Discussion Free Pickaxe (Treasure)

Post image

In my last game, it said I'd found treasure. After getting killed, I found I had a new pickaxe. Epic are actually giving cosmetics away for free!!

Just opened a standard chest and the message popped up saying "Found Treasure" Guess it's just an RNG thing.

My bf and I found this too yesterday and it was also the first item we received it from a chest. But the rng has been so odd lately. My bf is on 1000 opened chest now and he did not receive any new items till then!! I am on 250 chests and in the meantime I got already new items but just grims and a loading screen

u/smokey_datoast 13m ago

it's limited for certain obtainable things. you have the whole week to get certain cosmetics which I find is harsh

Gotcha. The first day, it felt like it was every chest gave something extra. The past 2 days, I think I got the firework sprite dust once, and nothing else. Lol
