Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix has brought back tons of nostalgic content, and now players have a chance to grab a free cosmetic that perfectly matches the theme. The Golden Scythe Pickaxe, inspired by the legendary Midas character, is available as a free reward. This guide will walk you through exactly how to get your hands on this free Golden Scythe Pickaxe before it disappears. So with that, let’s get grabbing.
How to Unlock the Golden Scythe Pickaxe in Fortnite
The Golden Scythe Pickaxe is a new pickaxe that ties in perfectly with the Chapter 2 Remix theme. It’s especially fitting if you’re planning to use the new Meowdas skin (the cat-themed remix of Midas) from the current Battle Pass. While many cosmetics in Fortnite require V-Bucks, this pickaxe is completely free – you just need to put in a bit of gameplay time to earn it.
Getting the Golden Scythe is straightforward but requires some dedication. Here’s what you need to do:
- Earn 140,000 XP in any Fortnite game mode
- Complete this goal before November 11, 2024, 12 AM ET
Note: XP can be earned in any mode: Battle Royale, Zero Build, LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, Ranked, Save the World, Creative, or Rocket Racing
The quickest way to get your hands on the Golden Scythe Pickaxe is by focusing on Weekly Quests, which give you 25,000 XP for each completed quest.
While Epic Games hasn’t specifically stated if the Golden Scythe Pickaxe will be exclusive to this event, the quest itself is definitely time-limited. Given that it’s themed around the Chapter 2 Remix event, this might be your only chance to get it for free.
Get out there and start earning that XP! With the right approach, you can easily unlock this pickaxe before the deadline. Whether you’re a Midas fan or just love collecting free cosmetics, the Golden Scythe Pickaxe is definitely worth the effort.
