Are you even a fortnite player if you don't have these pickaxes?
As Fortnite continues to grow so does the team working behind the scenes. Hence the people making the cosmetic items of Fortnite like pickaxes and skins have been put to hard work since the beginning. Even now we continue to see new pickaxes being pushed out very frequently and the number of pickaxes in Fortnite has gone above 700.
That’s A LOT of pickaxes. So I handpicked 10 pickaxes out of 700 which, I know, are all you need to look good. These pickaxes make your inventory look amazing and are all you need to flex in front of your friends and enemies after a VICTORY ROYALE. The top 10 pickaxes are as follows.
10. Frostbite Cane
The frozen dragon pickaxe.
This is one of my favourite pickaxes just due to its sheer design, looks like something out of Game of Thrones. Equipping this adds a cool, chilly touch to your skin. If I saw you with this pickaxe I’d know one thing for sure, this guy has good taste.

3. Leviathan Axe
You need to have this pickaxe if you like vikings.
This axe reminds me of Vikings with a touch of coldness to it. It has a very unique cool design which is why it's listed as 3rd in this list. It is also a reactive pickaxe which means it changes depending on what you do in the game, for example opening chests, eliminating players, etc.
This cool Viking design paired up with its reactive nature makes the axe one of a kind and a must-have.

2. Reaper
Be the grim reaper and harvest your enemies with this pickaxe.
One of the oldest pickaxes in the game that the OG’s saw back in the day. If you had this back in the day, the whole lobby feared you and you were the biggest sweat in town. Even now when the enemies see this pickaxe, they get intimidated and tend to avoid you throughout the game. That’s the effect of this pickaxe alone.
It has a beautiful design and it's good to tell the enemies that you’re the grim reaper and have come to sweep their souls away.
What makes Reaper great:
- OG pickaxe
- Very popular in pro and casual fanbase of Fortnite.
- Unique and once a type design.

It was also released with a glitch of doing 75 damage to players upon swinging thus making all players buy it immediately, it was fixed later but the community still used it. It has a unique design with a star on a stick and this appealed to the community because it was never seen before.
