The Pickaxe is a melee weapon and harvesting tool in Fortnite Battle Royale.
Overview
All players are equipped with a pickaxe.
You use your pickaxe for two things:
- Attacking other players.
- Harvesting Resources.
- The pickaxe deals 11 damage to players and does not headshot, meaning you need to hit a player 10 times to kill them if they are at full health.
- The pickaxe deals 50 damage to any pre-made structures (such as a tree), and 100 damage if they hit the sweet spot. It does 25 damage to player-built structures(such as wood stairs) and 50 if they hit the sweet spot.
Strategy Guide/Tips
- The pickaxe is useful primarily for mining Resources, but is not so great as a weapon. Use it as a weapon only if you have no other weapon equipped.
