Fortnite OG throws players back to the very beginning of Battle Royale, recreating the thrill of Chapter 1, Season 1, seven years ago. This nostalgic mode features the original map and loot pool, making it crucial to understand the weapons and items available. Navigating this familiar yet challenging landscape requires knowledge of the OG arsenal, as the meta shifts with each subsequent season and the return of various weapons.

The Fortnite OG loot pool presents a mix of effective and less-than-stellar options. Understanding its contents is vital, especially as later seasons introduce returning weapons that can dramatically alter the game's dynamics.

All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles

The return of hitscan weapons makes Assault Rifles particularly potent in Fortnite OG. However, inconsistent bloom on some weapons can be problematic. The standard Assault Rifle is generally preferred, especially given the Scoped Assault Rifle's misaligned scope.

Assault Rifle

The Assault Rifle's manageable bloom, ample magazine capacity, and solid damage make it a reliable choice. Its effectiveness across various combat ranges ensures a place in any player's inventory, particularly the legendary variant.

Burst Assault Rifle

The Burst Assault Rifle's three-round burst and high bloom significantly impact its reliability, making it less desirable.

Scoped Assault Rifle

Despite the first-person aiming advantage, the Scoped Assault Rifle's inaccurate bullet trajectory renders it unreliable.

All Fortnite OG Shotguns

Shotguns are crucial in Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 1 due to their high damage output and fast firing speed, making them ideal for close-quarters combat. The "Double Pump" technique further amplifies their effectiveness.

Pump Shotgun

The Pump Shotgun's 2.5x headshot multiplier and the Double Pump strategy allow for quick eliminations.

Tactical Shotgun

The Tactical Shotgun's higher fire rate and 2.5x headshot multiplier make it a safer, albeit less powerful, alternative.

All Fortnite OG Pistols

Pistols serve as acceptable early-game weapons but are generally outclassed in later stages.

Semi-Auto Pistol

The Semi-Auto Pistol offers a high fire rate but suffers from significant damage falloff.

Revolver

The Revolver's strong damage is offset by its significant recoil and bloom.

All Fortnite OG SMGs

SMGs are effective at close range but lack the damage output of shotguns and struggle at longer distances.

Suppressed Submachine Gun

The Suppressed Submachine Gun's suppressive fire and damage falloff starting at 20 meters make it the most viable SMG option.

Tactical Submachine Gun

Inconsistent fire rate and short range limit the Tactical Submachine Gun's effectiveness.

Submachine Gun

High ammo consumption and inaccuracy hinder the Submachine Gun's overall performance.

All Fortnite OG Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles require precise aim for effective headshots.

Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle delivers high damage with a 2.5x headshot multiplier but has a single-shot magazine.

Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle

The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle boasts a faster fire rate and larger magazine but slightly lower damage.

All Fortnite OG Explosives

Explosives are powerful tools for destroying structures and eliminating opponents.

Rocket Launcher

High splash damage and structure damage make the Rocket Launcher highly effective despite its slow fire rate.

Grenade Launcher

The Grenade Launcher offers multiple projectiles for area denial.

Grenade

Grenades are effective for destroying structures and clearing cover.
