Fortnite Adds a Highly Requested Feature

Fortnite's Chapter 6 Season 1 update introduces a highly anticipated feature: using Fortnite Festival instruments as pickaxes and back blings. This addition, readily accessible via a new "instruments" option in the locker, has been met with enthusiastic player response.

Beyond this exciting new functionality, the update also boasts cosmetics from the Godzilla collaboration, providing players with fresh outfits and accessories.

The Fortnite Festival mode itself continues to expand, offering a unique gameplay experience reminiscent of Guitar Hero. Players can purchase licensed music and instrument cosmetics from the Item Shop, and recently added local co-op enhances the social aspect of the mode. High-profile collaborations with artists like Snoop Dogg, Metallica, and Lady Gaga have further boosted the mode's popularity.

This update cleverly integrates Festival instruments into the battle royale core gameplay. Players can now equip microphones, guitars, and other instruments as both back blings and pickaxes simultaneously. The instrument seamlessly disappears when used as a pickaxe and reappears upon switching items. A noteworthy addition is the Hatsune Miku crossover, introducing new outfits and instruments.

The streamlined access to the new instrument feature via the locker's dedicated "instruments" tab simplifies the process. Existing instruments previously limited to back bling or pickaxe use have also been updated for use within Fortnite Festival, expanding their functionality.

Finally, the update includes new Godzilla-themed cosmetics, featuring pink and blue edit styles, alongside unlockable accessories like wraps, harvesters, and gliders, earned through battle pass challenges. The abundance of new content has generated significant excitement within the Fortnite community.
