Fortnite is packed with cosmetics which can be acquired through the in-game store or by progressing through the battle pass. However, it’s not often that Epic Games give away a harvesting tool as stylish as the Midnight Scythe Pickaxe as a bonus for buying V-Bucks.
If you’re running low on V-Bucks, now is the perfect time to stock up on the in-game currency and secure yourself a new cosmetic at no extra cost.
