Epic Games has just rolled out the much-anticipated Fortnite OG Season 3 update, bringing with it a wave of nostalgia for long-time fans. This latest update features the iconic Lucky Landing, the fan-favorite 50v50 mode, and a collection of much-loved weapons, reigniting the excitement from Fortnite’s early days. Even as Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode continues through Chapter 6 Season 2, this throwback update offers a delightful trip down memory lane to its 2017 origins.
Alongside the update, keen-eyed data miners have dug up intriguing hints of a potential crossover with The Walking Dead. Not long after the update went live, respected leakers like HYPEX found Negan’s Bat hidden in the game files, hinting at a new skin for the infamous character. While Epic Games has yet to formally announce this exciting collaboration with Robert Kirkman’s apocalyptic saga, the anticipation for these new cosmetics is already buzzing.
This season, Fortnite OG Season 3 has fully launched across all platforms – PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile. If you check out the patch notes later in this article, you’ll find that the update reintroduces the cherished Lucky Landing and a slew of beloved weapons like the Light Machine Gun and Heavy Shotgun. Players can also dive back into 50v50, the pioneering limited-time mode that made waves when it debuted during the original Chapter 1 Season 3.
Also making waves is the brand-new OG Fortnite Battle Pass for Season 3, packed with 45 tiers of rewards that hark back to the original season’s aesthetics. This pass invites players to unlock cosmetics inspired by classic outfits such as Power Chord, Raven, and Rex. For 1,000 V-Bucks, or through Fortnite Crew, players can snag the premium pass, which grants exclusive access to outfits like Power Punk, Mecha R3X, and Sir Raven. Alongside these are back blings, pickaxes, and more, although the contentious Kicks don’t make an appearance this time.
The OG 50v50 Limited-Time Mode is back, inviting two teams of 50 players each to go head-to-head in a sprawling battle of strategy and survival. Whether you’re building fortifications, raiding for supplies, or battling it out with 49 allies, it’s a mode that promises large-scale excitement.
There’s also a noticeable throwback happening with the inclusion of Lucky Landing, complete with its intricate architecture and lucrative loot hotspots. And keep your eyes to the sky — a familiar meteor will start creeping closer as the season progresses, recreating one of the defining moments of Fortnite’s storyline.
The loot pool this season is especially enticing, with classics like the Guided Missile making a comeback, alongside potent sidearms like the Hand Cannon and the Hunting Rifle. These, combined with the variety of explosive tools and mid-range weapons, promise an enthralling combat experience.
From day one, players will spot Supply Llamas and vending machines scattered across the island, with resources available to use in Zero Build. New and returning items from Chapter 1 Season 3 are filtering back into the game, ensuring that both nostalgia and innovation go hand in hand.
For those itching to dive into the OG Pass, the latest season provides an array of rewards reminiscent of Fortnite’s beginnings. From Power Punk, a rebellious outfit you can claim upon purchasing the pass, to Mecha R3X and Sir Raven, the premium rewards offer something for every nostalgic fan. Earn XP and unlock different styles and accessories, maximizing your Fortnite experience.
With all these updates and returning features, Fortnite OG Season 3 is a rich nod to the past while paving the way for exciting new adventures. Whether revisiting beloved locations or mastering classic weapons, there’s something for every player to enjoy in this nostalgic journey.
