How to Get the Free Neon Nightblade Pickaxe in Fortnite
Just like its previous appearance, the Neon Nightblade Pickaxe is once again available as a free Twitch Drop reward, though this time, with a twist. To unlock the Pickaxe, players must tune into the FNCS Major 3 Group 2 livestream either on Fortnite or Brasil_Fortnite on Twitch, or by watching other eligible streams that have Twitch Drops enabled.
The FNCS Major 3 Group 2 runs from 10:45 AM ET to 8:30 PM ET on July 26, and the offer to claim the Neon Nightblade Pickaxe ends on Monday, June 28.
To qualify, players must watch an eligible stream for 1 hour. After meeting the requirement, they can claim the Pickaxe through their Twitch Drops Inventory. Once claimed, the Pickaxe will be added to their Fortnite account, though in some cases, it may take up to 14 days to appear in-game.
Of course, players will also need to ensure that their Epic Games and Twitch accounts are linked before they can claim the Neon Nightblade Pickaxe. To do this, follow these steps:
- Go to the Accounts page on the Fortnite website.
- Navigate to the Linked Accounts tab.
- Under the Twitch section, click Link.
- Sign in to your Twitch account to connect it with your Epic Games account.
Once linked, players will be ready to claim the Neon Nightblade Pickaxe, as long as they meet the viewing requirement and haven’t already claimed it.
The Neon Nightblade Pickaxe was introduced as compensation for an issue that occurred during the initial release of the FNCS Major 3 Twitch Drops. During this period, players will also have a second chance to obtain both the FNCS Coin Emoticon and the Neon Nightblade Pickaxe.
