The final Fortnite OG update has arrived, bringing loads of weapons and items like Ballers, Jetpacks, Junk Rifts, and more back to the game.
It's been a wild month for Fortnite fans: the old map finally returned and each week has seen content from different Chapter 1 seasons added to the game. Now, it's time for Chapter 1: Season 9 and Season X to have their time in the sun.
Fortnite November 23 update changes
Here's everything that's changed in the latest Fortnite hotfix, from unvaulted weapons to returning vehicles:
More unvaulted weapons
The loot pool has been given another shakeup, with the sneaky Heavy Sniper Rifle and the devastating Proximity Grenade Launcher now available to add to your loadout.
That's not all, as you'll also be able to launch Air Strikes on your opponents, drop a bunch of heavy items on them with a Junk Rift, or give them some Storm damage by chucking a Storm Flip at them.
Ballers and Jetpacks return
If you're already bored of the X-4 Stormwing planes, Quadcrashers, and Driftboards, you'll be glad to know there are two fan-favourite vehicles returning in this update: Ballers and Jetpacks!
With a Baller, you'll be able to roll around the Island once again, knocking enemies out of your way as you go. Or if you'd prefer to take to the skies, the Jetpack will let you hover around and attack opponents from above.
Eminem takes over Icon Radio
As well as getting his own skins in the game, Eminem will be taking over Icon Radio with some of his top songs. You can tune in by entering a vehicle and changing the station to Icon Radio.
Get ready for The Big Bang...
Enjoy the returning content from Chapter 1: Season 9 and Season X while you can, because the OG season is coming to an end on Saturday, December 2, 2023, at 2 PM ET with a live event known as The Big Bang.
We don't know much about this live event yet, but Epic has promised the arrival of "a new beginning for Fortnite" as well as a special appearance from Eminem. It's sure to be a knockout.
