What is the lore behind Storm King Fist in Fortnite?

Storm King Fist is one of the more lore-heavy Pickaxes in the game. While there is some lore attached to Storm King Fist, it is a bit complicated as the item’s lore blurs the line between Battle Royale and Save The World. The Pickaxe, as its name suggests, is supposed to be the Storm King’s Fist. The Storm King is a malevolent entity in Fortnite Save The World.

However, the Storm King has also crossed into the Battle Royale mode on multiple occasions. This ties the Storm King Fist Pickaxe to one of the most important characters in the Fortnite universe. The item’s in-game description reads: “Beware the thunder strike.”, referencing the Storm King’s lightning and further tying the Pickaxe to the lore.

What are the cosmetics related to Storm King Fist in Fortnite?

Unlike most other Pickaxes in the game, Storm King Fist is not a part of any Set in Fortnite. The Pickaxe was released in celebration of the Storm King LTM during Fortnitemares 2019, and the item has been a standalone cosmetic ever since. This might change in the future if Epic Games decides to bring the Storm King to the game as an Outfit and sell Storm King Fist as part of a bundle.
