In Fortnite a new code for the Minty Pickaxe is available. However, players need to obtain the code first. Now players are going crazy and want to have it desperately.
What kind of pickaxe is this? The pickaxe is already known from the Christmas season. It is a candy cane with Christmas lights. Now the pickaxe has been given a “new” coat of paint and fits well into the Halloween season.
What code does one need to redeem? Players report about a code that can be redeemed in Fortnite to unlock the Minty Pickaxe.
These codes are said to have been received at the GameStop store in America. While the code could be redeemed, players did not receive the pickaxe in the game.
Is the code redeemable now?
Can you now unlock the pickaxe? Data miner HYPEX reported that the pickaxe is now in Fortnite’s data after the Update 11.10. He posted a picture on Twitter:
He also redeemed a code for the Minty Pickaxe and later showed a picture on Twitter where you can see that he received the pickaxe.
Players are crazy about these codes
Why are these codes so sought after? Since the codes are only handed out at selected retailers in the USA, UK, France and Germany when purchasing a Fortnite product, many players are desperate.
Players who do not live in these countries still want to obtain a code.
Several giveaways have already been started on Twitter where you can secure a code for the Minty Pickaxe. Data miner FNBRHQ started a giveaway where 5 codes are being raffled off.
There is also a high demand for these giveaways and players comment that they would love to receive the pickaxe.
High demand is being exploited: Since the demand and interest in this pickaxe is so high, it also attracts sellers who smell profit. They are selling the codes online at a high price.
The data miner Lucas7Yoshi posted a picture on Twitter showing the pickaxe being offered for 102.50 dollars:
He does not seem to be thrilled about it, and it is also understandable. It is simply way too expensive for a single pickaxe.
