Everything new added to Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 2

Shifty’s Back… ALRIGHT | Fortnite OG Season 2 Returns January 31

Since its release, Fortnite’s OG mode has been a smashing success, transporting players back in time to the glory days of Epic’s battle royale with its faithful recreation of the Chapter 1 map and gameplay elements. Peak concurrent player counts and a revitalized player base is both indicators that the original allure of Fortnite is still very much alive and well.

Fortnite OG’s success stems from its ability to combine classic and new gameplay components. It offers a more straightforward battle royale experience while also including modern features like Zero Build mode and movement mechanics. Players love this mode because it stays true to the basics of the game, like including a double pump meta that was insanely popular when it came out.

Now that the initial OG Chapter 1 Season 1 comes to an end, Epic has brought another iconic Season 2, which brings back legendary POIs, remixed versions of fan-favorite skins and much more. Here are all the new additions made to Fortnite OG mode with Chapter 1 Season 2 update.

All new additions to Fortnite OG in Chapter 1 Season 2

Return of Tilted Towers and many more iconic POIs

In Chapter 1 Season 2, points of interest from the first Season 2 are back, so be ready to make the HOA at Snobby Shores mad again! The following are some of the nostalgic POIs that are in store:

  • Tilted Towers – Let’s be honest: you’re going to drop here first. Tilted Towers’ towering high-rises attract both chests and danger! Take cover and loot in the numerous housing complexes and workplaces, or brave the streets of the concrete jungle.
  • Junk Junction – This scrapyard paradise is a treasure trove of loot, but keep an eye out – every car stack and debris pile in Junk Junction could be hiding a clever opponent! Even if the coast is clear, you will be under the careful eye of the Metal Llama.
  • Haunted Hills – Lurking just beneath Junk Junction is the scariest location in Haunted Hills, Chapter 1 Season 2! This decaying POI is riddled with abandoned tombs and deteriorating architecture, and enemy players will just add to the dread.
  • Snobby Shores – At Snobby Shores, players can anticipate luxurious homes and a treasure trove of loot that will ensure they stay ahead of the competition. Are you ready to uncover the hidden underground bunker nestled within this lavish enclave?
  • Shifty Shafts – This is no ordinary mining facility! Venture into the depths and uncover the intricate maze of tunnels that lies in wait. Shifty Shafts delivers intense close-quarters combat that will test even the most seasoned players, but with a bit of luck, you might just hit the jackpot!

OG loot pool is back!

OG Chapter 1 Season 2 will expand the loot pool with gear from the classic Chapter 1 Season 2 being added on a regular basis:

  • Small Shield Potion (live now!) – Need a quick boost to your defense? This is your go-to drink, offering 25 Shield each ‘til you’re at 50!
  • Multi-Surface Damage Trap (live now!) – The spike is mightier than the sword. Place the upgraded Damage Trap on a floor, ceiling, or wall to ambush unsuspecting enemies!
  • Boogie Bomb – Throw this funky orb into the fray to unleash a momentary, disco-fueled dance party on your foes. Let the rhythm take over and turn the tide of battle in style!
  • Suppressed Pistol – The ideal weapon for stealthy attacks. Be quick on the draw and even quicker on the reload to make the most of this sneaky sidearm!
  • Cozy Campfire – Need to heal up after a frantic fight? Choose a place for this benign Trap and restore your HP for up to 25 seconds at 2 HP per second. A great opportunity to tell your friends a quick story!
  • Chug Jug – The ultimate lifeline in a firefight, this whopping beverage takes quite a bit to consume, but grants full Health and full Shield. Just make sure you’re not interrupted before you chug it all!
    • You can drink the Chug Jug while moving. “Chug along,” as they say!
  • Minigun – With no magazine limit, this weapon is the perfect tool for razing buildings or going on a haphazard offensive. Fire away for too long, though, and you’ll become vulnerable with the Minigun’s prolonged cooldown period!
  • Crossbow – Swap bullets for arrows. Fun fact: The Crossbow was first introduced as Cupid’s Crossbow before becoming the Crossbow in Season 3!
  • Impulse Grenade – Launch yourself to outmaneuver incoming attacks, or end an elevated skirmish by sending enemies to the ground below towards elimination!

A promotional image for the launch of the Netflix app in the Samsung Galaxy Store.

Samsung is working hard to attract Galaxy device owners to visit and download apps from the Galaxy Store, its own app store, which rivals Google's Play Store and is pre-installed on all certified Android phones. To do this, Samsung has announced the arrival of Netflix and an exclusive incentive to download it — a special Samsung-only look at the forthcoming Squid Game season 2 Netflix series.

Visit the Galaxy Store and an “exclusive, never-before-seen clip” from Squid Game season 2 will be yours, which is said to provide a “darker, twisted look into the storyline for the upcoming season, and is only available on the Galaxy Store.” You’ll have to be quick to see it, though, as the clip expires on December 26, when Squid Game season 2 premiers on Netflix.

Capcom has been firing on all cylinders for the past couple of years.

But there was one beloved series we never thought would make a comeback: Okami.

However, not only has that studio been reborn as Clovers, but its first project is Okami 2, a direct sequel to the cult classic. Whether you've been waiting all these years for a sequel or this is your first time hearing about it, let's go over everything we know so far about Okami 2.
