Axes are a subclass of Melee Weapons in Fortnite: Save the World. The purpose of these weapons is close range combat. With a balance between moderate swing speed and knockback, Axes provide sustained damage focusing on strong individual blows. Some axes are heavy, slower and deal more damage. All Axes also have a Heavy Attack like Up and Over or Double Chop.
