Fortnite's New Season Turns Back the Clock with Return of Original 2018 Map and Loot Pool

Season dubbed 'Fortnite OG' launched with restored 2018 map including popular location 'Tilted Towers', reintroduces vintage weapons, and set to update in subsequent weeks replicating progression of original season's map and loot.

Fortnite has launched 'Season OG' which is a nostalgic return to the game's 2018 map version featuring popular locations like 'Tilted Towers'.
The new season retains certain mechanics from recent seasons but reintroduces traditional Fortnite items, weapons, and vehicles like Assault Rifle, Tactical Shotgun, and Shopping Carts, providing a modern(ish) Fortnite atmosphere with archetypal elements.
As the season progresses, Fortnite will update with locations and items that were added in the subsequent weeks of the original season, replicating its progression to evoke nostalgia.
Despite the return to original format, some of the excitement from the original challenges such as secret gnomes, treasure maps, and weekly new unlocking challenges that led to special loading screens have not been replicated, making the challenges seem generic as per Forbes.
Den of Geek delineates that the best weapons in the current season are the Pump Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and Bolt Action Sniper Rifle, suggesting players to appreciate the chaos as this update doesn't seem to be particularly concerned with balance.
