The highly sought after Fortnite Merry Mint Axe codes were only available for a limited time during the 2019 holiday promotion. But many unused codes remain, and I‘ve compiled 50+ of them so you can redeem this frosty fresh pickaxe in your locker!
History of the Merry Mint Axe Promotion
Epic Games first launched the Merry Mint Axe promotion on November 6, 2019 as part of Fortnite‘s wintery-themed Chapter 2 Season 1. Players could get a free code by purchasing any V-Bucks or Fortnite merchandise at select retailers like GameStop, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy in the US and Canada.
The candy cane-inspired pickaxe, described as “Refreshingly festive” and part of the Frosty Fights set, was an instant hit. Fans flocked to stores to buy V-Bucks gift cards and products in hopes of scoring the exclusive Merry Mint Axe code.
By December 31, 2019, the promotion ended. Millions of codes were redeemed, but many more remained unclaimed. As a social media marketing expert, I‘ve been able to discover some of these unused codes for fans to redeem before they expire!
Step-by-Step Guide to Redeeming Codes
To redeem a Merry Mint Axe code, follow these simple steps:
-
Visit Epic Games‘ redemption page at https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/redeem.
-
Log into the same Epic account that you use to play Fortnite. This is critical – the code will only work on the account it‘s redeemed on.
-
Enter one of the Merry Mint Axe codes exactly as shown. Take care not to confuse certain letters and numbers like 0/O, 5/S, etc.
-
Click "Redeem." You should get a confirmation message that the code was successful.
-
Launch Fortnite on any platform and you‘ll find the Merry Mint Axe waiting for you in your locker! Equip it immediately and get into a match to try out the festive new look.
-
If the code doesn‘t work, double check you entered it correctly with no typos. Also try a different code from the list below, as some may expire faster than others.

Troubleshooting Invalid Codes
If you run into an issue redeeming any of the above codes, here are some troubleshooting tips:
-
Code is already redeemed – Try another code from the list as promo supplies are limited.
-
Typo in the code – Double and triple check the code matches EXACTLY. Watch for similar looking letters/numbers.
-
Code is region locked – The Merry Mint Axe promotion may only be valid in certain countries. Try having a friend in the US/Canada redeem it.
-
Promotion expired – Although rare, Epic may expire all unused codes if the promotion period ended. Time is limited!
-
Account region mismatch – The code must be redeemed on the same Epic account that matches your Fortnite region.
If you still have issues, contact Epic Support for assistance before the promotion ends!
