The Breathless Blades are a special pickaxe available in Fortnite. This guide will show players how they could obtain it during season 6. Fortnite cosmetics are a major reason why players pick up the battle pass every season. Outside of introducing new challenges and areas on the map, these cosmetics can be upgraded and occasionally originate from popular properties like Marvel or DC. In the case of the Breathless Blades, players will be able to produce hearts every time the weapon strikes an object. The design is pretty neat too, making it one of the most sought-after cosmetic items in the game. This guide will show players how they could have obtained it in Season 6.

The thing about Fortnite cosmetics is that once they are made unavailable, it is extremely unlikely that the item will make a return in the future. It is part of the "you have to be there" experience. The blades were originally introduced as part of the Valentine's Day event in 2021. Players would have needed to complete a set of challenges before the timer ended to obtain this item. Now that the Valentine's Day event is over, players are reporting that they have received the blades during season 6. This guide will show players how this is possible.

How To Get The Breathless Blades in Fortnite Season 6

What Fortnite Season 6 Map Changes Are Most Important

The only way to have received the Breathless Blades in Fortnite season 6 would have been to complete the Hearts Wild quest. If the player did complete this challenge when it first appeared back on Valentine's Day, they were able to start seeing the item appear in their locker beginning on March 18th. Considering March 18th is during season 6, it made it seem like a surprise for some when it appeared. Although, those who did not complete the Hearts Wild quest or never received the quest, are unable to collect the item. While the Breathless Blades are a nice item, it will likely not return to the game due to historically, skins rarely ever come back. The best thing to do now is to hope for the best.

Fortnite continues to introduced tons of different items and content for its players. Considering season 6 has just begun, now is the perfect time to jump back into the game and pace yourself with all of its new content. Even if you just jump on to complete your weekly challenges, now would be a great time to play the biggest battle royale title out there.
