For Johnny Blaze, the road to becoming Ghost Rider wasn’t easy. A family curse, demonic manifestations, and other evil events paved the way to creating this fiery antihero.

It’s time to put the weapons down and take up your pickaxe.

Compete in Lachlan’s Pickaxe Frenzy starting Sunday, November 8, for an opportunity to earn Lachlan’s Cosmetic Set before it hits the Item Shop. Winners will have the chance to display the Lachlan Outfit and Back Bling, Pickaxe, and Emote in-game before anyone else.

In this tournament you and your two friends will need to find different ways to be resourceful to earn the Victory Royale. With only a pickaxe as your primary weapon, search for Rusty Cans, Impulse Grenades, Decoy Grenades and Supply Drops to protect your team and eliminate your opponents. 

With no shields or healing items available, you’ll have to eliminate an opponent or Emote to regenerate health. One last thing: the building material cap is set to 10 per material, so make those builds count!
