Fortnite OG Mode Launch Details

Mark your calendars for the big reveal! Fortnite OG mode is set to launch at the daily reset time, specifically at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET. There's even a chance Epic might surprise players with an earlier activation around 2 AM ET!

The Ultimate Weapon Arsenal Awaits!

Get ready to wield some of your favorite weapons from the original seasons of Fortnite! While Epic has shared a glimpse of the weapons coming to the OG mode, keep your eyes peeled; there might be more surprises in store down the line. Here’s a comprehensive list of confirmed weapons: - Assault Rifle - Burst Assault Rifle - Scoped Assault Rifle - Pump Shotgun - Tactical Shotgun - Pistol - Revolver - Submachine Gun - Tactical Machine Gun - Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle - Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle - Grenade Launcher - Rocket Launcher - Damage Trap - Ceiling Zapper - Wall Dynamo

Quality of Life Changes You’ll Love

While the OG mode aims to capture the essence of the early game, Epic isn't ignoring the evolution of Fortnite over the past seven years. Expect modern conveniences to enhance gameplay, such as reboot vans for teammates, sniper scope glints to spot enemies, and a maximum resource cap of 999. Plus, veterans can rejoice—double pump is enabled for shotguns! Although the core mechanics remain intact, building features and movement options—including sprinting, sliding, and healing while moving—are all available. However, wall running will not be included in this season.

A Fresh Battle Pass Experience

With the new Fortnite OG mode comes a revamped battle pass experience designed to cater to both nostalgia and modern gameplay. The inaugural battle pass will run from its launch until January 31, 2025, giving players roughly two months to complete it. This battle pass will incorporate XP gains from all Fortnite modes, not just OG. Players can expect 45 tiers filled with items that put a "modern twist" on classic outfits, starting with fan-favorite characters like Renegade Rebel, Aerial Assault Bomber, and Skull Commander, each featuring unlockable alternative styles.

What Does This Mean for Fortnite?

As the Fortnite community eagerly prepares for this exciting addition, many wonder how the OG mode's permanence will impact the main Battle Royale experience. While some may fear that the limited-time charm will fade, this move seems to align with what fans have longed for. Tomorrow marks the dawn of a new chapter, and we can't wait to see how players embrace both the nostalgia and the new features. Be prepared for an influx of seasoned players back in the game!

Make sure you’re ready for the Fortnite OG launch—this could be your chance to reclaim your glory days in the game!
