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 this exciting new functionality, the update also boasts cosmetics from the Godzilla collaboration, providing players with fresh outfits and accessories.
The Fortnite Festival mode itself continues to expand, acting as a unique musical experience reminiscent of Guitar Hero. Players can purchase licensed music and instrument cosmetics from the Item Shop, and recently added local co-op enhances the collaborative gameplay. The mode's success is further evidenced by collaborations with renowned artists like Snoop Dogg, Metallica, and Lady Gaga.
This update cleverly integrates Festival instruments into the battle royale mode. Players can now equip microphones, guitars, and other instruments as both back blings and pickaxes simultaneously. The instrument seamlessly disappears when used as a pickaxe and reappears upon switching items. A significant Hatsune Miku crossover further enhances the update with new outfits and instruments.
For quick access to the new instrument feature, players can simply navigate to their locker and utilize the dedicated "instruments" sorting option. Existing instruments previously limited to back bling or pickaxe use have also been updated for Fortnite Festival compatibility. This long-requested feature has been overwhelmingly well-received by the community.
Completing the update is the exciting Fortnite x Godzilla collaboration. Players can choose from pink and blue edit styles for Godzilla cosmetics, and unlock additional accessories like wraps, harvesters, and gliders through battle pass challenges. The wealth of new content has generated significant excitement among Fortnite players.
