Fortnite's Original Cosmetic Items: A Complete Guide

Fortnite OG throws players back to the very beginning, recreating the nostalgic experience of Chapter 1, Season 1. This mode features the original map and loot pool, making it crucial to understand the available weapons and items for a successful, retro Battle Royale run. The Fortnite OG loot pool is dynamic; while some weapons are consistently useful, others might be less so. Keeping an eye on the meta is important as the game progresses beyond Season 1, with returning weapons potentially altering the landscape.

All Fortnite OG Assault Rifles

The return of hitscan weapons makes Assault Rifles a powerful choice in Fortnite OG. However, inconsistent bloom on some weapons can be problematic. The standard Assault Rifle generally outperforms others, especially considering the Scoped Assault Rifle's inaccurate scope.

Assault Rifle

Rarity	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
Damage	30	31	33	35	36
Magazine Size	30	30	30	30	30
Fire Rate	5.5	5.5	5.5	5.5	5.5
Reload Time	2.75s	2.625s	2.5s	2.375s	2.25s
Structure Damage	30	31	33	35	36

The Assault Rifle's manageable bloom, generous magazine size, and decent damage make it a reliable choice. Its effectiveness across various combat ranges makes it a staple for any player, especially the legendary variant.

Burst Assault Rifle

Rarity	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
Damage	27	29	30	36	37
Magazine Size	30	30	30	30	30
Fire Rate	4.06	4.06	4.06	3.69	3.69
Reload Time	2.75s	2.62s	2.5s	2.38s	2.25s
Structure Damage	27	29	34	36	37

The Burst Assault Rifle's three-round burst and high bloom make it less reliable than other options. Its inconsistent nature often hinders its effectiveness.

Scoped Assault Rifle

Rarity	Rare	Epic	Legendary
Damage	23	24	37
Magazine Size	20	20	20
Fire Rate	3.5	3.5	3.5
Reload Time	2.3s	2.2s	2.07s
Structure Damage	23	24	37

While offering first-person aiming, the Scoped Assault Rifle's bullet trajectory deviates from the reticle, making it difficult to use accurately.

All Fortnite OG Shotguns

Shotguns are crucial in Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 1, excelling in close-quarters combat due to their high damage and fast fire rate. The "Double Pump" technique further amplifies their effectiveness.

Pump Shotgun

Rarity	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
Damage	90	95	110	119	128
Magazine Size	5	5	5	5	5
Fire Rate	0.7	0.7	0.7	0.7	0.7
Reload Time	4.8s	4.6s	4.4s	4.2s	4s
Structure Damage	90	95	110	119	128

The Pump Shotgun's 2.5x headshot multiplier and the Double Pump strategy make it a potent close-range weapon capable of instant eliminations.

Tactical Shotgun

Rarity	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Damage	67	70	74
Magazine Size	8	8	8
Fire Rate	1.5	1.5	1.5
Reload Time	6.3s	6s	5.7s
Structure Damage	67	70	74

The Tactical Shotgun's higher fire rate and 2.5x headshot multiplier offer a safer, albeit less powerful, alternative to the Pump Shotgun.

All Fortnite OG Pistols

Pistols are suitable early-game weapons but generally less effective in the late game.

Semi-Auto Pistol

Rarity	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Damage	24	25	26
Magazine Size	16	16	16
Fire Rate	6.8	6.8	6.8
Reload Time	1.5s	1.47s	1.4s
Structure Damage	24	25	26

A common starting weapon, the Semi-Auto Pistol offers a high fire rate but suffers from significant damage drop-off.

Revolver

Rarity	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
Damage	54	57	60	63	66
Magazine Size	6	6	6	6	6
Fire Rate	0.9	0.9	0.9	0.9	0.9
Reload Time	2.2s	2.1s	2s	1.9s	1.8s
Structure Damage	54	57	60	63	66

The Revolver's higher damage is offset by its significant recoil and bloom.

All Fortnite OG SMGs

SMGs are effective at close range but lack the damage output of shotguns and struggle at longer distances.

Suppressed Submachine Gun

Rarity	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic
Damage	17	18	19	23
Magazine Size	30	30	30	30
Fire Rate	9	9	9	9
Reload Time	2.2s	2.1s	2s	1.9s
Structure Damage	17	18	19	23

The Suppressed Submachine Gun's suppressive fire and damage falloff starting at 20 meters make it the best SMG option.

Tactical Submachine Gun

Rarity	Uncommon	Rare	Epic
Damage	16	17	18
Magazine Size	30	30	30
Fire Rate	10	10	10
Reload Time	2.4s	2.3s	2.2s
Structure Damage	16	17	18

Inconsistent fire rate and short effective range limit the Tactical Submachine Gun's usefulness.

Submachine Gun

Rarity	Common	Uncommon	Rare
Damage	14	15	16
Magazine Size	35	35	35
Fire Rate	15	15	15
Reload Time	2.2s	2.1s	2s
Structure Damage	14	15	16

High ammo consumption and inaccuracy hinder the Submachine Gun's overall effectiveness.

All Fortnite OG Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles require precise aiming for effective headshots.

Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle

Rarity	Rare	Epic	Legendary
Damage	105	110	116
Magazine Size	1	1	1
Fire Rate	0.3s	0.3s	0.3s
Reload Time	3s	2.9s	2.7s
Structure Damage	105	110	116

High damage and a 2.5x headshot multiplier make the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle lethal, but its single-shot magazine necessitates careful aiming.

Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle

Rarity	Epic	Legendary
Damage	63	66
Magazine Size	10	10
Fire Rate	1.2	1.2
Reload Time	2.5s	2.3s
Structure Damage	75	78

Faster fire rate and larger magazine compensate for lower damage compared to the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle.

All Fortnite OG Explosives

Explosives are powerful tools for destroying structures and eliminating opponents.

Rocket Launcher

Rarity	Rare	Epic	Legendary
Damage	100	115	130
Magazine Size	1	1	1
Fire Rate	0.75s	0.75s	0.75s
Reload Time	3.60s	3.06s	2.52s
Structure Damage	300	315	330

High damage and splash radius make the Rocket Launcher devastating, but its slow fire rate makes it easy to avoid.

Grenade Launcher

Damage	100	105	110
Magazine Size	6	6	6
Fire Rate	1	1	1
Reload Time	3s	2.8s	2.7s
