Epic Games has released a hotfix for Fortnite OG Season 7, addressing several weapon and gameplay issues following the mode’s launch last week. The update aims to make OG Season 7 more consistent with its 2018 counterpart, correcting discrepancies in weapon behavior and other mechanics.
The hotfix includes adjustments to several key weapons. Miniguns and Epic and Legendary Heavy Assault Rifles have received spread and recoil updates, bringing their performance closer to original values. The Legendary Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle has been vaulted, while scoped weapons have seen improvements when used airborne and aiming down sights. Burst Assault Rifles now behave differently when sprinting, sliding, or jumping, and Boogie Bombs will now drop in stacks of two.
Gameplay and Mechanics Updates
In addition to weapon changes, the hotfix introduces updates to core gameplay mechanics. Glider Redeploy is now enabled when exiting X-4 Stormwings mid-air, providing more flexibility during flight. Some weapons have temporarily had Jump + ADS interactions removed as Epic Games works on a long-term fix. Reboot Van timing has also been adjusted to match its original OG values, ensuring that certain strategies return to their earlier form.
Epic Games has indicated that further updates to OG Season 7 are likely, especially with the release of Winterfest later this week. The developer continues to monitor player feedback and plans to refine the mode further in future patches.
Winterfest Outfits and Seasonal Content
Alongside the hotfix, Epic Games has revealed the free Winterfest outfits, adding new cosmetic options for players during the seasonal event. Fans can follow Fortnite on 𝕏 (@FortniteBR) and Instagram (@FortniteBR) to stay up-to-date with news, leaks, and official updates.
