It’s a new month, so of course there’s a new cosmetic item that’s got every Fortnite player’s head in a spin. The Merry Mint Pickaxe is the cosmetic in question, but it’s not so straightforward to get as simply purchasing it with V-Bucks or completing challenges. Here’s how to get Merry Mint Pickaxe in Fortnite.
Getting the Merry Mint Pickaxe in Fortnite
The Merry Mint Pickaxe is obtained by redeeming a code on your Epic Games account that you play Fortnite on. The code can be obtained by “heading to select retailers in the United States, UK, France and Germany and purchasing any officially licensed Fortnite product while supplies last.”
That quote was pulled from a blog post over on the official Fortnite site announcing the release of V-Bucks Cards coming to retailers in the coming weeks.
According to some players, they were simply given the Merry Mint Pickaxe code by going into their local GameStop in the US and asking for it. Though this may have been a mistake. Still, you’ll be able to pick up a $10 V-Bucks card and get the code all the same.
Once you’ve got the code, you just need to make your way over to the Fortnite Redeem page, sign into your account, and enter the code as you see it displayed.
Then, you’ll need to make sure that your game is updated to the 11.10 update, otherwise you won’t be able to get the pickaxe. Once you’ve got the game updated, simply log into Fortnite as you normally would and you’ll be informed that the Merry Mint pickaxe has been added to your Locker of cosmetics.
