Fortnite OG presents a unique challenge with its original map and weapon set. Mastering this loot pool is crucial for victory, especially considering the evolving meta as the season progresses.

All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles

Assault Rifles are highly effective in Fortnite OG, especially given the return of hitscan weapons. However, bloom can be an issue with some variants.

Assault Rifle

The Assault Rifle's manageable bloom, ample magazine, and decent damage make it a reliable choice at all ranges. The legendary variant is particularly powerful.

Burst Assault Rifle

The Burst Assault Rifle's three-round burst and high bloom make it less reliable than the standard Assault Rifle.

Scoped Assault Rifle

While offering first-person aiming, the Scoped Assault Rifle's inconsistent bullet trajectory makes it challenging to use effectively.

All Fortnite OG Shotguns

Shotguns are dominant in close-quarters combat in Fortnite OG, especially with the Double Pump technique.

Pump Shotgun

The Pump Shotgun's high damage and 2.5x headshot multiplier make it a potent close-range weapon. The Double Pump strategy significantly increases its effectiveness.

Tactical Shotgun

The Tactical Shotgun's higher fire rate and 2.5x headshot multiplier offer a safer, albeit less powerful, alternative to the Pump Shotgun.

All Fortnite OG Pistols

Pistols serve as early-game weapons but are generally less effective in the late game.

Semi-Auto Pistol

A common starting weapon, the Semi-Auto Pistol offers a high fire rate but suffers from significant damage drop-off.

Revolver

The Revolver delivers higher damage but has noticeable recoil, impacting accuracy.

All Fortnite OG SMGs

SMGs are effective at close range but lack the DPS of shotguns and struggle at longer distances.

Suppressed Submachine Gun

The Suppressed Submachine Gun provides a 2.5x headshot multiplier and is generally the best SMG option due to its suppression and damage falloff at 20 meters.

Tactical Submachine Gun

The Tactical Submachine Gun has lower bloom but an inconsistent fire rate.

Submachine Gun

The Submachine Gun's high fire rate consumes ammo quickly and impacts accuracy.

All Fortnite OG Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles require precise aim for effective headshots.

Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle's high damage and 2.5x headshot multiplier make it lethal, but its single-shot magazine necessitates careful aiming.

Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle

The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle's faster fire rate and 2.5x headshot multiplier allow for quicker follow-up shots.

All Fortnite OG Explosives

Explosives are powerful tools for destroying structures and eliminating opponents.

Rocket Launcher

The Rocket Launcher's high damage and splash radius make it effective against structures and groups of players.

Grenade Launcher

The Grenade Launcher offers multiple projectiles for area denial and structure destruction.

Grenade

Grenades are effective for destroying cover and damaging opponents.

All Fortnite OG Traps

Traps add a strategic element to Fortnite OG, allowing for defensive and offensive maneuvers.

Launch Pad

Provides vertical mobility, useful for escaping or reaching high ground. Stack size: 2.

Ceiling Zapper

Electrocutes players who pass underneath.

Wall Dynamo

Similar to the Ceiling Zapper, but placed on walls.

Damage Trap

Inflicts damage to players who step on it.

Directional Jump Pad

Provides horizontal or vertical movement, negating fall damage.

All Fortnite OG Consumables/Items

Consumables are essential for healing and maintaining health and shields.

Bandage

Quickly restores health, up to a maximum of 75.

Med Kit

Restores 100 health but can be interrupted.

Gradually restores shields.

Slurp Juice
