Fortnite OG presents a unique challenge with its original map and weapon selection. Mastering this loot pool is key to victory, as the return of familiar weapons in later seasons will drastically alter the gameplay dynamics.

All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles

The return of hitscan mechanics makes Assault Rifles potent in Fortnite OG. However, inconsistent bloom on some variants necessitates careful weapon selection.

Assault Rifle

The Assault Rifle's manageable bloom, ample magazine, and solid damage make it a reliable choice at all ranges. The legendary variant is particularly powerful.

Burst Assault Rifle

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

Scoped Assault Rifle

While offering first-person aiming, the Scoped Assault Rifle's bullet trajectory deviates from the reticle, impacting accuracy.

All Fortnite OG Shotguns

Shotguns reign supreme in close-quarters combat in Fortnite OG. Their high damage output and rapid fire rate, especially with the "double pump" technique, can secure quick victories.

Pump Shotgun

The 2.5x headshot multiplier makes the Pump Shotgun a potent insta-kill weapon. The "double pump" strategy maximizes its effectiveness.

Tactical Shotgun

The Tactical Shotgun's higher fire rate and 2.5x headshot multiplier offer a more forgiving alternative to the Pump Shotgun.

All Fortnite OG Pistols

Pistols serve as early-game weapons, but their effectiveness diminishes in later stages.

Semi-Auto Pistol

A common starting weapon with a high fire rate, but significant damage falloff.

Revolver

A higher-damage pistol with 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 best SMG option due to its suppression and damage falloff starting at 20 meters.

Tactical Submachine Gun

Inconsistent fire rate affects its short-range effectiveness.

Submachine Gun

High fire rate but poor accuracy and ammo consumption.

All Fortnite OG Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles require precise aiming for effective headshots.

Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

High damage with a 2.5x headshot multiplier, but slow fire rate and single-shot magazine.

Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle

Faster fire rate and larger magazine, but lower damage per shot.

All Fortnite OG Explosives

Explosives are crucial for destroying structures and eliminating opponents.

Rocket Launcher

High damage and structure damage, but slow fire rate and single-shot magazine.
