Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 is set to feature "Shiny power hours" this Saturday, July 18, an event that will boost the appearance rates of several sprite variants, including Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, and Holofoil. Players can also expect to begin matches with a Batman Grapnel Gun and a self-revive device during these periods. The Sprite Hunt rift anomaly is slated to return, alongside a guaranteed Battle Bus Victory Royale rift anomaly.
There will be two distinct windows for the Shiny power hours. The first session will run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. EDT on Saturday, July 18.
