Fortnite Revives Classic Weapons and Gear

Launch Pad, Hunting Rifle, and Cluster Clinger are back! The return of the Hunting Rifle (Chapter 3) offers long-range combat options, especially appreciated with the absence of sniper rifles in Chapter 6, Season 1. Cluster Clingers (Chapter 5) also make a comeback, appearing in both Battle Royale and Zero Build.

The success of Fortnite OG is undeniable, with 1.1 million players joining in during its first two hours. Alongside the game mode, an OG Item Shop launched, bringing back classic skins and items. However, the reintroduction of ultra-rare skins like the Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper has sparked mixed reactions among the player base.
