Hey again. Wanted to share an update.

Team Battles will remain the first place you can secure the new Breathless Blades Pickaxe, but it will not be the only way you can get it. If you complete any of the in-game Quests arriving on Thursday, February 11, we’ll be granting the Breathless Blades Pickaxe to your Locker at the conclusion of Chapter 2 Season 5. These Quests are “Epic” Chapter 2 Season 5 Weekly Quests, so they’ll remain active for the rest of the Season.

Going forward, as we continue to try new things, we’ll put careful consideration into the accessibility of events and their rewards. While this week’s Team Battles will allow more players than previous events, we’ll keep in mind the accessibility of events and their rewards, with the goal of letting as many players as possible participate for a chance to earn rewards."

Thanks for all the feedback and for helping us improve.

Correct, wrap is not exclusive to Team Battles.

What about the banner?!?! (Also just wanted to say thank you for communicating with community :D)

The banner is the 5th place price prize in Team Battles, so if you're active in the game and sign up, you should be able to score that. We'll have more details on the Team Battles in a blog tomorrow.

So if I buy the wrap now then win it in the battles will I get a refund for it?

I checked. There is not a refund. Depending on your placement, you would still get whatever other prizes you qualify for.

This is ridiculous, the event was pushed up by 3 hours from when it was listed just a day or two ago. I just come by and see it's started, how in the bleep and I supposed to get in 10 games in 76 minutes?

This is so messed up.

Unfortunately, once you get past the "Are you sure? Once you join this team, you can't switch to another team.", it becomes locked in. There's still plenty of folks joining, so I wouldn't be too discouraged - it's just getting started

Good luck!

Tfw when even Epic calls them pickaxes and not harvesting tools

I think we always say Pickaxe in our blog posts.

Will you unlock the other items for completing the valentines challenges to?

Just the pickaxe, and that will happen at the conclusion of the season (or sometime shortly thereafter) when we can track everyone that's completed it.

i wish understand: if i not come at 1st place in the community battles but i complete the epic challenge come in game today. i anyway have the pickaxe?

We're going to make the Pickaxe available to players that complete a quest from this week -- though that won't be granted until after the end of the season.

In the meantime, if your team gets first in Team Battles, that will be your FIRST way to get it.

I’m not sure if this is the right place, but I had a quick question. I just won a game, but the points weren’t added? Does it take time to update the score?

We're adding a FAQ to the Team Battles page for this. You might need to turn on the "Show on Career Leaderboards" in the Account and Privacy settings so your progress can be tracked!

Wait so anyone who does the epic challenges this week is getting the pickaxes at the end of season? Bit of a wait but still cool

Yep, Quests this season.

How do you complete the challenges like 6 sided die or create a valentines day card? I don't understand. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those are challenges for the content creators on the team... separate of the challenges for participating players on the team.

You just need to do 1 of the Epic quests. You should do the Legendary to get that XP ;)

That's a challenge specific to the Content Creators on the team.

Team Battles ends this week.

The Pickaxe granting -- if you complete any of the in-game Weekly Quests that arrived on Thursday, February 11 -- will be granted after the end of the Chapter 2 Season 5 season.

Are the other two rewards: Reel Love spray and Perfect Match emoticon exclusive to this team battles or will they be given out to everyone who participated at a later date (or by other means)?

At this time, they’re currently only available via Team Battles.

To update everyone, we still plan on granting the Breathless Blades Pickaxe to anyone who completed any of the in-game Quests arriving on Thursday, February 11. We expect the granting process to begin this week. Thanks for your patience!

Update to this thread: All eligible players should now see the Breathless Blades pickaxe in their Locker if they'd completed the appropriate in-game Quest(s).

Thanks for your patience everyone!
