The rarest pickaxe in Fortnite is a feature that adds to all the joy and humor of using a pickaxe to eliminate your opponents. Imagine how much more effective, enjoyable, and fun it would be if you used a new, upgraded pickaxe — one that can hit hard and fast and in style.
1. Candy Axe
Table of Contents
Candy Axe is a rare Fortnite harvesting tool that glows brighter as players receive more eliminations in Fortnite Battle Royale. Candy Axe is a holiday-themed harvesting tool that only seems to show up in the Fortnite Item Shop around the holiday season when they’re gosh-darn-close to impossible to get. It’s a great pickaxe if you want something truly special in your collection!
2. AC/DC
The AC/DC pickaxe is one of the most unique items in Fortnite. Its unique design matches its unique rarity, being an Epic rarity pickaxe that requires a high tier to unlock. The pickaxe features the same colors as the band’s logo and is reminiscent of those on their lightning bolt guitar. Although the pickaxe does not feature any lightning bolts, pairing it with other matching Epic items makes for a stunning look.
3. Tooth Pick
Do you have a pickaxe? Of course, you do! But what if your pickaxe was so sweet, so rare, that your friends would kill for it? Like a fine wine or high-quality milk, Tooth Pick has been aged to perfection. Tooth Pick is a Fortnite item that’s only available in limited quantities — you can’t just walk into any store and buy this baby.
4. Armature
In Fortnite Season 7, the highly sought-after Armature pickaxe was released along with the Tech Ops and Hypernove skins. However, within Fortnite’s massive fanbase, this pickaxe received none of the hype that usually surrounds new releases in the game. In fact, it drew quite a bit of vitriol from the community, who saw little value in it compared to other more useful pickaxes.
5. Permafrost
Permafrost is one of the most elusive of all the pickaxes in Fortnite, and for good reason. It’s also free, so you don’t even have to spend any saved-up V-Bucks to get it! But before you go diving into this guide to find out just how you can nab this epic pickaxe, let’s start by taking a look at Permafrost and what makes it so special.
6. FNCS Axe of Champions
The FNCS Axe of Champions is an extremely rare pickaxe that can be obtained only by winning the FNCS Championship (and potentially losing it if they lose a subsequent Championship). It has to be rotated through the champions of the 7 Epic Games regions. If you see someone coming at you with this pickaxe now, you’ll know they’re a top-tier Fortnite player who’s earned their stripes in the FNCS.
7. Pulse Axe
The pulse axe was an absolute rarity when it dropped in Season 2 of Fortnite. But to weary old, battle-worn scavengers like you and I, it was just another tool. Pulse axes are a type of harvesting tool which can be found in the legendary rarity level in Fortnite. They have been added to the game in Season 2 as part of the survival mode side of things – existing only within the battle pass for their season.
8. Pot O’ Gold
You might remember Pot O’ Gold from the Fortnite Item Shop. This Fortnite skin was available in the Item Shop for 1200 V Bucks on St. Patrick’s Day 2020. It was absent from the Item Shop in 2021 but it might be making a comeback this St. Patrick’s Day! Pot O’ Gold could be making a return to the Item Shop for 2400 V Bucks; get ready to get your spoons out!
9. Raider’s Revenge
Raider’s Revenge is one of the rarest Fortnite items out there because it was a former Season Shop item. Available with Renegade Raider and other legendary skins at tier 35 of Season 1’s Battle Pass, the shop has since been retired — leaving this one-of-a-kind pickaxe with no competition!
10. Star Wand
Only ten days after its release, the coveted Star Wand was already being treated as a historical relic of Fortnite’s past. While only ten days have passed since its initial launch, the Fortnite Star Wand is no longer available to players, who have been faced with the daunting task of acquiring it through the vaults.
