Quick Links
Fortnite OG brings players back to the nostalgic roots of Battle Royale, revisiting the iconic Chapter 1, Season 1. This mode features the original map and loot pool, making it crucial for players to familiarize themselves with the weapons and items available as they navigate their way to victory in this nostalgic setting.
Fortnite offers a mix of essential and less useful weapons and items, and understanding the Fortnite OG loot pool is key, especially as the game progresses through subsequent seasons where new weapons will alter the gameplay meta.
All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles
With the return of hitscan weapons, Assault Rifles in Fortnite OG provide a satisfying shooting experience. However, the bloom of some weapons can be challenging, making the standard Assault Rifle the go-to choice, particularly since the Scoped Assault Rifle's aim doesn't align perfectly with its bullet trajectory:

The Scoped Assault Rifle is one of the few weapons that allow first-person aiming in Fortnite OG. Despite its hitscan advantage, the misalignment between the reticle and bullet path makes it a challenging weapon to master.
All Fortnite OG Shotguns
Shotguns are vital in the Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 1 meta due to their high damage output and rapid fire rate, dominating close-quarters combat. The Double Pump strategy can secure quick victories:
