Pickle Rick was added to the game in the most recent Fortnite update as a free cosmetic item that players can get by completing Horde Rush tasks in the limited-time game mode. As with previous seasons, the reintroduction of Fortnitemares brought Horde Rush back into the rotation, where it will stay until November 15, when it will be removed for the year. Horde Rush, as opposed to battle royale or other PvP-focused game modes, concentrates on PvE elements from the Save the World client, with a moving circle and a huge monster spawning on the final wave.
Pickle Rick is the lone Rick and Morty freebie and one of the few cosmetics based on existing IP given out for free to Fortnite players who complete eight of the Horde Rush missions. Dealing melee damage to Cube spawners, destroying the monsters that the pillars generate, employing sideways weapons, obtaining headshots, and more are among the Fortnite Horde Rush tasks that players must fulfil. Because these tasks are often fulfilled by only playing a few rounds of Horde Rush, Fortnite gamers may not have to wait long to earn the new Rick and Morty back bling and show it off to their friends in other game types.
