How do I get the Merry Mint Pickaxe?
Just like most other Fortnite cosmetics, you can pick them up in the store. The thing about the Merry Mint pickaxe, however, is that it's not in the store you think about. The item is not available in the Fortnite Item Store. To get a code for the pickaxe, you will need to go to a participating retailer and purchase any officially licensed Fortnite product. According to Epic Games, you can only get the pickaxe at 4-star Gamestop, Target, and Amazon stores in the United States.
If you buy something Fortnite related from one of these stores, you will receive a special card with a code that you can redeem for your own Merry Mint pickaxe. These cards are in high demand and while Epic can do their best to keep them stocked, it's probably best to call your local dealer and check if they have any cards before making a purchase.
What do I need to buy to get a code?
To get a code for the pickaxe, you will need to purchase any Fortnite merchandise. Some of these items, like the Funko Pop figures, aren't too expensive, but Epic has started rolling out a new product in stores that most people will likely buy instead. Physical V-Buck cards are now available in stores across the country, and they are eligible for the Merry Mint Pickaxe promotion.
Buying V-Bucks to get a pickaxe code will likely provide the best value, unless you're already in the market for other Fortnite merchandise. The cheapest card is $ 10, so you can grab a battle pass or skin and get the rare pickaxe as a bonus. V-Buck cards are out of stock everywhere, as are Merry Mint Pickaxe codes, so be sure to check with the store to make sure there is some in stock before you go.
