Fortnite OG: A Journey Back in Time

The theme of Fortnite OG is a trip down memory lane as players return to the original island and experience iconic moments from the game's past. Each major update during the season introduces different elements from previous chapters, starting with Chapter 1 Season 5. This means the return of classic items and weapons like Shopping Carts, ATKs, the Assault Rifle, Pump Shotgun, and many more, available in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

  • Tilted Towers, an iconic location from Season 2, is back.
  • Season 5's All Terrain Karts, weapons, and more return.
  • Season 6's weapons and vehicles like the Quadcrasher and Mounted Turret are unvaulted.
  • Flint-Knock Pistol, Minigun, and more weapons are making a return.
  • Heavy Sniper Rifle, Proximity Grenade Launcher, and more are back.

Run It Back with the OG Pass and OG Item Shop

Fortnite OG introduces the OG Pass, packed with over 50 new in-game items, which can be unlocked in just four weeks. The OG Pass is purchasable for 950 V-Bucks and even comes as part of the Fortnite Crew subscription.

The OG Shop takes a step back in time, offering classic, mashup, and fresh items for a limited time. A new curated selection appears in the Shop daily, giving players the chance to grab nostalgic items.

Chapter 4 Season OG Ranked

With each new season, player ranks are reset to provide a fresh start. In Fortnite OG, only one ranked match is needed to reveal your rank. Performance in this first match doesn't determine initial rank placement.

Faster Rank Progression in Fortnite OG

To accommodate the shorter Fortnite OG season, rank progression is faster at the higher and middle ranks. Players are penalized less for early eliminations, and progression is quicker for players in the Bronze ranks.

Fortnite fans are in for a season filled with nostalgia and exciting gameplay, making Chapter 4 Season OG an epic journey through the game's past.
