The Fortnite v22.40 update added a nifty-looking rapier Pickaxe called the Duelist’s Grace to the game. You can actually get it without having to spend any money, but the steps might be a bit confusing. Here’s how you can claim the Duelist’s Grace Pickaxe for free, whether you’re a PC, console, or mobile Fortnite player.

“Forged by a legendary swordsman, this elegant rapier is eternally sharp. Equip the Duelist’s Grace to strike fast, aim true, and stay in the fight.”
If you are on PC, it’s simple enough. All you need to do is:
- Launch your Epic Games Store launcher app.
- Login to your account.
- Launch Fortnite.
- Open the in-game Item Shop.
- Look for the Duelist’s Grace Pickaxe.
- Press the yellow Purchase button.
- And you should redeem the item for $0 or free of charge!
However, since the Duelist’s Grace Pickaxe is a free promotional item for Epic Games Store on PC and the NVIDIA GeForce Now streaming service, console and mobile players won’t be able to claim the item as easily as PC players. But fret not, because there is still a way to get it!

For PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch users, there are additional steps that you need to do in order to claim the Pickaxe skin for free:
- On a web browser, open the Epic Games Store website.
- Sign-In using your Fortnite/Epic Games account by clicking the button in the top right corner.
- Hover over your account name in the top right corner and click account.
- Click the Apps and Accounts tab on the left sidebar.
- Select either Xbox, PlayStation Network, or Nintendo Switch to connect to your Epic Games Account.
- Click Link Account.
- Enter your account credentials and click Sign-In.
You can also do it straight from your console when you launch Fortnite (although a PC or smartphone is still needed for the confirmation code):
- Launch Fortnite on your console.
- Click on Link an Account button.
- Enter the code on epicgames.com/id/activate using your smartphone or computer.
- Click on Continue.
- Sign in to your Epic Games account.
- A confirmation message will appear, and you’ll be able to play on your console.
Now you’ve successfully connected your console account to your Epic Games account, any progression you made in Fortnite should be saved between the two platforms. Keep in mind that you can only link one console account to one Epic Games account.
With the two accounts fully connected, now you just have to hop on to a PC (maybe borrow a friend’s) and then follow the PC steps while logged in with your account on the PC’s Epic Games Store launcher.

Meanwhile, mobile Android and iOS players would want to try these steps instead since Android and iOS options are not available through the Epic Games Store website:

- Or download the app from the Play Store if you’re on Android.
- Log into your NVIDIA account or create one.
- Then link your (new) NVIDIA account with your Epic Games account:
- Click on the Accounts Connected tile in the My Library row
- Or open Settings > Connections > Epic Games > Connect
- On the GeForce Now page, select Fortnite from the list of games.
- In Fortnite, open the in-game Item Shop.
- Look for the Duelist’s Grace Pickaxe.
- Press the yellow Purchase button.
- And you should redeem the item for $0 or free of charge!
