How to Get FNCS Pickaxe
The Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) Pickaxe, once an exclusive reward for regional tournament winners, is about to become accessible to a wider audience. Originally, the prestigious Axe of Champions was granted solely to FNCS champions as a symbol of their triumph.
Recently, an open tournament expanded the distribution, offering the pickaxe to top-performing players in each region. Next week, this iconic item will be available for purchase, giving all players a chance to own a piece of Fortnite history.
The Fortnite FNCS Pickaxe arrives in the Item Shop on September 4
The Fortnite FNCS Pickaxe will make its debut in the Item Shop on September 4 at 8 p.m. ET. This launch is part of a larger offering of FNCS-themed cosmetics. For those who missed out on winning the Pickaxe during the recent FNCS Cup, this presents another opportunity to obtain it.
Rumors suggest that the FNCS Pickaxe will be priced at 800 V-Bucks, appealing to both collectors and fans alike. Unlike previous FNCS items, the Axe of Champions 2.0 will be permanently owned by purchasers, making it a timeless addition to anyone's collection.
What's included in the upcoming FNCS set?
The upcoming FNCS set will feature a variety of items. Players can look forward to purchasing the FNCS Pickaxe as a standalone item. Additionally, the FNCS Bundle encompasses:
- Two Skins
- Backbling
- Wrap
- Axe of Champions 2.0
The complete set is available at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, September 4.
Will there be another Fortnite Champion Series Axe for future winners?
Critics have noted that the Axe of Champions 2.0 has lost its exclusivity now that it is available to everyone. To address this, a new Fortnite FNCS Pickaxe is currently being developed. This third iteration is expected to be awarded exclusively to FNCS winners starting with Chapter 5, beginning with the 2024 FNCS Global Championship.
