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 numerous additions that have been warmly welcomed by the Fortnite community. In December 2024, Epic Games enhanced the game with new modes like Ballistic, LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life, and Fortnite OG.
Fortnite Festival, a significant mode within Fortnite, has introduced several unique features that many fans liken to the beloved Guitar Hero franchise. Players can enjoy using different instruments to play through various songs and can purchase licensed music and instrument cosmetics from the Item Shop. Epic Games recently added local co-op to Fortnite Festival, allowing players to enjoy the mode together. To further promote the mode, Fortnite has collaborated with major artists such as Snoop Dogg, Metallica, Lady Gaga, and more.
Epic Games has delighted many fans by enabling the use of Fortnite Festival instruments within the battle royale mode. Players can now choose 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 upon switching to another item or weapon. This update also features a crossover with Hatsune Miku, bringing multiple new outfits and instruments to the game.
Fortnite’s Instruments Can Now Be Used as Pickaxes and Back Blings
Players eager to try out 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 usable within Fortnite Festival. This change offers players a fresh way to interact with these items. The community's response to this much-requested feature has been overwhelmingly positive.
The latest update also introduces new cosmetics from the collaboration between Fortnite and Godzilla. Fans of the iconic monster can choose between pink and blue edit styles. As players complete battle pass challenges, they can unlock accessories like a wrap, harvester, glider, and more. With so much new content to explore in Fortnite's latest update, fans are thrilled about the expansive offerings the game now provides.
