Fortnite Unveils Long-Awaited Functionality

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 new "instruments" option in the locker, has been met with enthusiastic player response.

The update also boasts new cosmetics from the Godzilla collaboration, featuring outfits and accessories for fans of the iconic monster. Players can choose between pink and blue edit styles and unlock additional items like wraps, harvesters, and gliders through battle pass challenges.

Beyond the instrument integration, the update builds upon the success of Fortnite Festival, a popular game mode described by many as a spiritual successor to Guitar Hero. The mode offers licensed music, instrument cosmetics, and recently added local co-op functionality. Epic Games has further promoted the mode through collaborations with renowned artists like Snoop Dogg, Metallica, and Lady Gaga. The ability to equip instruments as both pickaxes and back blings simultaneously adds a unique layer of customization, with the instrument seamlessly transitioning between uses. A Hatsune Miku crossover further enhances the cosmetic offerings with new outfits and instruments.
