Dread Strikers — common questions
When was Dread Strikers last in the item shop?
Dread Strikers hasn't appeared in the item shop since we began tracking it on 5 August 2026. Epic's shop feed only exposes the current day, so we can't see whether it appeared before then.
How much does Dread Strikers cost?
We don't have a recorded price for Dread Strikers. We only know an item's price from days it has appeared in the shop while we were tracking it, and this pickaxe hasn't.
Can you still get Dread Strikers?
Most Fortnite cosmetics return to the item shop on rotation, but Epic doesn't publish a schedule and some items — battle pass rewards and promotional items in particular — never come back. There's no reliable way to tell in advance which category any given pickaxe falls into.
What set is Dread Strikers part of?
Dread Strikers is part of the Darkening set. Items in a set are usually released together and often return to the shop together, though Epic sometimes rotates them individually.
