Chapter 1 Season 3 was just the beginning of what made Fortnite what it is today with the introduction of a living map. Players can experience all of the original map and weapon loot pool changes as the season progresses, and wonder what is going to happen with the meteor in the sky.
A new season means map changes, new items, and, the most important of all, more skins. Below, we explain all of the map and loot pool changes for Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 3 and some of the revamped skins you can get in the OG Pass.
Fortnite OG Season 3 map changes
The Fortnite OG Season 3 map changes bring back the classic feel with minimal alterations, primarily featuring the original Season 2 map layout. A key highlight is the return of the fan-favorite point of interest, Lucky Landing, located at the southern edge of the map below Fatal Fields, known for its abundant loot and intense close-quarters combat. Additionally, a meteor is introduced as a looming event, gradually approaching the island throughout the season, adding a dynamic element reminiscent of Fortnite’s early lore. These changes maintain the nostalgic experience while setting the stage for exciting gameplay moments.

Fortnite OG Season 3 Pass Skins
The Fortnite OG Season 3 Pass features three revamped skins inspired by classic Chapter 1 Season 3 outfits: Power Punk, Mecha R3X, and Sir Raven. Power Punk, a remix of Power Chord, comes with a toggleable astronaut helmet reminiscent of the Mission Specialist and Dark Voyager helmets. Mecha R3X and Sir Raven also have alternate unlockable styles, along with a full set of accompanying cosmetics such as back blings, pickaxes, gliders, and emotes that evoke the original season’s aesthetic. Notable items include the Rebel Pickaxe, Horizon Rider Glider, and Fowl Mantle Back Bling, all designed to bring back the nostalgic vibe of Season 3.

The OG Pass for Chapter 1 Season 3 features 45 tiers of rewards inspired by items released in the original Chapter 1 Season 3. The outfits featured in this season’s OG Pass are revamped versions of skins that appeared in the Shop, rather than the battle pass like previous OG seasons.
Power Chord, Rex, and Raven are getting a new look and will be featured in the OG Pass as Power Punk, Mecha R3X, and Sir Raven. Alongside their new appearances, each skin has an unlockable alternate style in the OG Pass.
The Chapter 1 Season 3 OG Pass will be available until Sunday, June 8, at 1:30 a.m. EDT, which will lead to the Chapter 1 Season 4 OG Pass shortly after.
OG 50v50 limited-time mode
The OG 50v50 limited-time mode has made a much-anticipated return in Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 3, bringing back the classic large-scale battle experience that pits two teams of 50 players against each other. This mode, first introduced in 2017, offers fast-paced, strategic gameplay on the original OG map, allowing players to fight, loot, and build alongside their teammates in epic skirmishes. Available until April 14, 2025, OG 50v50 delivers a nostalgic yet thrilling way to engage in Fortnite battles with massive teams, rekindling the excitement of early Fortnite days.
How will the meteor’s approach change gameplay in Fortnite OG Season 3
The meteor’s approach in Fortnite OG Season 3 will create a mounting sense of tension and anticipation throughout the season, as it gradually draws closer in the sky, reminiscent of the original Chapter 1 storyline that led to major map changes. This looming threat is expected to influence gameplay by adding a dynamic environmental element that keeps players on edge, possibly affecting strategic decisions around key locations like Tilted Towers and Lucky Landing. While the map won’t undergo drastic changes immediately, the meteor’s presence serves as a narrative catalyst, potentially setting the stage for future live events or map transformations as the season progresses.
How will the meteor’s return impact storm mechanics and player safety
In Fortnite OG Season 3, the meteor’s return is primarily a thematic and visual element rather than a direct gameplay hazard like storm damage or instant player threats. It does not alter the storm mechanics or player safety by causing damage or forcing immediate repositioning. Instead, the meteor’s approach builds narrative tension and foreshadows future map changes or events, maintaining the classic storm mechanics players are familiar with. The storm will continue to function as usual, dealing damage to players caught outside the safe zone, without meteor impacts affecting player health or safety directly during this season. Thus, while the meteor looms ominously, it does not change how the storm damages players or how they must navigate it for survival.
