Since its debut all the way back in Season 7, the Cold Swap has grown to be an absolute fan favorite among the massive array of pickaxes inFortnite, the latter given its unique aesthetic and charm.
But true to that, it’s no surprise that a question continues to arise among the community. After all, when will the Cold Snap return? Here’s when will the Cold Snap return to theFortniteshop, as well as how much the item will most likely cost.

When is Cold Snap returning to Fortnite?
Unfortunately for all who, like me, missed the chance to add the pickaxe to their collection when it was last featured in the game’s shop, there’s currently no way to know when the Cold Snap will be returning toFortnite. On that note, and given both the item’s first release date and how well it fits the Holiday theme, I would not be surprised if the pickaxe were to make a return to the shop during the days surrounding this year’s Christmas.
For those curious, the pickaxe’s last appearance in the store dates back to Jun 06, 2025, when it was featured as part of the Clix’s Locker bundle.

How Much Does the Cold Snap Cost?
According to the Fortnite.GG database, the Cold Snap has been featured in the game’s shop a total of 63 times since its release on July 23, 2025, In all times,the pickaxe could be purchased either alone for 800 V-bucksor as part of bundles ranging from 2.300 to 2.500 V-Bucks.
