What Makes the Leviathan Axe unique?
The Leviathan Axe is a Gaming Legends Series pickaxe released on December 4, 2020 during Chapter 2 Season 5. It came from Fortnite's collaboration with Sony's God of War franchise, arriving alongside the Kratos outfit as part of a broader crossover event. In the source material, the Leviathan Axe is Kratos's signature weapon in the 2018 God of War reboot and God of War Ragnarök, forged by the Huldra Brothers as a frost-imbued counterpart to Thor's hammer.
When available, the Leviathan Axe could be purchased individually for 1,000 V-Bucks or as part of the full Kratos Bundle for 2,200 V-Bucks. It's a reactive pickaxe, meaning it builds up visible frost effects as it strikes opponents or objects in-game. It was also the first Gaming Legends Series pickaxe to feature a built-in emote (Freezing Burst), which can only be triggered while the Leviathan Axe itself is equipped.
Since its original release window, the Leviathan Axe rotated through the Item Shop frequently until March 2021, then disappeared entirely and has not returned since. Epic hasn't officially vaulted it, so a future return isn't impossible, but the current reality is that it's been absent for over five years as of 2026, and most active players today have never seen it available. That combination of a high-profile collaboration origin, permanent Gaming Legends status, and multi-year absence from the shop is what puts the Leviathan Axe firmly in the top tier of desirable Fortnite pickaxes right now.
Why GG Chest is the Safest Way to Buy a Leviathan Axe?
Leviathan Axe accounts trade at a premium in the Fortnite cosmetic market because the pickaxe itself is one of the most recognizable in the game and hasn't been obtainable through normal gameplay in years. High-value listings like this are where scam risk and misrepresentation climb hardest on unprotected platforms, and GG Chest handles the specific concerns that come with a purchase at this level.
Every Leviathan Axe account purchase is covered by GGuarantee, our buyer protection system. Your payment sits in escrow after checkout, and the seller only receives it after you've confirmed the account has been delivered, the credentials work, and the Leviathan Axe (plus any other Oathbreaker set items listed) is genuinely present in the locker. If any of that fails, you can raise a dispute through order chat with 24/7 support before the payment is released.
That verification layer matters especially on account purchases where the listed value depends on a single flagship item. Locker screenshots plus escrow are what stops "Leviathan Axe account" listings from becoming a source of surprises when you actually log in.
