In a press release earlier today, Warner Bros. Games, Epic Games , and DC Comics announced the release of the Fortnite: The Last Laugh DLC bundle , which will add the infamous Joker and Poison Ivy as playable character skins. Also included in this batch of content is an original character named Midas Rex, as well as three new Back Blings (Laugh Riot, Back Bloom, and Midas Crest), four Pickaxe weapons (Bad Joke, The Joker's Revenge, Ivy Axe, and Kingmaker), a new flight Contrail dubbed "Pick a Card" and a bonus of 1,000 V-Bucks. Fortnite: The Last Laugh is available across all major platforms as a physical disk costing $29.99, with Epic promising that it will be brought to the in-game store at a later d

It's still cool that Fortnite continues to bring parts of its history from the dead as many players had assumed the OG Pickaxe wouldn't make its return. The same goes for the purchasable OG Default skins , which are now obtainable by using V-Bucks in the item shop. Hopefully, _Fortnite _ 's weird decision to make the OG Pickaxe part of the Limited Time Offers doesn't lead to malicious purchases in the fut

The reason for this change is currently unknown. It's possible it was done to prevent players from only playing Team Rumble to complete challenges, thus promoting Fortnite 's other game modes. With highly desirable prizes like the new Fortnite Rick Sanchez skin, the added challenge could make se

On November 2, Epic announced that Fortnite would be arriving on next-gen consoles with some serious graphical upgrades. In the spirit of remembering Fortnite's past achievements, Actionmixhub.com Epic announced that players would have the opportunity to redeem the free Original Pickaxe which is also known as the Default Pickaxe from the first season of Fortnite . While the release date for said pickaxe was not announced, players were made aware that they would only have until January 15, 2021 to redeem the OG Pick

Today, the Original Pickaxe hit the item shop along with the previously leaked OG skin sets. However, the OG Pickaxe is not gifted to players upon logging in like previous free items. Instead, it is listed under the Limited Time Offers section of the item shop, which usually houses bundles that can only be purchased with real money. When players redeem the OG Pickaxe, they are required to purchase the item from their console's store or the Epic Games Store on PC. When tested on the PS4, the player was required to enter their credit card information regardless of the item having a total cost of

With over half of Fortnite's player base being between the ages of 10 and 12, it's unlikely that they will have their own credit card and will have to use their parents if they intend to redeem the OG Pickaxe. It's hard not to think back to the popular 2018 meme that fictionalized children stealing their parents' credit cards to buy V-Bucks . Most platforms have the option to save credit card information for future use, and this one-time free redemption of the OG Pickaxe could lead to accidental or intentional purchases in the future. While Epic Games may not have malicious intent when requiring the Pickaxe to be redeemed through the system's store, it does raise the question as to why the developer wouldn't distribute the item the same way it has in the p

Whatever the reason, the change has not been implemented well, and fans are upset. Epic Games has not made any statement regarding Team Rumble. The change may be reversed at a moment's notice. Given the reception, it's very likely. Until more information is released, players will either need to brave the storm or play Fortnite in a different m

Rewarding players with free cosmetics is a great way to encourage them to complete whatever goal they are tasked with. This has proven effective for several Fortnite events including the crossover with Rocket League , concert with Travis Scott, and Marvel Knockout Super Series. This is also a great way for _Fortnite _ to retain its current player base while drawing in former players who have been away from The Island for a little too l

Fortnite _ may be getting an upgrade to run at 120 frames per second on the Xbox Series X/S, on top of the enhancements it's already gotten for the next-gen consoles. From what started as a simple concept, _Fortnite has grown into one of the biggest games in the world. Its popularity stays strong to this day, with many fans curious about how the game will hold up in future conso

There are four different exclusive rewards that players can earn when playing with long-lost friends. After one round, players will receive the Reboot Emoticon. After five rounds, players will receive the Key Change Music Pack. After 10 rounds, players will receive the Twin Talons Pickaxe. And after 20 rounds, players will receive the Holofoil Wrap. It is not specified whether or not both players will receive the rewards after reaching each goal. It also remains unknown when this program will be available worldwide.
