OG Pass and Item Shop

To complement this time-traveling adventure, the OG Pass is packed with over 50 in-game items that players can unlock within just four weeks. The OG Pass is available for 950 V-Bucks, and players can earn up to 1000 V-Bucks while progressing through it. Fortnite Crew subscribers will receive the OG Pass as part of their subscription.

The OG Item Shop offers curated selections of classic, mashup, and new items, available for a limited time. New items will be added daily at 7 p.m. ET.

Ranked

Fortnite Chapter 4: Season OG also introduces a new ranked system. With the season being shorter than usual, rank progression will be faster at the higher and middle ranks to accommodate players. Being eliminated early in a match will result in lesser penalties, and rank progression will be slightly faster for players in the Bronze ranks.

Additionally, players will receive Ranked Urgent Quests when they jump off the Battle Bus, and completing these quests will unlock special in-game rewards. By completing just one Ranked Urgent Quest during Fortnite Chapter 4: Season OG, players will unlock the Chapter 1-inspired Ranker’s Tags Back Bling, which displays the color of their highest rank achieved.
