How to Get the Fortnite Merry Mint Pickaxe

Starting November 6, gamers in the U.S. can visit their local Gamestop to earn the Merry Mint Pickaxe. Other retailers in France, Germany and the United Kingdom will also have the pickaxe available according to an Epic Games blog post. You’ll need to purchase a piece of Fortnite merchandise, like action figures or keychains, to get the code at checkout needed to unlock the item. There is a limited amount of codes available at these stores, so the longer you wait, the less likely it is you’ll be able to pick one up.

The cheapest eligible item you can buy in the store that’s Fortnite-related is the POP! Funko Keychains, which retail for less than $5. We prefer the Jazwares action figures since the skins can be kind of pretty. The NERF-branded guns also pack a punch. Just make sure to ask for your Merry Mint Pickaxe code at checkout. After all, the cashier might not be as up-to-date on the latest promos as you.

Fortnite is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and mobile. The Merry Mint Pickaxe goes on sale November 6.
