In the latest update for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, players are now thrilled with the ability to transform Fortnite Festival's instruments into pickaxes and back blings. This exciting feature, introduced in December 2024, has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community. Alongside this, the season has introduced a variety of new modes such as Ballistic, LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life, and Fortnite OG, enriching the gaming experience significantly.
Fortnite Festival, a standout mode within the game, has been drawing comparisons to the beloved Guitar Hero franchise. Players can engage with different instruments, playing through a selection of songs, and even purchase licensed music and instrument cosmetics from the Item Shop. The addition of local co-op has further enhanced the mode's appeal, allowing friends to enjoy the musical experience together. To boost the mode's popularity, Epic Games has collaborated with renowned artists including Snoop Dogg, Metallica, and Lady Gaga.
In a surprising move, Epic Games has enabled players to use Fortnite Festival's instruments within the battle royale mode. Options now include microphones, guitars, and more, which can be selected as both back blings and pickaxes. When used as a pickaxe, the instrument vanishes from the character's back and reappears upon switching to another item or weapon. Adding to the excitement, this update features a collaboration with Hatsune Miku, introducing new outfits and instruments to the game.
Fortnite’s Instruments Can Now Be Used as Pickaxes and Back Blings
To utilize this new feature, players can navigate to the game's locker and filter their back blings and pickaxes by selecting the "instruments" option. This update not only allows the use of instruments as back blings and pickaxes but also modifies those previously exclusive to these categories for use within Fortnite Festival. This highly requested feature has been warmly received by the Fortnite community.
Additionally, the latest update brings new cosmetics from a collaboration with Godzilla. Fans can choose between pink and blue edit styles and unlock various accessories such as a wrap, harvester, glider, and more by completing battle pass challenges. With an array of new content to explore, Fortnite's latest update continues to captivate and excite its fanbase.
