Thorn — common questions
When was Thorn last in the item shop?
Thorn 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 Thorn cost?
We don't have a recorded price for Thorn. 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 Thorn?
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 Thorn part of?
Thorn is part of the Lil' Red set. Items in a set are usually released together and often return to the shop together, though Epic sometimes rotates them individually.
How many styles does Thorn have?
Thorn has 2 selectable styles. Some styles unlock through challenges rather than being available immediately.
