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, readily accessible via a new "Instruments" option in the locker, has been met with enthusiastic player response.

Beyond the musical weaponry, the update boasts new cosmetics from the Godzilla collaboration, including outfits and accessories. This builds on December 2024's additions of game modes like Ballistic, LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life, and Fortnite OG.

Fortnite Festival itself continues to expand, offering a unique gameplay experience reminiscent of Guitar Hero. Players can purchase licensed music and instrument cosmetics from the Item Shop. Recent additions include local co-op and collaborations with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Metallica, and Lady Gaga.

The ability to equip instruments as both pickaxes and back blings simultaneously is a surprising and welcome addition. The instrument seamlessly transitions between roles – disappearing when used as a pickaxe and reappearing upon switching items. This update also features a Hatsune Miku crossover, bringing new outfits and instruments to the game.

The streamlined "Instruments" sorting option in the locker simplifies access to these new cosmetic items. Existing instruments previously limited to back bling or pickaxe use have been updated for compatibility within Fortnite Festival, enhancing their functionality.

Finally, the Godzilla collaboration delivers pink and blue edit style options, along with unlockable accessories like wraps, harvesters, and gliders, earned through battle pass challenges. The abundance of new content has generated considerable excitement within the Fortnite community.
