Fortnite Reload map: Points of Interest and how to play OG-inspired map
Reload the nostalgia!
Fortnite has a tendency to give the people what they want - from timely crossovers and killer music to nostalgic throwbacks to its early days.
Last year's Fortnite OG was one of its most popular events so far, grabbing the attention of over 44.7 million players.
Which begged the question, will it return this year? It certainly looked that way a few months ago, when the devs posted on X that the OG map will be back in 2024.
Never ones to break a promise, Epic dropped Fortnite Reload on Saturday as a part of update 30.20. But what exactly is it, and how do we play? Let's take a look.
What is Fortnite Reload? New map explained
Fortnite Reload is a team-based mode that takes place on the classic map from Chapter 1, and features weapons from that era too. All the throwbacks!

The official website describes it thus: "Fortnite Reload is a 40-player, Squads only, fast-paced Battle Royale game that is all about carrying the squad to victory.
"Reboot as long as one teammate is still in the action! Loot up after rebooting to get back into fighting shape!
"Eliminate opponents to reboot teammates faster! Near the end of the match, reboots will stop. Lock in with your squad to secure the Victory Royale!"
