Epic is introducing another cosmetic item that will only be for people who pay for the Fortnite Crew.
A new pickaxe will be introduced to Fortnite that is only for those with the Fortnite Crew. The whole thing will debut on November 15 at 8 pm EDT. It is a pretty big pickaxe that will be customizable.
For every month you’re an active Fortnite Crew subscriber, you’ll unlock a new Stage of the Photonic Legacy Set until you get to Stage 6. Stage 1 of the Set – unlockable immediately starting November 15 – is available to unlock until May 31, 2023, at 8 PM EDT. The next Stages unlock at the same time you receive your monthly Crew Pack while subscribed (the last day of each month at 8 PM EDT / 7 PM EST).
Pickaxe stages
- Stage 1: Every active Fortnite Crew subscriber immediately unlocks the Photonic Striker Pickaxe.
Not already a subscriber? Players who subscribe to Fortnite Crew from Nov. 15, 2022, at 7 PM EST to May 31, 2023, at 8 PM EDT will also unlock the Pickaxe immediately!
- Stage 2: Receive the Advanced Style of the Photonic Striker Pickaxe.
- Stage 3: Receive the dual-wield Cyberlight Style of the Photonic Striker Pickaxe.
- Stage 4: Receive the dual-wield Tuned Style of the Photonic Striker Pickaxe.
- Stage 5: Receive the Complex Style of the Photonic Striker Pickaxe.
- Stage 6: Receive color options for the Photonic Striker Pickaxe (applicable to any Style): Laser Red, Radiant Blue, and Magnetic Green (in addition to the default Energy Orange).
As with the Zen Legacy Set (formerly called The Fortnite Crew Legacy Set), there is no time limit to unlock all Stages of the Photonic Legacy Set after you’ve unlocked Stage 1. Progress through the Stages at your own pace!
Your unlock progress in a Crew Legacy Set can only begin after the specific Crew Legacy Set’s release date. Any months of being a Fortnite Crew member before the Set’s release date does not apply towards unlock progress.
