We wrote that Fortnite OG mode has returned to Fortnite with the classic Season 1 map and weapons. At the same time, the mode was filled with bots (but there is an explanation for this).

Here's What We Know

Data miners said that in some Fortnite OG matches, there can be up to 90% of bots. They claim that low skill lobbies (SBMM) can actually have 90% of bots per game. Low SBMM lobbies are designed for players who do not have high skills so that they can play with similarly skilled opponents or with a large number of bots, which helps them feel successful.

This move was made in response to the return of experienced players to Fortnite through Fortnite OG, which could lead to less experienced players not enjoying the game.

And just in the lobby with a high SBMM, there are only 10% of bots and 90% of real players.

Although such a system seems quite normal, so that newcomers do not want to delete the game when they are killed in 5 minutes, but can feel the game and even win.
