Fortnite's Latest Update: A Blast from the Past and Festive Cheer!
Fortnite's newest update reintroduces beloved items, including the Hunting Rifle and Launch Pad, delighting longtime players. This follows a recent hotfix for the OG mode, which also brings back the nostalgic Cluster Clinger. The excitement continues with the return of Winterfest, complete with seasonal quests, fun items like Icy Feet and Blizzard Grenades, and exciting skins featuring Mariah Carey and others.
December is proving to be a packed month for Fortnite. Beyond the Winterfest event, which blankets the island in snow and offers Cozy Cabin rewards, Epic Games is delivering a flurry of new skins and collaborations. Partnerships with Cyberpunk 2077 and Batman Ninja add to the festive mix. But the celebrations extend beyond the current season.
The recent Fortnite hotfix, while seemingly minor, is a significant update for many players. The OG mode welcomes back the Launch Pad, a Chapter 1 Season 1 favorite, offering a classic traversal option before the introduction of vehicles and other mobility enhancements. This provides players with a tactical advantage, enabling quick escapes or surprise attacks.
Fortnite's Revival of Classic Weapons and Items
- Launch Pad
- Hunting Rifle
- Cluster Clinger
The Launch Pad isn't the only returning item. The Hunting Rifle (originally from Chapter 3) also makes a comeback, providing long-range combat capabilities, particularly welcome given the absence of sniper rifles in Chapter 6, Season 1. Chapter 5's Cluster Clingers are back as well, appearing in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.
The resurgence of Fortnite OG has been phenomenal, attracting 1.1 million players within the first two hours of its launch. Alongside the game mode, Epic launched an OG Item Shop, featuring 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 players.
