How to Get the New Hulk Smasher Pickaxe in Fortnite
Epic is adding a unique Hulk Smasher pickaxe with the Hulkbuster style to players who complete these challenges in the Marvel's Avengers video game.
Epic Games have been the crossover kings since Fortnite came out two years ago. We've seen several Marvel and DC characters come into the game along with others from popular franchises, movies, and even real life.
The last two seasons of Fortnite have focused on adding superheroes to the game. Deadpool and Aquaman were two "secret" skins, and Epic released an official Captain America outfit in honor of the Fourth of July celebrations in the United States.
Epic is back at it again with another Marvel crossover - this time promoting the new Marvel's Avengers video game, which will be officially released in September. Those who play the many closed and open betas will be able to complete HARM challenges to unlock the new Hulkbuster-style Hulk Smasher Pickaxe.

There will be several different stages of beta testing, and all of them will be exclusive to PS4 and Xbox One. PC players will need to log into the console if they want to receive the free reward. According to the Epic Games website, the beta schedule is as follows:
- ♦August 7-9: PlayStation 4 pre-order beta
- •Marvel Avengers PlayStation 4 pre-order only
- ♦August 14-16: PlayStation 4 Open Beta
- ♦August 14-16: Xbox One pre-order beta
- •Marvel Avengers Xbox One pre-order only
- ♦August 21-23: Open Beta on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
Marvel's Avengers costs $60 for the full game, although the open beta is supposed to be free for console players. Ironically, the game is available on Steam, but not on the Epic Games Store.
We don't know what these HARM problems entail or if they have anything to do with Fortnite. We'll update this post when the beta begins and learn more about challenges and rewards.
At this point, you must ensure that your Epic Games account is connected to your PlayStation or Microsoft account. Then you need to visit Square Enix website , create an account, and link it to Epic Games.
PC players and those who don't want to participate in the Avengers beta test will still have access to this unique pickaxe through the in-game store, though you may have to wait until the beta ends. Let's chop!
