How to Get the Candy Axe

In the fast-paced world of Fortnite, cosmetics are a key part of individualizing a player's experience. Among these, the Candy Axe stands out as both a visually striking and nostalgic item.

The Candy Axe's reappearance in the item shop is a moment fans eagerly anticipate each year. Its unique design and memorable history make it a must-have for collectors and new players alike. As the closest available alternative to the now unobtainable Minty Axe, the Candy Axe offers a cherished opportunity for players to enhance their in-game arsenal with a touch of holiday cheer.

Obtaining the Candy Axe in Fortnite

To add the Candy Axe to a player's lineup, they need to seize the opportunity during its limited availability in the Item Shop.

The Candy Axe offers more than its eye-catching candy cane aesthetics; it is interactive, lighting up with each elimination, making it a prized addition beyond its nostalgic appeal.
