One Fortnite player has suggested that Epic Games should add toy or prop versions of lightsabers to the popular battle royale, allowing fans to utilize the fake weapons as pickaxes. People have been asking to see lightsabers added as a cosmetic to Fortnite for quite a while, though Epic Games has yet to make the request a reality.
Fortnite recently released its Galactic Battle season, which is its largest collaboration with Star Wars so far. The new mini-season features a loot pool full of blasters, lightsabers, and Force powers for players to use in their attempt to win a match. Gamers can even hop into a Tie Fighter or X-Wing and take to the skies in order to secure a victory.
Fortnite Leak Reveals a New Type of Cosmetic
A prominent Fortnite leaker surprises players by announcing that a new type of cosmetic could be coming to Epic Games' popular battle royale.
In a recent post on Reddit, Full-Bake3943 suggested that Epic Games should give players the option to use an alternate version of a lightsaber as a pickaxe in Fortnite. Their idea involves making pickaxes that look like toys, as they shared an image of a plastic lightsaber as part of their post. This suggestion comes hot on the heels of the community expressing frustration over the lack of lightsabers in the game's most recent battle pass. A lot of gamers were hoping to see some kind of pickaxe lightsaber make its debut with the new Galactic Battle season, but now a large portion of the community believes it might never happen.
Fortnite Players Want Fake Lightsabers as Pickaxes
While some players have expressed disappointment with Fortnite's latest battle pass, others are eager to find alternative solutions to their request. For instance, one person commented that making a toy lightsaber pickaxe would be a natural fit for Epic Games, as it already has a major collaboration with LEGO. They believe that adding LEGO or prop versions of lightsabers to the game would be a simple solution to make more people happy.
As of writing, the Galactic Battle mini-season is scheduled to end on June 7, which means some gamers are already clamoring to find out what the next season of Fortnite will look like. According to several leakers, the upcoming season could be superhero-themed, though it might not be what many people are expecting. Instead of featuring a season full of Marvel or DC heroes, it appears that the upcoming season could focus on original skins and characters. However, it is expected that there will be some kind of collaboration with James Gunn's upcoming Superman film. With a whole Star Wars season to enjoy and even more content on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
