Fortnite had introduced the Pickaxe Frenzy LTM for the Lachlan skin cup. As the name suggests, the mode removes all the weapons from the game and players need to swing their pickaxes and dodge their opponents simultaneously to secure a win. The LTM was undoubtedly a huge hit, and the community had been expecting its return for a long time.

One of the latest Milestone Challenges requires players to light up campfires. The challenge extends across 5 stages, starting from three campfires and eventually leading to 15, 50, 100, and 150 campfires. Interestingly, campfires do not work in Pickaxe Frenzy, and players can continuously light up a single campfire.

A Reddit post on r/FortNiteBR further informs that players can light up a single campfire 150 times and complete the challenge with the utmost ease.

While Epic Games is yet to patch the glitch, a lot of players have best utilized it and leveled up faster than ever.

Even though Pickaxe Frenzy seems fun because of no weapons, the close-range melee combat in the mode gets really intense at times. Moreover, players need to ensure their safety while completing the ‘campfire’ challenge.

The LTM also limits a player’s maximum resources to just ten per resource, making it impossible to build monumental structures. A build in a Pickaxe Frenzy can only hinder the opponent’s mobility.

Hence, it is wise to build a structure around you before lighting up the campfire. Even if a player approaches, the structures will provide you with enough time to avoid an unfortunate situation.
