Ink of the Dead — common questions
When was Ink of the Dead last in the item shop?
Ink of the Dead 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 Ink of the Dead cost?
We don't have a recorded price for Ink of the Dead. 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 Ink of the Dead?
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 Ink of the Dead part of?
Ink of the Dead is part of the Painted Dusk set. Items in a set are usually released together and often return to the shop together, though Epic sometimes rotates them individually.
