The game features more than 800 Pickaxes alone, making it tough to choose just one.\u00a0 In fact, there\u2019s no way to pick a universal list of best Pickaxes in Fortnite. With so many options, it\u2019s simply not possible. However, we\u2019ve played our fair share of the game and picked 14 Pickaxes that stand out the most to us. Leviathan Axe The Leviathan Axe is a Pickaxe inspired by Kratos from the God of War series. Similarly to the original\u2019s counterpart, it features a leather-stripped handle and an axe head with runes carved all over it, with some of the finest attention to detail we've seen on weapons of its kind. The Leviathan Axe was released in December 2020 as a part of the Oathbreaker set, which also included Kratos\u2019 shield, the head of Mimir, and the skin of the Greek god himself. Unfortunately, it rarely goes back to the Item Shop, and when it does, it\u2019s worth 1,000 V-Bucks, or 2,000 with the entire bundle.\u00a0 The Axe of Champions The one for the champions. Image by Epic Games via Fortnite.gg We know this one is hard to obtain, but if we\u2019re talking about the best Pickaxes in the game, we couldn\u2019t have done so without mentioning it. To get the Axe of Champions, you had to win the Fortnite Champion Series, which is a feat only a handful of players have actually achieved. This Pickaxe is almost fully golden, with the Fortnite logo engraved at its head. Sadly, it\u2019s not available in the shop at all, and likely never will be. AC\/DC It's a Long Way to the Top. Image by Epic Games via Fortnite.gg Sometimes, all you want to do is smash things with a bit of Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll in the background, and in\u00a0Fortnite,\u00a0you can do just that with the AC\/DC Pickaxe. Its name is a reference to the iconic rock band that began their journey in the 1970s. This Pickaxe itself was released in December 2017, and since then, Fortnite has seen numerous other music-inspired cooperations, including one with Metallica. The AC\/DC skin features two rods electrifying each other, which is a nod to the band\u2019s first internationally released album called High Voltage, which came out in 1976. The Pickaxe itself was a reward in season two\u2019s battle pass, and it doesn\u2019t look like it will return to the Item Shop anytime soon.\u00a0 Adamantium Claws Like they say, Adamantium can get through anything. Image by Epic Games As we said, there are a bunch of crossovers in the world of Fortnite, and numerous of them are with Marvel or DC. Thanks to these, we have received dozens of comic book-inspired Pickaxes, including multiple versions of Adamantium Claws.\u00a0 These were obviously (mostly) inspired by none other than Wolverine, a character who\u2019s been portrayed by Hugh Jackman for more than 20 years now in cinemas. They look sharp and shiny, and come alongside black gloves which are used by the superhero in the comics.\u00a0 Different versions of the Claws randomly go into the Item Shop. The last time it happened was in September 2024, when X-23\u2019s Adamantium Claws were available for 800 V-Bucks. Cap's Shield Just make sure to wear it on your left. Image by Epic Games Another Marvel-inspired Pickaxe in Fortnite worth attention is Cap\u2019s Shield. Like Adamantium Claws, it strays away from the typical Pickaxe look, which may be tough to get used to at first. However, if you\u2019re a comic book fan, you\u2019ll surely appreciate the thin lines between the shield\u2019s circles and the polished star in the middle of it, which make it look as if it was taken straight from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.\u00a0 Cap\u2019s Shield was launched in February 2023. It\u2019s a part of two different sets\u2013Captain America and the BriteStar Bundle and Captain America

The game features more than 800 Pickaxes alone, making it tough to choose just one.\u00a0 In fact, there\u2019s no way to pick a universal list of best Pickaxes in Fortnite. With so many options, it\u2019s simply not possible. However, we\u2019ve played our fair share of the game and picked 14 Pickaxes that stand out the most to us. Leviathan Axe The Leviathan Axe is a Pickaxe inspired by Kratos from the God of War series. Similarly to the original\u2019s counterpart, it features a leather-stripped handle and an axe head with runes carved all over it, with some of the finest attention to detail we've seen on weapons of its kind. The Leviathan Axe was released in December 2020 as a part of the Oathbreaker set, which also included Kratos\u2019 shield, the head of Mimir, and the skin of the Greek god himself. Unfortunately, it rarely goes back to the Item Shop, and when it does, it\u2019s worth 1,000 V-Bucks, or 2,000 with the entire bundle.\u00a0 The Axe of Champions The one for the champions. Image by Epic Games via Fortnite.gg We know this one is hard to obtain, but if we\u2019re talking about the best Pickaxes in the game, we couldn\u2019t have done so without mentioning it. To get the Axe of Champions, you had to win the Fortnite Champion Series, which is a feat only a handful of players have actually achieved. This Pickaxe is almost fully golden, with the Fortnite logo engraved at its head. Sadly, it\u2019s not available in the shop at all, and likely never will be. AC\/DC It's a Long Way to the Top. Image by Epic Games via Fortnite.gg Sometimes, all you want to do is smash things with a bit of Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll in the background, and in\u00a0Fortnite,\u00a0you can do just that with the AC\/DC Pickaxe. Its name is a reference to the iconic rock band that began their journey in the 1970s. This Pickaxe itself was released in December 2017, and since then, Fortnite has seen numerous other music-inspired cooperations, including one with Metallica. The AC\/DC skin features two rods electrifying each other, which is a nod to the band\u2019s first internationally released album called High Voltage, which came out in 1976. The Pickaxe itself was a reward in season two\u2019s battle pass, and it doesn\u2019t look like it will return to the Item Shop anytime soon.\u00a0 Adamantium Claws Like they say, Adamantium can get through anything. Image by Epic Games As we said, there are a bunch of crossovers in the world of Fortnite, and numerous of them are with Marvel or DC. Thanks to these, we have received dozens of comic book-inspired Pickaxes, including multiple versions of Adamantium Claws.\u00a0 These were obviously (mostly) inspired by none other than Wolverine, a character who\u2019s been portrayed by Hugh Jackman for more than 20 years now in cinemas. They look sharp and shiny, and come alongside black gloves which are used by the superhero in the comics.\u00a0 Different versions of the Claws randomly go into the Item Shop. The last time it happened was in September 2024, when X-23\u2019s Adamantium Claws were available for 800 V-Bucks. Cap's Shield Just make sure to wear it on your left. Image by Epic Games Another Marvel-inspired Pickaxe in Fortnite worth attention is Cap\u2019s Shield. Like Adamantium Claws, it strays away from the typical Pickaxe look, which may be tough to get used to at first. However, if you\u2019re a comic book fan, you\u2019ll surely appreciate the thin lines between the shield\u2019s circles and the polished star in the middle of it, which make it look as if it was taken straight from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.\u00a0 Cap\u2019s Shield was launched in February 2023. It\u2019s a part of two different sets\u2013Captain America and the BriteStar Bundle and Captain America
