Fortnite OG features a unique weapon and item set, crucial for success given the shift in meta compared to later seasons. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each item is vital for mastering this classic Battle Royale experience. The return of hitscan weapons significantly impacts gameplay.

All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles

Assault Rifles are highly effective in Fortnite OG, especially given the return of hitscan mechanics. However, weapon bloom can be problematic. The standard Assault Rifle is generally preferred due to its manageable bloom and consistent performance. The Scoped Assault Rifle, while offering first-person aiming, suffers from inaccurate bullet trajectory.

Assault Rifle

The Assault Rifle's reliability across various ranges makes it a staple weapon. The legendary variant ("golden scar") is particularly powerful.

Burst Assault Rifle

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

Scoped Assault Rifle

The Scoped Assault Rifle's inconsistent bullet trajectory significantly hinders its effectiveness.

All Fortnite OG Shotguns

Shotguns dominate close-quarters combat in Fortnite OG. The "double pump" strategy, utilizing two Pump Shotguns, is particularly effective.

Pump Shotgun

The Pump Shotgun's high damage and 2.5x headshot multiplier make it a formidable close-range weapon. The double pump technique minimizes reload downtime.

Tactical Shotgun

The Tactical Shotgun's higher fire rate offers a more consistent alternative to the Pump Shotgun.

All Fortnite OG Pistols

Pistols serve as early-game weapons but are generally outclassed in later stages.

Semi-Auto Pistol

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 damage output of shotguns and the range of assault rifles.

Suppressed Submachine Gun

The Suppressed Submachine Gun's suppressed fire and damage falloff at 20 meters make it a viable option.

Tactical Submachine Gun

The Tactical Submachine Gun's inconsistent fire rate can be unpredictable.

Submachine Gun

The Submachine Gun's high fire rate comes at the cost of accuracy and ammunition consumption.

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 shot placement.

Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle

The Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle's faster fire rate and larger magazine offer a more versatile alternative, though its damage is lower.

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 provides area-of-effect damage, useful for clearing structures and disrupting enemy positions.

Grenade

Grenades offer a versatile way to destroy structures and inflict damage.

All Fortnite OG Traps

Traps add a strategic element to Fortnite OG.

Launch Pad

The Launch Pad provides crucial mobility, allowing players to escape danger or reach elevated positions.

Ceiling Zapper

The Ceiling Zapper instantly eliminates or downs players who pass underneath.

Wall Dynamo

Similar to the Ceiling Zapper, but placed on walls.

Damage Trap

The Damage Trap inflicts damage to players who step on it.

Directional Jump Pad

The Directional Jump Pad offers horizontal or vertical boosts, negating fall damage.

All Fortnite OG Consumables/Items

Consumables in Fortnite OG are less abundant than in later seasons.

Bandage

Bandages restore health quickly, useful for staying in the fight.

Med Kit

Med Kits fully restore health but require a longer activation time.

Shield Potions gradually restore shields.
