Fortnite's nostalgic journey back to its roots with Fortnite OG has reignited the excitement of the original Battle Royale experience. Set in the iconic Chapter 1, Season 1, players dive into a familiar OG map and loot pool, making it crucial to understand the available weapons and items as you navigate your way to victory.
As Fortnite evolves, the OG loot pool remains a focal point, especially since the progression from Chapter 1 Season 1 to Season 2 and beyond will introduce new dynamics with returning weapons. Keeping track of the OG loot pool is essential for staying competitive in this ever-changing meta.

However, the bloom on some rifles can be challenging, so the standard Assault Rifle stands out as the top choice, particularly when the Scoped Assault Rifle's aim doesn't align perfectly with the bullet trajectory.
