Fortnite enthusiasts are buzzing with discontent over the OG Pass being pegged at a steep 1,000 V-Bucks. In the dynamic world of Fortnite, players have been treated to a variety of pass options, including the LEGO Pass, Festival Pass, and the highly debated OG Pass. While the Fortnite Crew subscription bundles all passes, V-Bucks, and a unique skin for $11.99 a month, some players remain adamant about picking their passes individually.
Fortnite OG offers a retro ride to 2017, rekindling memories for long-time players and introducing newer gamers to the game’s roots. This throwback mode took off like wildfire, with an impressive 1.1 million players diving in just hours after it launched. During its first season, Fortnite OG claimed its own space in the Item Shop, featuring the elusive Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper skins—tantalizing choices for collectors.
Redditor Classic-Spiral recently sparked a discussion, arguing that the OG Pass is overpriced since it costs the same as the main battle pass but offers fewer goodies. Where the battle pass teases players with a potential 1,500 V-Bucks as they progress, the OG Pass doesn’t include any premium currency, leaving some fans unimpressed. Classic-Spiral suggested it would be fairer to slash the price in half, mirroring the limited cosmetic offerings compared to the main battle pass.
The conversation doesn’t stop there. Some community members speculate that Epic Games might be nudging players towards the Fortnite Crew subscription. This membership covers all passes, throws in additional V-Bucks, and boasts an exclusive skin each month. While many agree the $11.99 subscription is good value, not everyone is on board with a monthly commitment for their Fortnite fix. Nonetheless, the choice remains: opt for the subscription or shell out more for each pass separately.
Despite its initial allure, Fortnite OG’s charm seems to have dwindled somewhat. Epic recently announced the shutdown of its OG Ranked Zero Build mode due to insufficient player participation—or what they termed “matchmaking health.” While this decision was met with surprise, some players aren’t shocked, suggesting that the OG mode was more of a fleeting re-experience for many. Although there are gripes over pricing and the temporary appeal of Fortnite OG, devoted fans stay hopeful about what lies ahead for Fortnite.
