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, accessible via a dedicated "instruments" option in the locker, has been met with enthusiastic player response.

Beyond the musical weaponry, the update also boasts new cosmetics from the Godzilla collaboration, including outfits and accessories. This follows December 2024's additions of Ballistic, LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life, and Fortnite OG modes.

Fortnite Festival itself continues to expand, offering a unique gameplay experience likened to Guitar Hero, with licensed music and instrument cosmetics available in the Item Shop. Recent additions include local co-op and collaborations with artists like Snoop Dogg, Metallica, and Lady Gaga.

The ability to equip instruments as both pickaxes and back blings is a surprising and welcome addition to the battle royale mode. Instruments seamlessly transition between roles – disappearing from the back when used as a pickaxe and reappearing upon switching items. This update also features a Hatsune Miku crossover, adding new outfits and instruments.

For easy access to the new instrument feature, players can navigate to their locker and utilize the new "instruments" sorting option. Existing instruments previously limited to back bling or pickaxe use have also been updated for Fortnite Festival compatibility. This change fulfills a long-standing player request, resulting in overwhelmingly positive feedback.

The update also includes Godzilla-themed cosmetics, offering pink and blue edit styles, along with unlockable accessories like a wrap, harvester, and glider, earned through battle pass challenges. The abundance of new content has generated considerable excitement within the Fortnite community.
