Fortnite enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as Epic Games reintroduces some of the game’s most iconic items in the OG Season Shop. Notably, the Renegade Raider Outfit, Aerial Assault Trooper Outfit, Raider’s Revenge Pickaxe, and Aerial Assault One Glider—originally available in Battle Royale Chapter 1 Season 1 from 2017—are making a comeback.
To acquire these coveted items, players must accumulate specific amounts of XP, reminiscent of the original Season Shop mechanics:
- Aerial Assault One Glider: 500,000 XP
- Aerial Assault Trooper Outfit: 1,000,000 XP
- Renegade Raider Outfit: 1,500,000 XP
- Raider’s Revenge Pickaxe: 2,000,000 XP
This XP can be earned across any Fortnite experience that grants XP, not limited to Fortnite OG or Battle Royale modes. The OG Season Shop is accessible exclusively within the game and will remain open until January 30, 2025, at 7 PM ET.
In appreciation of players who purchased these items in 2017, Epic Games will grant exclusive new styles for the Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper early next year. Additionally, owners of the original Pickaxe or Glider will receive exclusive new styles in spring 2025.
This revival is part of Fortnite’s broader initiative to revisit its roots. The recently launched Fortnite OG mode brings back the original Chapter 1 Season 1 map, complete with classic points of interest and weapons like Burst Rifles and Pump Shotguns. The OG Battle Pass, available until January 31, 2025, offers 45 rewards, including updated versions of classic cosmetics such as the Renegade Rebel outfit.
While many players are excited about the return of these classic items, some have expressed concerns. Certain fans feel that bringing back previously exclusive skins diminishes their rarity and the prestige associated with owning them. Epic Games aims to address these concerns by offering exclusive new styles to original owners, maintaining a sense of uniqueness for long-time supporters.
Overall, the reintroduction of these iconic items and the OG Season Shop reflects Fortnite’s commitment to honoring its history while engaging both new and veteran players. Whether you’re experiencing these items for the first time or reliving the nostalgia of 2017, now is an opportune moment to dive into Fortnite’s rich legacy.
