Vanguard Flame — common questions
When was Vanguard Flame last in the item shop?
Vanguard Flame was last seen in the Fortnite item shop on 2 December 2025. We've recorded 11 appearances since we began tracking the shop on 5 August 2026.
How much does Vanguard Flame cost?
We don't have a recorded price for Vanguard Flame. 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 Vanguard Flame?
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 Vanguard Flame part of?
Vanguard Flame is part of the Ancient Eternal set. Items in a set are usually released together and often return to the shop together, though Epic sometimes rotates them individually.
