As players dive into Fortnite Lawless and all the content it has to offer, they will progress through the Battle Pass to unlock a wide range of creative skins to add to their lockers. However, no skin is complete without a fitting pickaxe to go with it. Here are the best pickaxes available in Fortnite's Battle Pass for the current season.

7 Jar Buster

Looking to run Big Dill as a main skin in Fortnite Lawless? Then the Jar Buster is a must-have. This pickle-themed baseball bat is a great addition alongside the roster of Chapter 6 Season 2 cosmetics, featuring a sleek black and gold design with fun little details—such as various stickers and what appears to be a chibi pickle character hanging off the handle.

While it may not be as flashy as the Kneecapper melee weapon, the Jar Buster is still a solid choice, pairing well with a variety of skins without looking out of place. For those looking for a color swap, the Chamoy Jar Buster offers an alternate style, replacing the black and gold color scheme with a red and black design.

6 Hot Pokers

Double Rapiers From The Quinn Of Spades Set

From pickle baseball bats to dual-wield rapiers, now we have the Hot Pokers—two needle-like blades that players can wield alongside Cassidy Quinn, or any other skin of their choice. These blades may appear uniform at first glance, but they feature several unique details, such as dice embedded in the hilt of each sword and a heart design at the base of each blade.

Another neat touch is that, when equipped with Cassidy Quinn, the Hot Pokers are drawn directly from the sheaths on her character model and are resheathed when not in use. For players looking for an extra color option, the Slurpshooter Hot Pokers offer a stylish alternative, featuring a striking cyan streak along each blade.

5 Elegant Crowbar

Dual-Wield Golden Crowbars From The Robber Queen Set

Next up is the Elegant Crowbar, another dual-wield pickaxe that makes for a great addition to every player's locker. These pickaxes fit great with this season's theme, providing players with the perfect tools to break into vaults and secure Gold Bars and other loot. The Elegant Crowbar is particularly stylish, boasting a solid gold design with purple leather hilts, along with golden chains wrapped around each crowbar—a fitting weapon for its owner, Valentina.

Another standout detail is the golden effects seen when the pickaxes are swung, an awesome touch for those who appreciate the finer details. While the gold crowbars make for a great addition, the Battle Pass also offers the Hazardous Elegant Crowbar, an alternate style that swaps the gold finish for a sleek charcoal gray, whilst also replacing the purple hilts with vibrant pink.

4 Titrationator

Chemical Pickaxe From The Chaotic Concoctions Set

Following the Elegant Crowbar is the Titrationator, a pickaxe that may be one of the most vibrant ever introduced. This makeshift tool appears to be crafted from a stitched-together metal pipe, with a series of chemical-filled beakers attached to the side. These chemical solutions add a striking array of colors to the Titrationator, featuring vibrant pinks and blues converging into a deep purple within one of the beakers.

The nozzle of the pipe also boasts a vivid flame, sporting the same pink and blue hues, adding a neat detail. The pickaxe itself features three distinct art styles that players can choose from, just like its owner, Joss. For a more cartoonish look, players can opt for either the Toon or Outlined Gradient styles. On the other hand, if they prefer a design that fits more closely with Fortnite’s usual aesthetic, the Gradient style is the way to go.

3 Crash Test Cuddler

Now entering the top three is one of the most unique pickaxes in all of Fortnite: the Crash Test Cuddler. This cuddly toy doubles as both a back bling and a pickaxe, allowing players to pull it directly from their backs when in use. The pickaxe itself is an obvious nod to Cuddle Team Leader, taking the form of a pink teddy bear—this time sporting a biker helmet with a neon crown, biker gloves, and a black t-shirt to match.

One of the more hilarious yet creative aspects of this pickaxe is the squeaky sound it makes when swung, paired with the cartoonish effects that appear with each hit. For those looking for a color swap, the Crash Test Cuddler also features an alternate style, replacing the black clothing with cyan and silver, and adding a helmet with pink racing stripes.

2 Fletcher's Cane

A Bladed Surprise From The Baron Set

In second place is Fletcher's Cane, another pickaxe to add to Fortnite's extensive roster of swords. As the name suggests, Fletcher's Cane is, in fact, a cane—allowing players to wield a hidden sword in one hand while holding its sheath in the other. Both the blade’s hilt and the sheath boast a sleek black and gold design—a color scheme that, while frequently used in Fortnite, still looks undeniably awesome.

The pickaxe itself does not disappoint when it comes to small details, featuring a golden wolf at the hilt of the blade, along with intricate gold patterns woven throughout. And with its striking gold and black appearance, players can pair this pickaxe with a wide variety of skins, without making the pickaxe feel out of place.

1 Sub-Zero's Battle Axes

Dual-Wield Ice Axes From The Klassic Kombat Set

In first place are Sub-Zero's Battle Axe s, a fitting addition for players donning the iconic Mortal Kombat character in all his glory. These axes are constructed from ice, featuring a chilling deep blue color that pairs well with skins from the Frozen Legends Pack, along with intricate details—such as jagged patterns across the weapon and a skull molded between the axe blades, almost resembling a devilish figure whose horns take the shape of the blades.

For those seeking a more classic look, players can opt for Sub-Zero's Ice Axes, an alternate style that aligns with Sub-Zero's earlier appearances in the Mortal Kombat series. These axes have a sleeker design, resembling traditional axes rather than makeshift weapons crafted from ice, and each blade proudly displays the iconic Mortal Kombat logo.
