The Fortnite map changes brought about in the OG event are massive, as the entire Chapter 1 Season 5 map has returned for a bit of nostalgia, completely replacing the previous Chapter 4 map. This map first appeared in Fortnite just over five years ago in the summer of 2018 when Season 5 just started, and it features some classic and notorious locations from Fortnite history. From Tilted Towers, to Paradise Palms, here are the major Fortnite map changes in the OG event.

As you can see from the full Fortnite map above, the island is back to its Chapter 1 Season 5 layout in all its nostalgic glory.  Most of the map is hilly grass terrain, but the west side has more densely packed trees, while the southeast corner is a sandy desert area. There are 20 new (or old) named locations on the island for this event, though expect things to change each week of Fortnite OG. We've listed them all below, as well as highlighted a few favorites:

  • Dusty Divot

  • Fatal Fields

  • Flush Factory

  • Greasy Grove

  • Haunted Hills

  • Junk Junction

  • Lazy Links

  • Lonely Lodge

  • Loot Lake

  • Lucky Landing

  • Paradise Palms

  • Pleasant Park

  • Retail Row

  • Risky Reels

  • Salty Springs

  • Shifty Shafts

  • Snobby Shores

  • Tilted Towers

  • Tomato Temple

  • Wailing Woods

Tilted Towers

Tilted Towers has come, gone, and changed a fair bit over the seasons, but now it's back in its original form, ready for players to hot drop in and wreck every building in big gunfights.

Loot Lake

To the north of Titled Towers, Loot Lake makes a return. Water interactions were very different back in Chapter 1 Season 5 as you couldn't swim, and it wouldn't soften fall damage. Instead, you walk slowly through the water and can't sprint, so getting across the lake is definitely a risky move.

Paradise Palms

Paradise Palms is a fairly large town area surrounded by sandy desert and massive rock formations. It's a massive area with lots of smaller settlements and structures to plunder, and it was the first area to be added to the Fortnite island that represented a radically different biome to grassy hills and lots of trees. It even has a racetrack!

Risky Reels

This open-air cinema location was in and out of Fortnite throughout Chapters 1 – 3, but now it's back. Players may remember promotional footage for both Wreck-It Ralph 2 and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was shown on Risky Reels' screen, so it's an important location in Fortnite history.

Lazy Links

The posh Lazy Links country club is back on the Fortnite island with its tennis courts, swimming pool, and golf course. The golf course was even playable at one point, being a key part of certain Fortnite challenges, so Epic could bring similar challenges back too.

Pleasant Park

Pleasant Park was one of the first locations on the Fortnite map, appearing in Chapter 1 Season 1, but hasn't been seen Chapter 3. The massive area is a great spot for looting and fighting with the central park area serving as a good arena to fight in after ransacking the surrounding houses for weaponry.
