Fortnite's latest update brings back beloved items! This exciting patch reintroduces fan-favorite gear, including the Hunting Rifle and Launch Pad, adding a nostalgic touch to the gameplay. The recent hotfix for the OG mode also sees the return of the classic Cluster Clinger.
Beyond the classic item returns, Fortnite's Winterfest event is in full swing. This festive celebration blankets the island in snow, introduces event quests, and offers new items like Icy Feet and the Blizzard Grenade. Players can also snag limited-time skins, including those featuring Mariah Carey, Santa Dogg, and Santa Shaq. Collaborations with Cyberpunk 2077 and Batman Ninja further enhance the holiday experience.
The Fortnite OG mode hotfix is a small but significant update for veteran players. The return of the Launch Pad, a Chapter 1 Season 1 staple, provides a classic traversal option, offering strategic advantages for quick escapes or surprise attacks.
Nostalgia Strikes: Classic Weapons and Items Return
- Launch Pad
- Hunting Rifle
- Cluster Clinger
The Hunting Rifle (originally from Chapter 3) provides long-range combat capabilities, a welcome addition for players missing sniper rifles in Chapter 6, Season 1. Cluster Clingers (Chapter 5) are also back, available in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.
The OG mode's success is undeniable, attracting 1.1 million players within two hours of its launch. An accompanying OG Item Shop offers classic skins and items for purchase, although the return of ultra-rare skins like the Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper has sparked mixed reactions among the community.
