Fortnite OG Season 7: Map Battle Pass Weapons Updates – December Patch Notes

Guides

Fortnite OG Season 7 patch notes drop massive map overhauls, a stacked Battle Pass, and live events that shake up the island forever.


The season marked a turning point with a new snow biome created by a crashing iceberg, the debut of airplanes, the arrival of one of the most notorious weapons ever added, and a live event that still sits in Fortnite history. Check out the full Fortnite OG Season 7 patch notes here that pull these moments together again so players can revisit the chaos in a sharper, faster form.

Fortnite OG Season 7 Downtime Details

Fortnite OG Season 7 downtime starts ahead of the new update’s release, bringing server maintenance as Epic Games prepares the latest map updates and gameplay adjustments. During this period, matchmaking is disabled, and players must log out until maintenance ends. Once servers return, users can access new features, seasonal cosmetics, and balance changes included in the patch. Epic typically announces downtime details on social media, so checking official channels helps players know exactly when to jump back in.

The downtime for Fortnite OG Season 7 starts on December 11, 1:00 AM PST, and ends on 2:30 AM PST. This update comes with the LEGO Fortnite update and Chapter 7 expansion. You can jump back in the game after maintenance and download the update. Make sure to install all shaders to have a seamless gameplay experience.

Fortnite OG Season 7 Full Patch Notes

Fortnite OG Season 7 brings notable map adjustments, fresh Battle Pass content, and new live-event hooks that refresh the game’s visual and gameplay rhythm, while keeping core mechanics intact for veteran players returning to the Island.

Fortnite OG Season 7 Map Changes

With the Fortnite OG Season 7, the southwest edge of the island changes in a big way when a huge iceberg slams into it and covers the area in snow. As a result, Greasy Grove and Flush Factory are crushed. However, the impact adds three new landmarks in Polar Peak, Frosty Flights, and Happy Hamlet. Later in the season, the northwest corner will gain The Block. This is what originally turned player creations into a regular part of the map.

Fortnite OG Season 7 Weapons

The Season 7 update is where the game removes several weapons from the loot pool and adds nothing. However, you will see the game-breaking weapons like the Infinity Blade and a couple of other items slowly being added as the weeks progress.

That said, check out the full list of Fortnite OG Season 7 weapons and loot pool:

  • Assault Rifle
  • Scoped Assault Rifle
  • Thermal Assault Rifle
  • Suppressed Assault Rifle
  • Heavy Assault Rifle
  • Infantry Rifle
  • Minigun
  • Tactical Shotgun
  • Pump Shotgun
  • Compact SMG
  • Suppressed SMG
  • Pistol
  • Suppressed Pistol
  • Dual Pistols
  • Hand Cannon
  • Scoped Revolver
  • Heavy Sniper
  • Infinity Blade
  • Suppressed Sniper
  • Hunting Rifle
  • Grenade Launcher
  • Rocket Launcher
  • Bottle Rockets
  • Cluster Clingers
  • Dynamite

Season 7 also added ziplines and airplanes for the first time in Fortnite Chapter 1. While the game has now evolved, if you are playing OG Season 7, avoid the Fortnite airplane X-4 Stormwing, as falling can take you down instantly.

Fortnite OG Season 7 Live Events

One of the main reasons why Fortnite Season 7 is famous is the mid-season Ice Storm event. The lead-up to the final earthquake and the whole map being covered in snow is still an iconic moment. You can expect the weeklong storms to return with OG Season 7. Fortnite also officially revealed that Winter Wonderland is coming to OG Season 7.

Fortnite OG Pass Season 7

The Season 7 OG pass includes fresh takes on three skins from the original Season 7 battle pass. Sgt Winter, Lynx, and Onesie all return, though Onesie draws the most attention since the teaser shows a pattern built from one of Fortnite’s emoticons. This hints that the new Onesie may let you apply any emoticon you own.

The pass does not feature a new Ice King even though he is the season’s central figure, which makes him a strong candidate for an item shop update.

The OG pass carries style options for each skin along with matching back blings, pickaxes, wraps, and emotes. It costs 1,000 V Bucks and is included with Fortnite Crew. With the Fortnite OG Season 7 update patch notes, we can also see the new OG umbrella.

How do you defeat the Ice King boss

The Ice King boss people are currently discussing in guides is from the co-op game Split Fiction, not Fortnite, and the strategy depends heavily on reading his attack patterns and timing grapples on his weak point.​

Phase 1 basics

  • Stay alive on the initial platforms by dodging the tall ice pillars and ground-spreading ice waves; use dashes and jumps to move into the safe gaps.​

  • When the Ice King rears up and exposes the glowing crest on his chest, the tree-form character must grapple it to pull him down so the other player can unload attacks.​

Phase 2 basics

  • In the underwater/tornado phase, focus on survival first: avoid the central large ice tornado and smaller ones, then swim down to activate the red flower and throw it so it can be used against him.​

  • After the arena changes and the pond is frozen, bait his explosive projectiles so they break the ice, then repeat the flower-into-face mechanic to expose the chest crystal again and finish the fight.​

If you meant a different game’s “Ice King” (for example a custom Fortnite mode or another title), say which game and mode so the strategy can be matched more precisely.
