“We’re blown away by the response to #FortniteOG,” said the game’sofficial Twitter page. “Yesterday was the biggest day in Fortnite’s history with over 44.7 MILLION players jumping in and 102 MILLION hours of play.”
The newOG seasontakes players back to the beginning of the battle royale mode. It brings back beloved locations likeTilted Towers, Greasy Grove, and Snobby Shores into the experience. This has obviously attracted fans to return to the game.
The classic Assault Rifle, Pump Shotgun, and Hunting Rifle are back. In addition, you can use theDamage Trap, Grappler, and Boogie Bomb. The latter is my personal favorite, as it forces your opponents to dance if they get hit by the grenade. You can also ride around in a Shopping Kart or an All Terrain Kart.’
If you’re a regularFortniteplayer, you can utilize the Reboot Rally. This is an incentive to get returning friends into the action. If you finish certain goals with them, you can get the Skerran Glider and more rewards.
