Fortnite's Latest Update: A Blast from the Past with Fan-Favorite Items and Winterfest Cheer!
Fortnite's newest update delivers a nostalgic treat for players, bringing back beloved items like the Hunting Rifle and Launch Pad. This follows a busy December for Epic Games, packed with new skins and the annual Winterfest event.
Winterfest has returned, blanketing the island in snow and introducing event quests, along with fun items such as Icy Feet and the Blizzard Grenade. Players can snag rewards from the Cozy Cabin and premium skins featuring Mariah Carey, Santa Dogg, and Santa Shaq. But the festivities don't stop there! Collaborations with Cyberpunk 2077 and Batman Ninja add to the excitement. The OG mode also receives a significant update.
A recent hotfix for Fortnite's OG mode reintroduces the iconic Launch Pad, a Chapter 1, Season 1 favorite. This classic traversal tool, predating other movement options, provided players with a strategic advantage for surprise attacks or quick getaways.
Fortnite Revives Classic Weapons and Gear:
- Launch Pad
- Hunting Rifle
- Cluster Clinger
The Launch Pad isn't the only returning item. The Hunting Rifle (originally from Chapter 3) makes a comeback, offering long-range combat capabilities, particularly welcome given the absence of sniper rifles in Chapter 6, Season 1. Chapter 5's Cluster Clingers also reappear, available in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.
Fortnite OG's popularity is undeniable, with 1.1 million players joining in during the first two hours of its launch. An accompanying OG Item Shop offers classic skins and items for purchase. However, the return of ultra-rare skins like the Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper has sparked mixed reactions among the player base.
