Chapter 2, Season 7 of Fortnite _ is nearly here, and the latest hint about the alien-themed season includes a mysterious phone number and audio clip. It has been known for some time now that _Fortnite 's upcoming season, which is due to release on June 8, will revolve around some extraterrestrial threat thanks to a number of leaks and official tea  
Today, the Original Pickaxe hit the item shop along with the previously leaked OG skin sets. However, the OG Pickaxe is not gifted to players upon logging in like previous free items. Instead, it is listed under the Limited Time Offers section of the item shop, which usually houses bundles that can only be purchased with real money. When players redeem the OG Pickaxe, they are required to purchase the item from their console's store or the Epic Games Store on PC. When tested on the PS4, the player was required to enter their credit card information regardless of the item having a total cost of  
With over half of Fortnite's player base being between the ages of 10 and 12, it's unlikely that they will have their own credit card and will have to use their parents if they intend to redeem the OG Pickaxe. It's hard not to think back to the popular 2018 meme that fictionalized children stealing their parents' credit cards to buy V-Bucks . Most platforms have the option to save credit card information for future use, and this one-time free redemption of the OG Pickaxe could lead to accidental or intentional purchases in the future. While Epic Games may not have a peek at this web-site malicious intent when requiring the Pickaxe to be redeemed through the system's store, it does raise the question as to why the developer wouldn't distribute the item the same way it has in the p  
Superman is one of the crossover characters joining the fight against the alien invaders in **Fortnite ** Season 7, but players will need to wait a few weeks before his cosmetics set becomes available. Fortnite has already introduced many characters from the DC universe to the popular Battle Royale, including Batman, the Joker, Harley Quinn, and the Flash. Owners of the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 Battle Pass will have access to the Man of Steel's outfits and cosmetics, but only after several weeks of play. Unlike some of the other Battle Pass rewards, Superman is date-locked and not yet available to unl  
It is possible to purchase the first 25 Tiers of the Battle Pass using V-Bucks, which will unlock several pages of Battle Pass rewards and award several Battle Stars instantly. However, since unlocking each of the required 105 rewards also requires Battle Stars, it’s likely that players will be well above Level 100 before they can unlock the Toxic Rick outfit and take it into bat  
On November 2, Epic announced that Fortnite would be arriving on next-gen consoles with some serious graphical upgrades. In the spirit of remembering Fortnite's past achievements, Epic announced that players would have the opportunity to redeem the free Original Pickaxe which is also known as the Default Pickaxe from the first season of Fortnite . While the release date for said pickaxe was not announced, players were made aware that they would only have until January 15, 2021 to redeem the OG Pick  
Like many of the Battle Pass skins in Fortnite Season 7, Rick has a couple of styles to choose from. In addition to his basic costume, players can unlock Toxic Rick, which is inspired by his goopy double from the Rick and Morty Episode "Rest and Relaxation." This style, like the basic Rick Sanchez Fortnite Season 7 Battle Pass skin , is not available right away, and players will need to do some grinding to unlock this rather exclusive outfit and wear it into com  
There always seems to be a catch when something is given away for free, and Fortnite _ 's free Original Pickaxe is no exception, seeing as players will need to provide their credit card information to get one for some reason. _Fortnite has given players plenty of free items in the past without requiring any personal information, so it seems a bit weird that Epic Games would as for credit card info this time aro  
But let's not forget that Superman endures as one of the most powerful and resilient characters in pop culture history, the classic superhero archetype who combines a strong moral compass with powers beyond the scope of mere mortals. So it'll be interesting to see how the Man of Steel figures into the world of _Fortnite , _ if and when he flies in from Metropo  
While prices for each have not yet been revealed, it is likely the Superman items cost around the same amount as other Fortnite Season 7 Battle Pass rewards. This means banners, sprays, and loading screens may cost around 3 or 4 Battle Stars, the Back Bling, emotes, and gliders around 5 to 7 Battle Stars, and the skins around 8 to 10 Battle St  
Season 7 of **Fortnite ** is here, and with it comes all the new skins and accessories players expect with each Battle Pass. This season sees an unexpected crossover with everyone’s favorite drunken mad scientist and Doc Brown surrogate Rick Sanchez from the popular cartoon series Rick and Mor
