Alexandr "Alexandr Tretyakov" Tretyakov
As of now, Battle Royale features 1,570 different pickaxe skins. In the game, each one has its own rarity (Legendary, Epic, etc.), but players determine the value of skins differently: they consider how long it has been since a pickaxe last appeared in the shop. The longer it has been absent, the more desirable and prestigious it becomes.

Diamond Jack

📅 Added to the game: April 22, 2020
Currently, Diamond Jack is the rarest pickaxe in Fortnite. It is part of the Travis Scott collaboration and belongs to the corresponding set. It’s almost scary to imagine how much it would weigh in real life!
Psycho Buzz Axes

📅 Added to the game: August 27, 2019
The fearsome weapon of the Psycho Bandit! These axes were available only as part of the Mayhem Bundle, dedicated to Borderlands. They embody the spirit of the wastelands, striking fear into enemies who recognize the insanity of their wielder.
Pop Axe

📅 Added to the game: February 20, 2020
A very minimalist yet rare pickaxe in Fortnite. It belongs to the Vivid Vision Set and features a stunning design resembling random splashes of blue, orange, and pink paint.
Venom Blade
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: June 23, 2020
The Venom Blade looks dangerous at first glance. Its sharp edges and distinctive colors resemble both a wasp’s stinger and a biohazard symbol. It’s no surprise that this design is part of the Team Toxic Set.
Cold Hearted
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: January 22, 2020
Skins from the Frozen Legends series embody the icy chill of winter. However, Cold Hearted adds a touch of love for balance. Striking opponents with a frozen, winged heart? Now that’s comedy on the battlefield!
Frozen Beak
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: January 22, 2020
Like Cold Hearted, the Frozen Beak is part of the Frozen Legends Set. This weapon is more serious in tone—its shape resembles an animal’s ribcage, though upon closer inspection, you’ll see it’s steel-crafted imitation.
Leviathan Axe
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: December 4, 2020
The weapon of the God of War, Kratos, from the game of the same name. The Oathbreaker Set is one of the community’s favorites, and it’s easy to see why—the axe is massive, intimidating, and features unique animations.
Lazer Axe
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: August 23, 2019
The Lazerism Set brought not only great music to the game but also an incredibly valuable axe! With golden elements, sun-like shapes, and unique animations, this weapon is one of the most prized in Fortnite. Turn on Default Fire and charge into battle!
Snake Eyes Katana
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: January 31, 2021
The legendary sword from G.I. Joe, part of the Arashikage Clan Set. Snake Eyes fits perfectly with most serious character skins and adds style to every fight. It’s not just about winning—you have to win with flair.
Grim Axes
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: October 15, 2020
The Ultimate Reckoning and Final Reckoning Sets introduced many impressive skins inspired by Day of the Dead. Grim Axes not only complement these looks but also remain one of the most desired skins.
Blooming Bones
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: October 26, 2019
Blooming Bones ended up being one of the least popular skins in the Final Reckoning Set. This led to its long absence from the item shop, making it an extremely rare find today.
Blooming Doom
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: October 15, 2020
Surprisingly, Blooming Doom appears to be an improved version of Blooming Bones, despite belonging to the "junior" Ultimate Reckoning Set. Its cold steel blends beautifully with bright flowers. Memento mori!
Volcanic Glass Daggers
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: May 28, 2021
These daggers look incredible in the game. The Cosmere Castaway Set hasn’t been in the shop for a long time, but since players are eager for its return, you might soon have the chance to own the Glass Daggers!
Proton Pickaxe
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: October 25, 2020
It’s still a mystery who came up with the Proton Pickaxe, but that person is undoubtedly a genius. Released as part of the Ghostbusters collaboration, just the thought of going into close combat with ghosts brings a smile to your face.
Piltover Warden Hammer
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: January 23, 2022
Under this name, Epic Games sold Jace’s hammer from League of Legends. This set was only available once, during Riot Games’ collaboration to celebrate the release of the Arcane series. For Piltover!
Pow Pow Crusher
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: November 5, 2021
Another weapon inspired by League of Legends. While it’s not an in-game hammer, the Pow Pow Crusher clearly follows the chaotic, tech-heavy aesthetic of the Zaun undercity. The green glow suggests it’s not the most eco-friendly fuel source.
The Goldenbane Mace
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: May 10, 2022
Великолепная mace, выполненная в черно-золотых цветах. Дизайн явно отсылает к китайской мифологии, где дракон является символом силы и власти. Mace является частью Goldenbane Guardian set.
Knight's Torment
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: May 5, 2022
Yes, this pickaxe is literally a sword. The Honor, Glory, Gold Set features a futuristic knight’s arsenal, and we’re certain that in the hands of Omega Knight, this blade could truly shatter stone.
Night Slicer
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: November 15, 2018
If you consider yourself a master chef on the battlefield, then you definitely need to check out the Pizza Pit Set. The Night Slicer offers a unique experience of slicing opponents into perfectly triangular pieces.
Beep & Boop
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: March 29, 2022
It’s hard to say exactly what Mainframe Break Set was aiming for. The attempt to create a cyber-anime idol didn’t quite succeed, but over time, players grew to love this unusual and exclusive set.
Twinblades
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: October 20, 2021
A pair of deadly knives from the DUNE universe. While they may seem unconventional as pickaxes, they perform exceptionally well in battle. With these, you won’t fear the heart of a sandstorm!
Pneumatic Pop-Axe
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: March 20, 2022
Mecha-Pop is one of Fortnite’s classic characters. The Round-Bot Set introduced his personal weapon, which perfectly complements the charming yet dangerous robot's aesthetic.
Maker Hooks
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: October 20, 2021
Another weapon from the DUNE Set. Unlike Twinblades, the Fortnite community wasn’t too excited about the Maker Hooks. Maybe you’ll be the one to conquer Shai-Hulud with them!
Street Blade
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: September 1, 2020
A terrifying weapon wielded by the original character Seeker from the Street Serpent Set. When designing this skin, developers were clearly inspired by primitive spears and tools, proving that even simple weapons can be deadly in the hands of a skilled warrior.
Tropical Hazard Kebab
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: April 29, 2022
The last six spots in our ranking are occupied by skins from the Street Fighter Set, which appeared during various Capcom collaborations. Tropical Hazard Kebab is truly unique—it’s a shish kebab skewer that slowly disintegrates with each hit!
Seven Star Flashing Flail
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: February 21, 2021
A mace designed in the style of Chun-Li from Street Fighter. The weapon's head is shaped like her spiked gauntlets, the handle features the blue-and-gold dress pattern, and white ribbons flutter in the wind, signaling that a powerful strike is about to land.
Signpost Pummeler
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: February 21, 2021
One of the strangest pickaxes in the game. The Signpost Pummeler from the Street Fighter Set is literally a wooden street sign, repurposed into a weapon for smashing enemies! It’s likely the work of Ryu.
Guile's Knuckle Buster
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: August 8, 2021
Even outside of the Street Fighter theme, Guile’s axe looks fantastic. Its sharp, military-style design in khaki colors gives it a perfect military aesthetic, making it a formidable weapon in the hands of a skilled fighter.
Delta Red Bowie Blade
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: April 29, 2022
The signature weapon of Cammy from Street Fighter. It has an unusual design for a Bowie Blade, which typically resembles a military knife. But we’re not fooled! This weapon clearly has the futuristic shape of a Kusarigama sickle.
Fighting Tournament Trophy
Image: ensigame.com
📅 Added to the game: April 29, 2022
Another unusual pickaxe. The Fighting Tournament Trophy is Sakura’s weapon from Street Fighter, and it lives up to the honor. It may not be ideal for breaking stones, but opponents definitely won’t be happy getting smacked by a massive stone fist!
It goes without saying that these items hold far greater value than any Legendary item, and it’s not about their price. These skins carry the history of the game and the stories of their owners.
Who knows? Maybe one day, one of the skins you own will be featured in a collection like this one!
