In the latest update for Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, players can now use Fortnite Festival's instruments as pickaxes and back blings, adding a fresh twist to the battle royale experience. This season has introduced a variety of new features that have been warmly welcomed by the Fortnite community. In December 2024, Epic Games rolled out exciting new modes such as Ballistic, LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life, and Fortnite OG, enhancing the game's diversity and appeal.
Fortnite Festival, a significant mode within the game, has been likened to the beloved Guitar Hero series, allowing players to engage with various instruments and play through a selection of songs. The Item Shop offers licensed music and instrument cosmetics, and the recent addition of local co-op has further enriched the mode. To boost its popularity, Fortnite Festival has featured collaborations with renowned artists like Snoop Dogg, Metallica, and Lady Gaga.
Epic Games has delighted fans by enabling the use of Fortnite Festival instruments in the battle royale mode. Players can now equip 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 introduces a collaboration with Hatsune Miku, bringing 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 select 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 change has been a long-awaited request from the community, resulting in an overwhelmingly positive response.
The latest update also features new cosmetics from the Fortnite and Godzilla collaboration. Fans of the legendary monster can choose between pink and blue edit styles and unlock additional accessories like a wrap, harvester, glider, and more by completing battle pass challenges. With an array of new content, Fortnite's latest update continues to captivate and excite its player base.
