In Fortnite OG Season 3, the most anticipated return is the fan-favorite location Lucky Landing – a vibrant town with unique architecture and blossoming cherry trees. Additionally, other iconic places like 

and Loot Lake. may also make a comeback.

There are also rumors that the legendary meteor and rocket launch events, which were key moments of Chapter 1 Season 4, might return in Season 3.

What Weapons Will Return in OG Season 3?

Fortnite OG is built on nostalgia, and the new season is likely to bring back classic weapons from the game's past stages. Among the expected weapons are:

• Assault Rifles – standard AR, Burst AR, Scoped AR
• Shotguns – heavy, tactical, pump
• Sniper Rifles – Hunting Rifle, bolt-action, semi-automatic

The return of the Hunting Rifle is particularly anticipated, which may bring back the meta of long-range sniper duels, as well as the rocket launcher with guided missiles.

Epic Games has not revealed all the skins that will be in Season 3, but judging by previous seasons, we can expect remixed versions of classic characters from Chapter 1 Season 3. Possible skins include:

Many fans also hope for the return of the iconic emote "Take The L". It is expected that all of these will appear in the updated Battle Pass, which will have 100 levels instead of 75.

How Will Competitive Play and Rankings Change?

With the return of new POIs and weapons, the competitive Fortnite OG meta will undergo changes. Lucky Landing will become a favorite spot for hot drops, and the return of the Hand Cannon and Crossbow may alter close and mid-range combat strategies.
