  • Double Barrel Shotgun
  • Clinger
  • Six Shooter
  • Chiller Trap
  • Port-a-Fortress

  • Driftboard (originally from Season 7)
  • Shockwave Grenades
  • Heavy Assault Rifle

Vaulted Items:

  • Burst Assault Rifle
  • Impulse Grenades

For the architects of defense, the update is not shy of innovations. Combine the Chiller Trap with the impressive Port-a-Fortress, and crown your stronghold with Mounted Turrets, although note that the Chiller Trap and Mounted Turret will be absent from Zero Build.

The mobility game is amped up with the Quadcrasher and Driftboard, the latter a Season 7 addition making an early appearance in the OG Season 6 update. Players can now burst onto the scene with these high-octane vehicles, offering new dynamics to map navigation and engagement.

Further amplifying the old-school vibes, the hotfix also introduces the Shockwave Grenades and Heavy Assault Rifle from Chapter 1's inaugural season. As Fortnite OG welcomes these classics, it bids farewell to the Burst Assault Rifle, Impulse Grenades, Smoke Grenades, and Port-a-Fort, all of which have been vaulted in this update.

Epic Games continues to balance the old with the new, providing a fresh twist to Fortnite's evolving narrative, ensuring that both veterans and newcomers find joy in the game's ever-changing world. Keep your eyes peeled for the next nostalgic twist in the Fortnite saga!
