In its latest update for Chapter 6 Season 1, Fortnite has introduced an exciting feature allowing players to use Fortnite Festival's instruments as pickaxes and back blings. This season has brought a wave of new additions that have been warmly received by the community. In December 2024, Epic Games enriched the game with new modes such as Ballistic, LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life, and Fortnite OG.
Fortnite Festival, a significant mode within Fortnite, has been likened to the beloved Guitar Hero franchise. Players engage with various instruments to play through songs, and can purchase licensed music and instrument cosmetics from the Item Shop. The recent addition of local co-op to Fortnite Festival has further enhanced the social aspect of the mode. To boost its popularity, Fortnite has collaborated with renowned artists like Snoop Dogg, Metallica, Lady Gaga, and more.
Epic Games has delighted fans by enabling the use of Fortnite Festival instruments within 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 vanishes from the character's back and reappears upon switching to another item or weapon. This update also features a crossover with Hatsune Miku, introducing 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 "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 much-anticipated feature has been met with enthusiastic approval from the Fortnite community.
The latest update also brings new cosmetics from the Fortnite and Godzilla collaboration. Fans of the legendary 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 such a diverse range of new content, Fortnite's latest update has sparked excitement among its player base.
