets the island in snow, adding festive quests and items. Players can earn rewards from the Cozy Cabin and acquire premium skins, including Mariah Carey, Santa Dogg, and Santa Shaq. Beyond the holiday cheer, Fortnite boasts new collaborations with Cyberpunk 2077, Batman Ninja, and more. The OG mode also receives attention.

A recent hotfix for Fortnite's OG mode marks the triumphant return of the Launch Pad, a Chapter 1, Season 1 favorite. This classic traversal tool, predating other movement options, allowed players to gain a tactical advantage or make a swift escape.

Fortnite Revives Classic Weapons and Items

• Launch Pad
• Hunting Rifle
• Cluster Clinger

The Launch Pad isn't the only returning item; the Hunting Rifle (originally from Chapter 3) provides long-range combat capabilities, especially appreciated given the absence of sniper rifles in Chapter 6, Season 1. Chapter 5's Cluster Clingers also make a comeback, appearing in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

The success of Fortnite OG is undeniable, with 1.1 million players joining in the first two hours of its launch. An accompanying OG Item Shop offers classic skins and items for purchase. However, the reintroduction of ultra-rare skins like the Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper has sparked mixed reactions among players.
