Fortnite's latest update brings back beloved items! The popular battle royale game has reintroduced fan-favorite gear, including the Hunting Rifle and Launch Pad, adding a nostalgic touch to gameplay. This follows a busy December for Epic Games, filled with new skins and the annual Winterfest event.
Winterfest returns with snowy landscapes, exciting quests, and new items like Icy Feet and the Blizzard Grenade. Players can also snag premium skins featuring Mariah Carey, Santa Dogg, and Santa Shaq, among others. Beyond the holiday festivities, Fortnite continues its collaborations, featuring Cyberpunk 2077, Batman Ninja, and more. The OG mode also receives attention.
A recent hotfix for Fortnite's OG mode brings back the highly anticipated Launch Pad, a Chapter 1 classic. This traversal tool, a staple before other mobility options, allows players to strategically reposition themselves or make quick escapes.
Classic Weapons and Items Return to Fortnite
- Launch Pad
- Hunting Rifle
- Cluster Clinger
The revival doesn't stop there! The Hunting Rifle (Chapter 3) and Cluster Clingers (Chapter 5) also make a comeback, available in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes. The Hunting Rifle offers long-range combat options, especially welcomed by players missing sniper rifles in Chapter 6, Season 1.
Fortnite OG's popularity is undeniable, attracting 1.1 million players within two hours of its launch. Alongside the mode, an OG Item Shop was launched, offering 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.
