As many people miss the old Fortnite map and gameplay, Epic Games announced the return of \u201cOG Fortnite\u201d on Oct. 30th. On Friday Nov. 3rd, the update took place and Fortnite peaked in number of players with 6.1 million people online. The Fortnite map changed back to the Season Five Chapter One and the gameplay is back to the Chapter One settings. Also with the return of Season Five, weapons and collectibles like the Hand Cannon, the Rift to Go and Boogie Bombs are back with other \u201cold\u201d weapons and collectibles. \u201cNo Builds\u201d isn\u2019t an OG game mode, but is in the game and allows players to have an authentic Battle Royale experience. Due to the lack of building, Fortnite has incorporated modern gameplay devices like ziplines and mechanics that allow sliding and sprinting to help you move around the map with ease. \u201cOG Fortnite\u201d players were probably thrilled to log back on and feel the nostalgia of the 2019 Fortnite era. \u201cI rushed home after school on Friday to play Fortnite. When I finally logged on, it felt like I was back in 2019 playing with my friends,\u201d said Junior Thomson Brumfield.  Popular locations such as \u201cTilted Towers,\u201d \u201cPleasant Park,\u201d \u201cRetail Row\u201d and other \u201chot drops\u201d are back. \u201cI used to always land in \u2018Salty Springs,\u2019 and now that I can land there again, the game is so much more fun,\u201d said Sophomore Jake Haggman. Although this update is only supposed to remain for about a month, with the number of players, Fortnite might just keep these settings for a while. Usually, Fortnite offers a \u201cBattle Pass,\u201d which allows players to claim season themed items like skins, emotes, and wallpapers, but this season, Fortnite is offering the \u201cOG Pass,\u201d which is a mix between modern items and skins with \u201cOG\u201d items and skins. Twitch streamers have been getting more views while playing Fortnite due to the update, and Sophomore Beckett Allegra said, \u201cduring my free periods, I have been watching streamers like \u2018Nick Eh 30\u2019 and watching Fortnite has never been more entertaining.\u201d For the most part, Fortnite is back, but it’ll be interesting to see how Epic Games decides to update the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
