As an apology for outages over the Christmas break, Epic Games are giving away Madcap’s Crescent Shroom Pickaxe for free in Fortnite.

All players need to do to claim Madcap’s Crescent Shroom Pickaxe is to have logged in to the game before Winterfest concludes on January 6th, 2022, meaning you still have time to give the seasonal event a go if you haven’t yet.

It’s not yet clear when exactly the Crescent Shroom Pickaxe will be made available for free to players, but it will be after January 6th at the earliest, most likely on Friday ahead of the also planned Power Levelling Weekend that Epic are releasing to make up for the lost hours.

This news also confirms that Madcap will finally be released after all this time, having been one of the most delayed and mysteriously absent skins in Fortnite in years. It was first discovered in the files during Fortnite: Chapter 2 – Season 2 almost two years ago, but is only now releasing.

In case you didn’t hear, Fortnite was down for almost five hours on December 29th, reportedly due to high traffic with Chapter 3 so far being a gigantic success. Epic promised to pay fans back for time they might have missed on levelling up their Battle Pass, and now here we are.

Fortnite is free-to-play on PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
