New Weapons And Loot In Fortnite OG Season 4
While pretty much all the Fortnite buzz at the moment revolves around Battle Royale's new superhero season, starring Superman and Robin, today also marks the start of Season 4 of Fortnite OG. The original Season 4, which was Fortnite's summer season back in 2018, was a momentous one, as it marked the beginning of Fortnite's ongoing story. More relevant to this particular article, however, is that it added a couple items to Fortnite's loot pool that have become battle royale staples.Back in that early era, Fortnite didn't usually change the meta much between seasons. The standard Fortnite Assault Rifle, for example, stayed in Battle Royale from the very first day the mode was released in 2017 until the end of Chapter 2 more than four years later. Big, overall shakeups to the meta--like Star Wars season replacing the entire pool of Fortnite weapons in favor of Star Wars blasters and lightsabers--just didn't happen back then. So if the list of new items in the Fortnite OG Season 4 loot pool seems relatively small, that's why. New weapons in Fortnite OG Season 4Despite the fact that the loot pool wasn't dramatically overhauled, Season 4 didadd some significant new items that players have grown pretty attached to over the years, like the Drum Gun, which made its first appearance in Battle Royale near the end of the season. Dual pistolsOnly one other completely new weapon, the Dual Pistols, was added in Season 4, and they also had an exotic variant called Hop Rock Dualies, which would give a low gravity effect and negate fall damage after firing. Thermal Scoped ARWhile not an entirely new item, Season 4 also introduced a modified version of the Scoped Assault Rifle that has a thermal scope. The Thermal Scoped AR is in Fortnite OG now, and the Drum Gun and Dualies will be added in later in the season. Other new items in Fortnite OG Season 4Since the story of Season 4 revolved around a big meteor crashing into the island, the items most commonly associated with the season are Hop Rocks, a type of consumable that gives the user a low-gravity effect for a small amount of time. Yes, the premise with these things is that your character is eating space rocks. JetpackAmong the other cool stuff you can expect to see in Season 4 is the arrival of jetpacks, which allowed for serious verticality without the need to build a structure. This version of the jetpack is not so great for horizontal movement, however. It's just for height. Stink bombThis season also saw the debut of the stink bomb throwable, which creates a cloud of poison wherever it lands, along with the Bouncer trap, and the forageable apples and mushrooms for health and shields that remain in Battle Royale to this day. Shopping cartsLastly, Season 4 also introduced Fortnite's very first vehicle, the Shopping Cart. It's not a good vehicle, but it's something, and it's available to mess with (and probably die because of it) in Fortnite OG right now. The full Fortnite OG Season 4 loot poolBeyond those new items, the Season 4 loot pool will consist of weapons and items that have already been introduced in previous OG seasons. Keep in mind that these items may not all be in the game at the same time, as Epic tends to vault and unvault things at different points in the season. Also, not every gun behaves the same way now as it did back then. For instance, pistols were semi-automatic back in the day, but are full-auto now. Check out the full list of loot below.
