Epic has found that people like Fortnite OG mode and is now adding it permanently to the game starting tomorrow. The mode will now persist indefinitely, has its own seasons and battle pass, and it all begins on Friday, December 6th.

We’ve got a lot of information here that you’ll probably want to know about getting started, including:

Fortnite OG mode release time

This should be done during the daily reset (not the store reset). at 6 a.m. PT, 9 a.m. ETunless Epic changes something and activates it earlier in the morning/overnight, which could be around 2am ET.

Weapons list in Fortnite OG mode

Epic has detailed the OG weapons you should expect to see in this mode if you’re looking to channel the good old days, although there will be more than that in time:

• Assault rifle
• Burst assault rifle
• Assault rifle with telescopic sight
• Pump shotgun
• Tactical shotgun
• gun
• revolver
• Submachine gun
• Tactical machine gun
• Repeating sniper rifle
• Semi-automatic sniper rifle
• Grenade launcher
• rocket launcher
• Damage event
• Ceiling zapper
• Wall dynamo

Quality of life changes in Fortnite OG

They don’t give up completely all Changes to the game over the last seven years. For example, there are reboot vans, you can see the glitter of the sniper scope, the maximum building resources are 999 and shotguns have the double pump activated. The building mechanics remain unchanged, and movement additions such as sprinting, sliding, mantling, door slamming, and moving while healing are present. No wall running like this new season.

Fortnite OG Battle Pass

Epic is shortening the Fortnite OG seasons and therefore the Battle Passes, and the one added tomorrow will run until January 31, 2025 at 2 a.m. ET, just under two months away. XP from every mode in the game is used, not just Fortnite OG. There are 45 levels of outfits with a “modern twist” on classic pieces. That starts with Renegade Rebel, Aerial Assault Bomber and Skull Commander in this first playthrough, each with an unlockable alternate style.

It remains to be seen how this will affect the base Battle Royale, but undoubtedly most players will still want to experience the new season live. I wonder if some of the “magic” of Fortnite OG will be lost if it’s no longer a limited time offer, but that seems to be what fans wanted and here we are. It starts tomorrow and we’ll see what the reception is this time, what has stayed the same and what has changed.
