OG Fortnite weapons: 7 items that players want back next season

Fortnite's upcoming season is going to be centered around Chapter 1, giving gamers a strong sense of nostalgia. With so many unique weapons that were released during the entirety of Chapter 1, many are wondering which items will show themselves in the OG Fortnite update.

Out of all these weapons, there are a few that people are hoping to see most. Here are the top seven weapons people hope to see in Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 5 (OG Fortnite).

The new season will be centered specifically around the old days when Fortnite's Chapter 1 had everyone playing the Battle Royale. With new weapons being released every week in the game's constant updates, the game was never short of new material.

Here are the main weapons players want to see return in OG Forntite.

You can't have OG Fortnite without the Rocket Launcher. This weapon packed quite the punch and was a great way to take out players fast. You had to be careful though, back then, it was easy to accidentally blow yourself up. If used right, though, the Rocket Launcher was deadly, making it one of the best weapons in the game.

The Rocket Launcher is quite the fan favorite and many gamers are hoping to see it return in Chapter 4, Season 5.

The Tactical Submachine Gun was the first SMG to be in Fortnite. Its large magazine and little kickback made it a favorite amongst Fortnite players. The weapon was extremely powerful and accurate at the same time.

The Tactical Submachine Gun didn't make it past Chapter 1, making it a weapon people are yearning to return in the OG Forntite update.

The Burst-Assault Rifle quickly rose to the top as a favorite amongst Fortnite gamers. In the beginning, many neglected this powerful weapon, but when famous streamer Ninja began to advocate for it, everyone began to see its potential. Its three-round burst could take a player out with one shot, especially if they were all to the head.

The Burst-Assault Rifle was one of the best guns in OG Fortnite, and many are hoping to see its return next season.

While the Tactical Shotgun may have been in the game during parts of Chapter 2, it was still one of the first weapons ever added to the game. Many were sad to see it eventually leave the game. It had a heavy hit while also having a fast fire rate for a shotgun. Its large magazine also was what made it a favorite.

The Tactical Shotgun has a place in history as one of the greatest weapons in Fortnite, making it a must-have in the upcoming Fortnite update.

Remember those crazy sniper headshots players would hit in Chapter 1? Well, that was usually done with a Bolt-Action Sniper Rife. This weapon was the first sniper to ever be in the game. Not only was it powerful, but it was very easy to hit trick shots with. It created a generation of gamers and people still talk about the clips they would hit with it.

The Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle is still one of the best snipers to ever be added to the game, and gamers are hoping it makes a return next season.

The Pump Shotgun is arguably one of the best weapons to ever be in Fortnite. Now, its sibling, the Sharp-Tooth Shotgun, gives players a similar resemblance to what it felt like to wield this legendary weapon. Still, the Sharp-Tooth does nowhere near as much damage as the Pump did. It was strong, and anyone who heard its sound would be struck with fear.

The Pump Shotgun will go down in history as one of the greatest weapons to ever be in Fortnite, making it a strong pick as a weapon to return next season.

Known especially for its "Scar" variant, the Assault Rifle stands as possibly the most famous weapon ever to be in Fortnite. Introduced at the very beginning of Fortnite's release, this weapon became an instant favorite with almost everyone. If you happened to come across a Gold Scar, you would be ludicrous not to pick it up.

The Assault Rifle is an easy pick as the number one weapon players want to see return the most in the OG Fortnite update.
