The free pickaxe will be released with the Duelist's Grace bundle, according to iFireMonkey. The popular Fortnite Battle Royale leaker has revealed a few more details regarding the free cosmetic item, including its release date and design.

According to the leaker, the free bundle will be released on Tuesday, November 22, at 11:00 am Eastern Time. Considering that it will come out on Tuesday, there is a good chance that Epic Games will release the v22.40 Content Update on this day.

As you can see in the tweet above, the new pickaxe looks amazing and there is no doubt that a lot of players will want to obtain it. However, it's important to note that the cosmetic item will only be available for a week. Based on the leak, the pickaxe will be removed on November 29, a few days before the live event.

Furthermore, the Fortnite leaker revealed that the free pickaxe will come in a bundle. Due to this, there is a chance that Epic Games will release even more free Fortnite cosmetics by the end of the season.

The leaker hasn't revealed any other information regarding the bundle. However, there is a lot of content that Epic Games has added with the new update, so it will take a while for the leakers to find everything.

To obtain the new bundle, you will have to visit the Epic Games Store. You will simply have to "purchase" it for zero dollars and it will appear in your account shortly after. The pickaxe will be released as a Black Friday freebie.
