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