It’s once again time to experience nostalgia in Fortnite. Since Epic Games’ battle royale was released in 2017, this game has revolutionized the concept of battle royale with its colorful world and unique gameplay style. The initial seasons of this game have contributed the most in creating its global fanbase. However, loads of newcomers have missed those golden seasons of the game. So, Epic Games has taken an innovative decision to make those chapters relive in the contemporary time.
Fortnite OG has been going on for some time already. Here, Epic Games seamlessly blends nostalgia with fresh content. This time, Fortnite OG is making a triumphant return with Chapter 1 Season 3. This comeback will reintroduce fan-favorite features from the 2018 era to the latest Fortnite season.
The first thing that the official announcement has highlighted is the return of the 50v50 Limited-Time Mode (LTM). This mode is making a return as OG 50v50. It was first introduced in 2017, and in this chaotic mode, two teams, each containing 50 players, used to compete against each other in large-scale battles. This 50v50 mode mostly emphasizes teamwork and proper strategies. Once again, veterans, as well as the newcomers, will experience the thrill of massive team clashes, bringing back the vibe of the early days of the battle royale. Note that this mode will be available until April 14 at 9 AM ET.
The next thing that is making its way back after years is the iconic Lucky Landing poi. It was one of the most beloved points of interest in Chapter 1 Season 3, and once again it has made a comeback to offer players a familiar yet thrilling combat experience. The most interesting part of this location is that it used to be renowned for stunning aesthetics and abundant loot. Apart from that, the compact design of the location encourages close-range battles.
Fortnite without weapons is unimaginable. Surviving on a map where all 99 players are enemies is kind of impossible without potent weapons. Therefore, the Fortnite OG is bringing some iconic weapons from Chapter 1 Season 3 to enrich the gameplay experience. This includes:
Guided Missile: This weapon is returning for the first time since 2018. It allows players to remotely control a rocket and shoot it.
Hand Cannon: The name already says what this weapon is. It is a powerful sidearm that provides a high damage rate with precision.
Hunting Rifle: This is a kind of sniper rifle that offers significant damage from a distance.
Remote Explosives: This is an explosive that can be detonated strategically.
Heavy Shotgun: This shotgun is an effective mid-range weapon with its precise slug.
Port-A-Fort: That’s a defensive item that creates immediate cover for some seconds when activated.
Light Machine Gun: Light Machine Guns aren’t something new. So, players are aware that it is useful for suppressed fire and breaking through enemy builds.
Clingers: These strictly explosive hits on the surface cause massive blasts.
These are not the only things. Aside from them, there are Supply Llamas, and Vending Machines are also part of the game to offer players a diverse range of tools and strategies.
Fortnite Battle Pass has been an integral part of the game from the very beginning, and the new season is bringing an OG Pass that will feature 45 tiers of rewards inspired by the classic Battle Pass of Chapter 1 Season 3. So, here are the iconic outfits one can get from this Battle Pass:
Power Punk: Power Punk will be instantly claimable once the Battle Pass is purchased. This outfit comes with a helmet that players can toggle on and off according to their wish.
Mecha R3X: This one is the mechanized version of the fan-favorite Rex outfit, and the official announcement says it will drive enemies to extinction.
Sir Raven: This is a dark and stormy knight version of the enigmatic Raven skin.
As per the current news, the OG Pass is available at 1000 V-Bucks. Otherwise, Fortnite Crew members can access it to get both the standard and premium rewards.
That’s everything one should know about the Fortnite OG's return with Chapter 1 Season 3. This OG season is masterfully combining fan-favorite elements with innovative content to offer players a rich and engaging gameplay experience.
