Fortnite OG brings players back to the nostalgic roots of Battle Royale, revisiting the iconic Chapter 1, Season 1. This mode features an OG map and an OG loot pool, making it crucial for players to familiarize themselves with the available weapons and items as they navigate their way through a trip down memory lane.
In Fortnite OG, the array of weapons and items spans from essential to less useful, and understanding the loot pool is key, especially as the game progresses through Chapter 1 Season 1 into Season 2 and beyond, where the meta will shift with the introduction of different returning weapons.
All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles
With the reintroduction of hitscan weapons, Assault Rifles in Fortnite OG have never felt more satisfying. However, the bloom on some weapons can be frustrating, making the standard Assault Rifle the preferred choice, particularly when the Scoped Assault Rifle's scope misaligns with bullet trajectory:

The Assault Rifle stands out as the go-to weapon in Fortnite OG due to its manageable bloom, ample magazine capacity, and solid damage output. It's a must-have in any player's inventory, offering reliability across all combat ranges, especially when you snag the coveted golden scar.

The Scoped Assault Rifle, alongside the Sniper Rifles, offers the only first-person aiming experience in Fortnite OG. Despite the advantage of hitscan with its reticle, the bullets often stray from the crosshair, making it a challenging weapon to use accurately.
All Fortnite OG Shotguns
Shotguns are pivotal in the Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 1 meta due to their high damage and fast firing rates, ideal for dominating close-quarters combat. The Double Pump technique can secure near-instant victories:

The Tactical Shotgun offers a safer alternative with its higher fire rate, allowing players to empty the magazine quickly. With a 2.5x headshot multiplier, it can be lethal at close range.
All Fortnite OG Pistols
Pistols serve as excellent starter weapons for players fresh off the Battle Bus, though they're less ideal for endgame scenarios. Fortnite OG features two Pistol variants that can be quite effective:

All Fortnite OG SMGs
While SMGs are effective in close-range encounters, they can't compete with the Double Pump's DPS and lack the range for long-distance engagements. Here are the stats for the SMGs available in Fortnite OG:
