Fortnite Introduces Long-Awaited 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 its latest update for Chapter 6 Season 1, Fortnite has introduced an exciting feature that lets players use Fortnite Festival's instruments as pickaxes and back blings. This season has brought a range of additions that have been warmly received by fans. In December 2024, Epic Games added new modes such as Ballistic, LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life, and Fortnite OG.

Fortnite Festival, a major mode within Fortnite, has added unique features reminiscent of the classic Guitar Hero franchise. Players engage with various instruments and play notes to progress through songs. The Item Shop allows players to purchase licensed music and instrument cosmetics. Epic Games recently enhanced the mode with local co-op, enabling players to enjoy it together. To boost the mode's popularity, Fortnite has collaborated with renowned artists like Snoop Dogg, Metallica, Lady Gaga, and more.

Epic Games has pleasantly surprised fans by allowing Fortnite Festival instruments to be used in the battle royale mode. Players can now select microphones, guitars, and other instruments as back blings and pickaxes. An instrument can function as both a pickaxe and a back bling; when used as a pickaxe, it vanishes from the character's back and reappears when swapped to another item or weapon. This update also features a major crossover with Hatsune Miku, adding multiple outfits and instruments to the game.

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

Players eager to try the new feature can head to the game's locker and use the new "instruments" option to sort their back blings and pickaxes. Fortnite has updated instruments that were previously exclusive to back blings and pickaxes, making them usable within Fortnite Festival. This feature has been highly requested by the community, resulting in an overwhelmingly positive response.

The latest update also introduces new cosmetics for 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 accessories like a wrap, harvester, glider, and more. With a wealth of new content in Fortnite's latest update, fans are thrilled about the game's evolving offerings.
