The Lament — common questions
When was The Lament last in the item shop?
The Lament was last seen in the Fortnite item shop on 21 August 2025. We've recorded 40 appearances since we began tracking the shop on 5 August 2026.
How much does The Lament cost?
We don't have a recorded price for The Lament. 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 The Lament?
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 The Lament part of?
The Lament is part of the Legends of Light and Dark set. Items in a set are usually released together and often return to the shop together, though Epic sometimes rotates them individually.
