Fortnite Update Enhances OG Battle Royale with Fan-Requested Additions

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. This follows a recent hotfix for the OG mode, which also reinstated classic items like the Cluster Clinger. Meanwhile, the annual Winterfest event continues, offering event quests, unique items such as Icy Feet and the Blizzard Grenade, and exciting skins featuring Mariah Carey and other iconic characters.

Fortnite's Winterfest celebration blankets the island in snow, offering players festive quests and rewards from the Cozy Cabin. Premium skins, including Mariah Carey, Santa Dogg, and Santa Shaq, are also available. Beyond Winterfest, Fortnite boasts collaborations with Cyberpunk 2077, Batman Ninja, and more. The OG mode also receives attention.

A recent hotfix for Fortnite's OG mode marks the return of the Launch Pad, a Chapter 1, Season 1 favorite. This classic traversal tool, predating other mobility options, allows players aerial maneuvers for strategic advantages or escapes.

Fortnite Revives Classic Weapons and Items

• Launch Pad
• Hunting Rifle
• Cluster Clinger

The Hunting Rifle (originally from Chapter 3) also makes a comeback, providing long-range combat capabilities, particularly appreciated given the absence of sniper rifles in Chapter 6, Season 1. Cluster Clingers (Chapter 5) return to both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

Fortnite's OG mode has been a resounding success, attracting 1.1 million players within its first two hours. Alongside the mode, an OG Item Shop launched, offering classic skins and items for purchase. The return of ultra-rare skins like the Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper has, however, sparked mixed reactions among players.
