While Fortnite OG remains largely faithful to the original 2017 experience, some changes have been made – such as the introduction of Zero Build and the aforementioned zip lines and climbers to make exploration easier.

Additionally, other quality of life changes will be reflected in Fortnite OG. This includes things like modern building mechanics that are different from the 2017 era players may remember. Players can also do things like sprint, slide, wrap themselves, move while healing, and smash doors while sprinting through them.

These maneuvers didn’t originally exist, but Epic now seems to think they’re necessary to reflect what Fortnite is today, even as it looks back to times gone by.

Epic said some The original game’s rough patches were left unchanged, while others were updated. For example, reboot vans will be present across the island despite not being there originally, while maximum building resources are capped at 999 pieces.

The double pump shotgun meta, which will allow players to switch between two pump shotguns instead of reloading or waiting for the rate of fire of just one of them, will be available at Fortnite OG launch, although Epic has hinted that this technique is available “for now,” meaning this feature may be changed or removed at any time if it proves problematic.

Only solo and squad queues will be available in Fortnite OG – at least for now. It seems that Epic sometimes changes course on this detail based on player feedback. Also coming later this season is the OG Ranked mode, which is sure to give the game the sweatiest lobby of all.
