Fortnite Adds a Highly Requested Feature

Summary

• Fortnite now allows players to use festival instruments as pickaxes & back blings.
• Players can easily access the new feature in the locker by selecting the "instruments" option, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback.
• In addition to festival instruments, the latest update includes cosmetics for a Godzilla collaboration, offering new outfits & accessories.

In Fortnite's latest update for Chapter 6 Season 1, players can now use Fortnite Festival's instruments as pickaxes and back blings. This season has introduced several exciting additions, which have been warmly received by the community. In December 2024, Epic Games expanded the game with new modes such as Ballistic, LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life, and Fortnite OG.

Fortnite Festival, a significant mode within Fortnite, has brought unique features to the game. Many fans view it as a spiritual successor to the classic Guitar Hero franchise, where players use various instruments to play through songs. The Item Shop offers licensed music and instrument cosmetics. Recently, Epic Games added local co-op to Fortnite Festival, enhancing the social aspect of the mode. To further promote Fortnite Festival, Epic has collaborated with major artists like Snoop Dogg, Metallica, Lady Gaga, and more.

Epic Games has delighted fans by allowing instruments typically used in Fortnite Festival to be utilized in the battle royale mode. Players can now select microphones, guitars, and other instruments as back blings and pickaxes. An instrument can serve as both a pickaxe and a back bling; when used as a pickaxe, it disappears from the character's back and reappears when the player switches to another item or weapon. This update also features a crossover with Hatsune Miku, introducing multiple new outfits and instruments.

Fortnite’s Instruments Can Now Be Used as Pickaxes and Back Blings

Players eager to try this new feature can navigate to the game's locker and use the new "instruments" option to sort their back blings and pickaxes. Fortnite has also updated instruments that were previously exclusive to back blings and pickaxes, making them compatible with Fortnite Festival. This highly requested feature has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community.

The latest update also introduces new cosmetics from the Fortnite and Godzilla collaboration. Fans of the iconic monster can choose between pink and blue edit styles. By completing battle pass challenges, players can unlock additional Godzilla-themed accessories, including a wrap, harvester, glider, and more. With a wealth of new content, Fortnite's latest update has fans buzzing with excitement about all the new possibilities the game offers.
