SypherPK exposes new \u201cpay-to-win\u201d Bash Burner pickaxe in Fortnite SypherPK \/ Epic GamesIn his latest YouTube video, SypherPK exposed Fortnite\u2019s new \u201cpay to win\u201d Bash Burner pickaxe that swings at a faster rate, giving players a competitive edge. [jwplayer uZppK6qI] Ali \u2018SypherPK\u2019 Hassan is known for making videos about anything and everything within Fortnite. However, some of them involve in-depth discussions about items, weapons, and other elements of the game. His interest was piqued by one thing recently though: a new pay-to-win item. The Bash Burner pickaxe is a wooden baseball bat that is burnt two-thirds of the way. It also has two small branches sticking out, one of which has a flame. It might not look like the most ravishing pickaxe, but don\u2019t let its simple appearance fool you. The Bash Burner pickaxe is currently the most overpowered harvesting tool in the game. \u201cLadies and gentlemen, there is a new pickaxe called the Bash Burner Pickaxe,\u201d said SypherPK, while showing it off in-game. \u201cIt is faster than the other pickaxes. This has been tested and proved.\u201d He then showcases a collage of six other pickaxe animations for a side-by-side comparison. The Bash Burner Pickaxe clearly moves faster than the rest. Its advantage does appear to fade over time. However, SypherPK explains that if you use it in a certain way, it won\u2019t be an issue. \u201cIt does end up balancing out if you keep swinging,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever, if you\u2019re just doing it for short bursts of swings, it\u2019s actually the fastest pickaxe.\u201d The new Bash Burner pickaxe has some strange, inconsistent animations \u2013 both faster and slower than normal pickaxes, at times. Reportedly disabled in competitive modes.

Then, he dusts himself off like it was nothing, and casually hops back into discussing the pickaxe. He admits it\u2019s not the most broken item ever, but it\u2019s small advantages like these that add up. \u201cThis isn\u2019t even the most over-powered item that we\u2019ve seen as a pickaxe that\u2019s pay-to-win,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen more overpowered things in the past.\u201d SypherPK was referring to the infamous Star Wand, which used to deal 56 damage each swing and made players move faster when holding it. However, it only lasted a day or two before being removed from the game. Fortunately, the Bash Burner pickaxe isn\u2019t as broken as that. Still, SypherPK doesn\u2019t want to be responsible for encouraging people to buy it, because there\u2019s always a chance it could get nerfed or removed too. But until that happens, it does have a competitive edge when used in short bursts. It\u2019s probably not a bad idea to pick it up if you have the cash to spare. It does raise concerns about pay-to-win items being added to the game though, and it\u2019s not something many players would be willing to embrace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
