Fortnite Battle Royale is taking players on a nostalgic journey back to the original Island in its latest update, Chapter 4 Season OG. This season, aptly titled “Fortnite OG,” aims to recreate memorable moments from the game’s history. Each significant update will spotlight a different era, kicking off with Chapter 1 Season 5. Players can look forward to the return of classic elements such as Shopping Carts, ATKs, the Assault Rifle, and the Pump Shotgun, among others, available in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.
Relive Your Favorite Moments
Iconic Weapons
As players travel back in time, they will experience a seasonal progression where iconic gear will be reintroduced. Some of the items returned from the vault may be temporary for a specific update, while others might be integrated into multiple updates or become permanent fixtures in Fortnite OG. Players can relive their Victory Royales in classic style, wielding beloved weapons from throughout Chapter 1.
OG Map Changes
Fans will revisit familiar locations, like the notorious Loot Lake Darkness from Season 6, reigniting the nostalgia of their early Fortnite experiences. Epic Games promises a steady transformation of the map, with beloved Points of Interest (POIs) refreshed weekly. This continuous evolution allows players to showcase their skills and score impressive headshots while enjoying the classic landscape.
The OG Battle Pass
This season introduces the Fortnite OG Pass, which features a shorter list of rewards and fewer skins than usual. While this may seem unusual to newcomers, long-time players will recognize the four skins included in this season’s pass:
- Lil Split
- Spectra Knight
- Omegarok
- Renegade Lynx
Alongside these new characters, players can also find various cosmetics, including loading screens, back bling, gliders, and other classic Fortnite extras. Priced at 950 V-Bucks, the pass may deter some players due to the limited rewards. However, those interested can opt for a one-month subscription to Fortnite Crew for $11, which will grant access to both the OG Pass and the upcoming battle pass scheduled for release at the end of November, marking the start of Chapter 5 Season 1.
The Fortnite OG Shop
Players can spend their hard-earned V-Bucks on memorable cosmetics in the new shop, which will feature both nostalgic items and fresh additions. Regularly checking the shop is crucial to snag rare items, as this may be the last chance to acquire them. Recent leaks hint at the potential arrival of Stranger Things skins for characters like Eleven and Steve Harrington. This raises the possibility of the long-awaited return of the Sheriff Hopper and Demogorgon skins, both considered among the rarest items in Fortnite.
Free Back Bling and Changes to Fortnite Ranked
Competitive players will find exciting developments this season, as the ranked mode undergoes adjustments to enhance gameplay and allow for quicker progression through the ranks. Climbing the ranked ladder will be easier, enabling players to reach the top more efficiently.
Additionally, players who complete Ranked Urgent Quests will have the opportunity to earn brand-new cosmetic rewards, including the Ranker’s Tags back bling and more, as they advance through the quests.
Conclusion
Chapter 4 Season OG of Fortnite Battle Royale promises an exhilarating blend of nostalgia and innovative gameplay. With the return of classic weapons, evolving map changes, and a revamped battle pass, players can look forward to an unforgettable experience that bridges the past with the present in the Fortnite universe.
