Fortnite enthusiasts are urging Epic Games to introduce a lightsaber Pickaxe skin in light of the game’s latest collaboration with Star Wars. Fans have proposed several creative ideas to set this pickaxe apart from the traditional lightsaber weapon. Suggestions include different color variations and even introducing a “toy” lightsaber version. This collaboration has unveiled exciting new content, including the premiere of the animated series “Tales of the Underworld” and a variety of new skins and weapons.
Over its nearly eight-year history, Fortnite has successfully executed various crossovers, integrating elements from anime, comic books, and major film franchises. Each collaboration has expanded the game’s offerings, showcasing iconic characters from beloved series like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Arcane. Now, with the latest integration of the Star Wars universe, players are particularly eager for the inclusion of a lightsaber as a pickaxe. The recent Star Wars crossover is touted as Fortnite’s most ambitious yet, introducing new game modes, skins, and engaging features.
Players can now experience the exclusive debut of the “Tales of the Underworld” series directly within the game, allowing them to watch the first two episodes. The event also introduced the “Galactic Battle” game mode, featuring a unique boss fight against Darth Vader. Despite these exciting additions, fans still hope for the addition of a lightsaber pickaxe. Many players have taken to Reddit to express their desire for this iconic weapon to be included as a pickaxe option.
Some users highlighted previous Star Wars-centric pickaxes and lamented the absence of a lightsaber variation. The latest collaboration saw the introduction of the “Death Smasher,” depicted as a mini Death Star, although lightsabers remain exclusive to weaponry within the game. The call for a lightsaber pickaxe resonated strongly among fans, who provided alternative suggestions for its design, such as toy versions or even scaled-up LEGO adaptations. The current Star Wars collaboration has also positively impacted other games within the Fortnite family, with LEGO Fortnite receiving updates and Rocket League implementing new Star Wars-themed content.
This collaboration appears to be a resounding success among fans of the franchise.
