Tactical Spade — common questions
When was Tactical Spade last in the item shop?
Tactical Spade was last seen in the Fortnite item shop on 11 September 2025. We've recorded 22 appearances since we began tracking the shop on 5 August 2026.
How much does Tactical Spade cost?
We don't have a recorded price for Tactical Spade. 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 Tactical Spade?
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 Tactical Spade part of?
Tactical Spade is part of the Black Vector set. Items in a set are usually released together and often return to the shop together, though Epic sometimes rotates them individually.
