Fortnite OG Map Changes: Chapter 1 Map Returns In Chapter 4 Season 5

The Chapter 1 Fortnite map is back by popular demand, but only for a limited time

That makes it tricky to discuss the map changes as they stand on a new launch day, since some of them will be so short-lived and replaced with drastically different new features very soon.

One major change is just how many places of interest (POIs) there once was on a Fortnite map. The Chapter 1 map featured 18 POIs across two biomes, grass and desert. They return starting today, including fan favorites like Tilted Towers, Greasy Grove, and Retail Row.

As the season goes on and the weekly changes take effect, new POIs and biomes will arrive and alter the island at a pace never before seen in the game. This will include things like a snow biome in Week 3 (November 16 hotfix) and Jetpacks for travel in Week 4 (November 23).

For the Zero Build players, the island has been slightly modified to account for the mode, which did not exist in Chapter 1. This includes ascenders and ziplines that will help players traverse without the aid of building mechanics--a vital inclusion given how some portions of the map would be otherwise inaccessible.

In many cases, the island is exactly as players may remember it, but Epic has adjusted some details as needed to fit the modern context of Fortnite, like keeping in the use of sprinting, sliding, and mantling.

Jump into Fortnite OG today and expect to find the map changes, and the weapon and loot pool changes, to be fast and furious.
