The Fortnite OG Season 9 loot pool has officially been revealed, bringing back many of the fan-favourite weapons and items that helped define Chapter 1 Season 9. Alongside the return of Neo Tilted, Mega Mall, and Pressure Plant, players can once again use some of the most iconic weapons from Fortnite’s futuristic era.
Whether you’re jumping into Fortnite OG for nostalgia or experiencing Season 9 for the first time, here’s every returning weapon confirmed so far.
Every Returning Weapon in the Fortnite OG Season 9 Loot Pool
Epic Games has confirmed the following weapons and items are returning in Fortnite OG Season 9.
| Weapon / Item | Returning |
|---|---|
| Drum Shotgun | Yes |
| Combat Shotgun | Yes |
| Tactical Assault Rifle | Yes |
| Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle | Yes |
| Burst SMG | Yes |
| Proximity Grenade Launcher | Yes |
| Grenades | Yes |
| Storm Flip | Yes |
These weapons recreate much of the original Chapter 1 Season 9 experience while giving newer players the chance to use several classic Fortnite favourites.
Combat Shotgun Returns
The Combat Shotgun quickly became one of the strongest weapons during the original Season 9.
Offering excellent range, fast fire rate, and reliable damage, it changed close-range fights and became a favourite for aggressive players.
Its return is likely to make it one of the most sought-after weapons once again.
Drum Shotgun Makes a Comeback
The Drum Shotgun is another returning favourite.
Unlike the Combat Shotgun, the Drum Shotgun focuses on sustained fire, allowing players to overwhelm opponents with rapid shotgun blasts.
Players who enjoy pushing builds and close-range fights will likely be pleased to see it back.
Tactical Assault Rifle Returns
The Tactical Assault Rifle offers a balance between an SMG and a traditional Assault Rifle.
Its accuracy and fast fire rate make it effective in short to medium-range engagements, making it one of the most versatile weapons returning in Fortnite OG Season 9.
Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle
Long-range players also receive a familiar option with the return of the Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle.
Although it doesn’t hit as hard as heavier sniper rifles, its faster follow-up shots make it an excellent choice for applying pressure from distance.

Burst SMG Returns
The Burst SMG delivers quick bursts of damage and rewards players with accurate aim.
It remains one of the more unique SMGs Fortnite has introduced and fits perfectly within the returning Season 9 loot pool.
Proximity Grenade Launcher
Explosive weapons are also making a comeback.
The Proximity Grenade Launcher fires explosives that automatically detonate when enemies move within range, creating additional pressure during fights and forcing opponents out of cover.
Storm Flip Returns
Storm Flip remains one of Fortnite’s most unique utility items.
Instead of dealing direct damage, it creates a temporary storm zone or safe zone depending on where it’s thrown, allowing skilled players to manipulate the battlefield during the closing stages of a match.
Its return is likely to create some memorable late-game moments once again.
Why the Fortnite OG Season 9 Loot Pool Is So Popular
Many players consider Chapter 1 Season 9 to have one of Fortnite’s strongest weapon selections.
The loot pool offered:
- Powerful shotguns
- Reliable assault rifles
- Effective sniper options
- Unique utility items
- Explosive weapons
- Multiple viable loadouts
Rather than relying on a single dominant weapon, players had several competitive choices depending on their preferred playstyle.
Fortnite OG Season 9 Brings Back More Than Weapons
The returning loot pool is only one part of the update.
Players can also look forward to:
- Neo Tilted returning
- Mega Mall returning
- Pressure Plant returning
- A brand-new OG Pass
- New remix versions of Demi and the Devourer
- The Infinity Blade returning during the season’s Unvaulting Event
Together, these additions recreate one of the most memorable eras in Fortnite history.

Combined with the returning map locations and OG Pass, Season 9 is shaping up to be one of the biggest Fortnite OG updates yet.
