Fortnite Player Welcomed Back To The Game With Many New Rewards
An incredible experience of returning to Fortnite after a four-year break was shared by a player going by the handle “u/reginof99” on Reddit, creating a touching trip down memory lane. The appeal of the original map being reinstated in Chapter 4 Season 5 may have spurred the return, but it became a virtual time capsule when the user found unlocked Battle Pass goodies that went all the way back to Chapter 1 Season 5.
A wealth of Battle Pass goodies from past game seasons—all the way back to Chapter 1 Season 5—were made available to the player upon their return. For costumes such as Lynx, Dire, Zenith, and Ragnarok, they displayed a wide variety of styles.
The skin’s corresponding pickaxes, gliders, and back blings were also included in this time capsule for u/reginof99. More is explored in this article.

A welcome back to the game with plenty of new rewards awaits Fortnite players.
Changes in the game’s user interface (UI) may have contributed to the player’s trip down memory lane, and this could be connected to the phenomenon that resulted in the explosion of Battle Pass prizes in u/reginof99’s locker.
There has never been a better moment to see the return of the Chapter 1 map in Chapter 4 Season 5, as the original skins featured in the picture provide even more nostalgia to the already action-packed OG season.
Players can unlock their styles by gaining access to the skins featured in the Reddit thread once their corresponding seasons conclude. Due to modifications made to the user interface of the challenge system, it is possible that players will now automatically complete previous challenges in Fortnite. This will reward players who have been away from the game for a long time, such as u/reginof99, with a series of rewards.
The community responds to the time capsule experience of u/reginof99 in Chapter 4 of Season 5.
Players marveled at the splash of original skins that Fortnite gave, and this surprise trip through the rewards of Battle Pass became a moment of nostalgia for the community. In addition to showcasing how much the game has evolved over time, the display allowed players to reflect back on a period when skins and styles were more straightforward.
While some players nostalgically talked about skins like Omega that didn’t have the lengthy unlockability period, others in the comments section offered an explanation for the peculiar behavior that u/reginof99 encountered.
One user commented: “Bro opened a time capsule,” to which the player responded: “Yeah basically, I haven’t touched fortnite in almost 4 years!”
“Came from OG fortnite straight to new OG fortnite like nothing happened in between,” another player said, as the author stated further: “I stopped playing during Season 7 (Chapter 1), right after Call of Duty Black Ops 4 came out.”
Many attempted to explain why the cosmetics were gifted after all this time, particularly after the gamer disclosed they had never unlocked them in the first place.
“Probably was granted to your account when XP changed with Chapter 2. XP was way different back in Chapter 1,” one suggested, as other old returning players revealed they too had been rewarded classic skins.
The time capsule displayed by u/regin99 demonstrates how Fortnite is able to honor and preserve its rich and historic history while making sure players get the most out of their in-game experience, even as the game gets ready to debut even more skins and content in Chapter 5.
Now as the game enters Chapter 5, Fortnite Season OG is finally coming to a conclusion.
Once more, the Fortnite island changed, but devoted fans will recognize this change as well. The game’s most recent season, titled “Fortnite OG,” just debuted. The game’s developer, Epic Games, claims that “each major update will bring a different phase of battle royale’s past.” The game will receive frequent updates during the season.
First, Chapter 1: Season 5 will be the main focus of Fortnite OG. It also means that traditional weaponry like the assault rifle, pump shotgun, and hunting rifle, as well as vehicles like the shopping cart and all-terrain kart, will be returning. Tilted Towers, which were notoriously destroyed back in 2019, will also be returning.
The remaining OG will delve into the upcoming chapters. Season 6 (quadcrashers and six shooters) will be covered in the November 9 update; seasons 7 and 8 (stormwing planes and mini-guns) will be covered on November 16; and seasons 9 and X (jetpacks and the Baller) will be covered on November 23.
Epic’s blog has a whole list of modifications, but it looks like there will also be a lot of surprises. According to the developer, “some of the unvaulted gear in each update will remain for that update, be in more than one update, or stay for the rest of Fortnite OG.” The season seems to also pay homage to some of the iconic live occurrences from that era of the game, such as the black hole that ended it all, the rolling cube, and the exploding volcano. At least we may infer from screenshots that the meteor and the cube above Loot Lake will reappear in some capacity:
Another unique aspect of this season is its significantly shorter duration than typical. Fortnite OG will only run for four weeks, compared to a normal Fortnite season that lasts about three months. Due to this, the battle pass, also referred to as the “OG pass” here, will still cost the standard 950 V-bucks but will have 50 unlocks goods, which is half of what the regular pass has. (If players finish the pass, they will be able to acquire 1,000 V-bucks; it is still free for Fortnite Crew subscribers.) The characters you can unlock are as follows; they are reimagined versions of well-known ensembles from the game’s past:
Naturally, players will also be able to purchase what Epic refers to as “curated selections of classic, mashup, and fresh items” from the in-game shop.
The major overhaul occurs during a particularly turbulent time of transition for Fortnite’s creator as well as for the game itself. User-generated content has become more prevalent in the game, and Epic Games has had to deal with increased costs, the departure of creative director Donald Mustard, and significant layoffs.
