Fortnite OG returns players to the original Chapter 1, Season 1 map and loot pool. Mastering the unique weapons and items is key to victory in this nostalgic Battle Royale experience. The weapon meta is distinct, with some weapons proving more effective than others.

All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles

Assault Rifles are powerful in Fortnite OG, but bloom can be problematic. The standard Assault Rifle is generally preferred over the others.

Assault Rifle

The Assault Rifle's manageable bloom, ample magazine, and solid damage make it a reliable choice at all ranges.

Burst Assault Rifle

The Burst Assault Rifle's three-round burst and high bloom make it less reliable.

Scoped Assault Rifle

The Scoped Assault Rifle's bullet trajectory inconsistencies detract from its first-person aiming advantage.

All Fortnite OG Shotguns

Shotguns are dominant in close-range combat due to their high damage output and rapid fire rate. The "double pump" strategy is particularly effective.

Pump Shotgun

The Pump Shotgun's high headshot multiplier allows for quick eliminations. The double pump technique maximizes its effectiveness.

Tactical Shotgun

The Tactical Shotgun's higher fire rate makes it a safer, albeit less powerful, option.

All Fortnite OG Pistols

Pistols are generally early-game weapons, useful for initial encounters but less effective in the late game.

Semi-Auto Pistol

A common starting weapon with a high fire rate but significant damage falloff.

Revolver

The Revolver delivers high damage but suffers from significant recoil.

All Fortnite OG SMGs

SMGs excel in close-range encounters but lack the damage and range to compete with other weapon types at longer distances.

Suppressed Submachine Gun

The Suppressed SMG offers superior range compared to other SMGs.

Tactical Submachine Gun

Inconsistent fire rate limits its effectiveness.

Submachine Gun

High fire rate but poor accuracy.

All Fortnite OG Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles require precise aim for effective headshots.

Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

High damage but slow fire rate and single-shot magazine.

Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle

Faster fire rate but lower damage per shot.

All Fortnite OG Explosives

Explosives are crucial for destroying structures and eliminating opponents.

Rocket Launcher

High damage and structure destruction capability.

Grenade Launcher

Multiple grenades for area denial.
