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 dedicated "instruments" option in the locker, has been met with overwhelmingly positive player feedback.

Beyond the musical weaponry, the update boasts new cosmetics from a Godzilla collaboration, providing players with fresh outfits and accessories. The inclusion of festival instruments builds upon the success of Fortnite Festival, a popular game mode often compared to Guitar Hero, featuring licensed music, instrument cosmetics, and recently added local co-op. The mode's popularity has been further boosted by collaborations with renowned artists like Snoop Dogg, Metallica, and Lady Gaga.

This surprise addition allows players to equip microphones, guitars, and other instruments as both back blings and pickaxes simultaneously. The instrument seamlessly transitions between back bling and pickaxe, disappearing when used as a pickaxe and reappearing upon weapon or item switching. The update also features a significant Hatsune Miku crossover, adding new outfits and instruments to the game.

Players can easily find and utilize the new instrument cosmetics by navigating to their locker and using the new "instruments" filter for back blings and pickaxes. Existing instruments previously limited to back bling or pickaxe use have also been updated for use within Fortnite Festival.

In addition to the instrument additions, the update includes new Godzilla-themed cosmetics, offering pink and blue edit styles along with a range of accessories like wraps, harvesters, and gliders, unlockable through battle pass challenges. The wealth of new content has generated considerable excitement within the Fortnite community.
