Fortnite OG brings players back to the nostalgic roots of Battle Royale, revisiting the iconic Chapter 1, Season 1. This mode features the original map and loot pool, making it crucial for players to familiarize themselves with the available weapons and items as they navigate their way to victory in this throwback experience.
Fortnite's diverse arsenal includes both essential and less effective weapons and items. As players progress beyond Chapter 1, Season 1 into Season 2 and beyond, the returning weapons will significantly influence the game's meta, making it vital to stay updated on the Fortnite OG loot pool.
With the reintroduction of hitscan weapons, Assault Rifles in Fortnite OG feel more satisfying than ever. However, the bloom on some weapons can be challenging, making the standard Assault Rifle the go-to choice, especially since the Scoped Assault Rifle's scope often misaligns with the bullet trajectory:

The Assault Rifle stands out as the quintessential weapon in Fortnite OG due to its manageable bloom, ample magazine capacity, and solid damage output. It's a must-have in any player's inventory, offering reliability across all combat ranges, particularly when equipped with the rare golden scar.

The Scoped Assault Rifle, alongside the Sniper Rifles, offers the unique ability to aim in first-person in Fortnite OG. However, its reticle often misleads players as bullets stray from the crosshair, making it a challenging weapon to use effectively.
Shotguns are pivotal in the Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 1 meta, known for their high damage and rapid fire rate, making them ideal for close-quarters combat. The Double Pump technique can lead to near-instant victories:

The Tactical Shotgun offers a safer alternative with its higher fire rate, allowing players to quickly empty its magazine. Its 2.5x headshot multiplier makes it lethal at close range.
