Swinging Axes are obstacles in Fall Guys. They were first introduced in Season 2 (Legacy).
Obstacle description[]
Swinging Axes are axes that rotate and obstruct players, similarly to Rotating Hammers. Proper timing is needed to overcome them. Coming into contact with an axe's face is usually not dangerous, but if hit by its cutting edge, a player will most likely be knocked over and fall.
In Fall Guys Creative, Swinging Axes cost 20 budget and only 50 can appear in one level.
Big Shots[]
As of Season 4.5 Dave, a Swinging Axe can appear in the middle of the see-saw on 
Big Shots.
