Reaper, Harley Hitter and other fantastic Fortnite pickaxes, ranked

5) Candy Axe - 87.06% rating

Candy Axe was first released during Christmas 2017. The Harvesting Tool had a holiday theme. It featured a candy cane wrapped in Christmas lights.

Considering that it is a seasonal item, Candy Axe doesn't frequently appear in the Item Shop, making it even more sought after among players.

4) Reaper - 87.07% rating

Reaper is one of the first Fortnite pickaxes to arrive in the Item Shop. The scythe has been a fan-favorite cosmetic item for many years.

The harvesting tool mostly comes to the Item Shop during the Fortnitemares event, so you can expect it to be released once again on Halloween.

3) Merry Mint Axe - 87.09% rating

The Merry Mint Axe is a re-skin of the Candy Axe with a different color. The Harvesting Tool has Deadfire's flame on top of it.

Unfortunately, this Fortnite Pickaxe is very rare as it cannot be purchased from the Item Shop.

To obtain the Merry Mint Axe, players have to buy a Fortnite product from GameStop or another licensed gaming store. Due to this condition, the pickaxe is very exclusive, which has positively impacted its popularity.

2) Harley Hitter - 87.60% rating

Harley Quinn's Fortnite pickaxe has been very popular since its release in Chapter 2 Season 1.

The baseball bat has been in the Item Shop more than 60 times since its release, but players still can't get enough of it.

1) Leviathan Axe - 89.17% rating

Epic Games collaborated with God of War to bring Kratos and his items to Fortnite. This collaboration ended up being extremely successful.
