Fortnite OG brings players back to the roots of Battle Royale, transporting them to the nostalgic world of Fortnite 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.
Fortnite's diverse array of weapons and items includes both essential and less effective options. In Fortnite OG, understanding the loot pool is vital, especially as the game progresses through Chapter 1 Season 1 into Season 2 and beyond, where the introduction of different weapons will significantly impact the meta.
All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles
With the return of hitscan weapons, Assault Rifles in Fortnite OG are more satisfying than ever. However, some weapons suffer from unpredictable bloom, making the Assault Rifle the preferred choice, particularly since the Scoped Assault Rifle's scope doesn't accurately reflect bullet trajectory:

The Assault Rifle is the go-to weapon in Fortnite OG due to its manageable bloom, ample magazine size, and solid damage output. Its reliability across all combat ranges makes it an essential item in every player's inventory, especially the rare golden scar variant.

The Scoped Assault Rifle, alongside the two Sniper Rifles, offers first-person aiming in Fortnite OG. Although the scope provides an advantage with hitscan, the bullets often deviate from the crosshair, resulting in missed shots and frustrating gameplay.
All Fortnite OG Shotguns
Shotguns are pivotal in the Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 1 meta due to their high damage and rapid firing rate, making them ideal for close-quarters combat. The Double Pump technique can lead to quick victories:

All Fortnite OG Pistols
