Fortnite Season 5 Chapter 2 is here! We got some really cool skins so far, like Kratos, Black Panther and even a fake Michael Jackson skin. But one skin stands above them all: The Mandalorian. Finally, an important tool for him could be added – the Mando Pickaxe!

The Force was with us when the Mandalorian landed in Fortnite for the start of Season 5 Chapter 2 - bringing with him the awesome Baby Yoda as a Back Bling. You could even upgrade his skin to the Beskar armor version through quests. But there was one thing he was still missing: a pickaxe.

A video from @TwitchTilted on Twitter and Reddit shows the gameplay with the pickaxe. It looks like the Amban Sniper Rifle, which is already the Mandalorian's exotic weapon in Fortnite, makingit look quite strange when you destroy buildings with it! However, it could be that the design of the pickaxe in the leak is just a placeholder and a more suitable pickaxe will actually be released. Fans from Reddit already have an idea in mind and hope for the Beskar spear from the Disney+ TV Show.

It is not yet known when the pickaxe for the Mandalorian in Fortnite will be released. What we do know is that the latest patch from Epic Games is coming today and we can't wait to hit the map again in the Battle Royale shooter. Whether as The Mandalorian or with a different skin... doesn't matter as long as the force is with us!
