Epic knew just what to give Fortnite fans to keep themselves occupied during 2020. They tapped into their sentiments and released a Throwback Axe resembling the original Fortnite default ax. From November 4, 2020, to January 15, 2021, the cosmetic was completely free in the item shop.

Icebreaker

The Icebreaker is the first pickaxe to make its way to the Fortnite item shop. Combined with the fact that it only costs 500 V-Bucks, there is no surprise that most players own it. Despite the fact that it is quite plain-looking, it is an iconic item.

Avid golfers will be happy to know that one of the most popular pickaxes in Epic’s battle royale is based on the sport. While the driver pickaxe is shaped like a golf club, the popular item provides all the utility of a pickaxe. When paired with its accompanying skin, it is one of the best-looking cosmetics in-game.
