Well, bags and supplies must be set aside while nostalgia creates a good jolt for the minds: The re-release of OG Season 4 featuring the Shopping Cart is truly something that would have created a tremor within any argument in time. Yes, that is so: The very first and most OG of a vehicle is coming back with a bang, much against the dissenting voices of the off-beats. Epic Games tweeted, “All cart, no brakes. Your chariot awaits. The Shopping Cart is back with OG Season 4,” and the whole internet shook.

So, why is this so much of a big deal in the first place? A Shopping Cart is not simply an item. That would be an insult to the history of Fortnite. It was the original way to get around before ATKs, Quadcrashers, and a couple of others they’ve added since. Clunky, ridiculous, and utterly perfection to cause mayhem. Do you remember those clips of people catapulting themselves from mountain tops out of joy or crazy stunts? That is going to be handy again.

But, of course, as with every Fortnite update, the answers are full of hype, demands, and disorders. Some players are all over with excitement, like @KnightOw7: “It’s about time. The original movement.” Others like @horkays were like “lol, i might come back because of this cart.” @ARMScan is already thinking about “the most stupidest and most awesome tricks of all time.”

Now this one was controversial. Requests flooded the comments-for-some, they’d be ridiculous; for others, they could make a very decent case. @JCrack02 wants account merging back, @WaleedXRue wants OG Rue skin, and @LordoftheArcade is loaded with: “Ayo, where’s the Street Fighter skins?” Classic Fortnite community; never satisfied and always asking for more.

And the storm complaints follow. Several players, including @MattnxtLevel and @Rfortnite118912, keep dissing the OG storm mechanics as “dogshit” and want it fixed. Then @RealValksss said, “Fix OG Mode and make it more accurate.” Not everybody is on board with the throwback vibe.

Oh, the just-name-it chaos doesn’t even finish. @xor2221 joked on Fishsticks using an “iron dome against Peely,” to which @guccione_ape responds, “All Junk, No Brakes,” which, honestly, pretty much sums up the entire Shopping Cart experience. Then there’s @misatosobased, the classic: “Dead game we play GTA 6 now.” Sure, buddy.

So, what’s next? Well, if history tends to repeat itself, then Gaming Cart memes, ridiculous clips, and probably some broken physics will be flooding the net gallery. Will it be here forever? Well, who knows. But for now, it’s back, and players are itching to relive those glory days of yeeting themselves off cliffs with complete abandonment to safety.

Meanwhile, if you start tweeting demands for OG skins, fixed storms, or thicker skins (shoutout to @misatosobased yet again), keep @ing Fortnite. They really do listen… almost. Or just throw yourselves at the chaos while it lasts. Either way, the Shopping Cart exists now; send the mayhem loose.

And, hey, downside: If you spot someone flying through the air in a cart with zero semblance of a plan, that is probably yours truly. No regrets.
