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 new "instruments" option in the locker, has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback from players.

The update doesn't stop there. Beyond the instrument cosmetics, a Godzilla collaboration delivers fresh outfits and accessories, further enriching the gameplay experience. This follows December 2024's introduction of popular new game modes like Ballistic, LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life, and Fortnite OG.

Fortnite Festival itself continues to expand, offering a unique gameplay experience often compared to Guitar Hero. Players can purchase licensed music and instrument cosmetics from the Item Shop, and recent additions include local co-op and collaborations with renowned artists such as Snoop Dogg, Metallica, and Lady Gaga.

This latest update cleverly integrates Festival instruments into the battle royale mode. Players can now equip microphones, guitars, and other instruments as both pickaxes and back blings simultaneously. The instrument cleverly disappears when used as a pickaxe and reappears upon switching items. A significant Hatsune Miku crossover also adds new outfits and instruments to the game.

Conveniently accessing the new instrument feature is a breeze. Simply navigate to the locker and utilize the new "instruments" sorting option for back blings and pickaxes. Existing instruments previously limited to back bling or pickaxe use have also been updated for Fortnite Festival compatibility.

Alongside the instrument integration, the Godzilla collaboration provides pink and blue edit style options for Godzilla cosmetics. Battle Pass challenges unlock additional Godzilla accessories, including wraps, harvesters, and gliders. The abundance of new content in this update has ignited significant excitement within the Fortnite community.
