Fortnite Crew members,

On November 15 at 7 PM EST, we’re launching the Photonic Legacy Set! A new entry in the “Legacy Sets,” the Photonic Legacy Set is an exclusive reward for Fortnite Crew subscribers that’s an evolving symbol of your membership.

For every month you’re an active Fortnite Crew subscriber, you’ll unlock a new Stage of the Photonic Legacy Set until you get to Stage 6. Stage 1 of the Set – unlockable immediately starting November 15 – is available to unlock until May 31, 2023, at 8 PM EDT. The next Stages unlock at the same time you receive your monthly Crew Pack while subscribed (the last day of each month at 8 PM EDT / 7 PM EST).

Photonic Legacy Set FAQ


How long is Stage 1 of the Photonic Legacy Set available to unlock?

Stage 1 of the Photonic Legacy Set is available to unlock until May 31, 2023, at 8 PM EDT.


What happens if I pause my Fortnite Crew membership?

Not a problem! You will retain all unlocked Stages, and when you decide to purchase a new Crew Pack, you will continue your progression where you left off.


How long do I have to unlock the rest of the Stages?

Once Stage 1 is unlocked, there is no time limit for players to unlock the rest of the Stages.


Does receiving a new Style of the Photonic Striker Pickaxe mean losing the previous Style?

Nope! When you receive a new Style of the Photonic Striker Pickaxe, you’ll still have all the previous Styles available. 


Are the color options from Stage 6 for all Styles of the Photonic Striker Pickaxe?

Yep! Want to switch to the Cyberlight Style of the Pickaxe and turn it Radiant Blue? You can do that. Want to switch to the Tuned Style and turn it Magnetic Green? You can do that too!


I’m still progressing through the Zen Legacy Set Stages. Is there anything I should know?

Previously, Stage upgrades for the Zen Legacy Set were available to unlock for 12 months after unlocking Stage 1. Now, for players who have already acquired Stage 1, there is no time limit for unlocking the remaining Stages. 
 
Also, Zen Legacy Set Stages now unlock at the same time you receive your monthly Crew Pack (the last day of each month at 8 PM EDT / 7 PM EST) instead of the 14th of each month.
