Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 Sets Up Batman-Themed Shiny Power Hours This Weekend
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 is hosting Shiny power hours on Saturday, July 18, featuring boosted Batman sprite rates, guaranteed rift anomalies, and starting gear like the Grapnel Gun.
Epic Games is shaking up the weekend rotation for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 with a double dose of Shiny power hours. Scheduled for this Saturday, July 18, these limited-time windows drastically increase the spawn rates for rare sprite variants. Players hunting for specific aesthetics can expect to see higher encounter rates for Batman sprites alongside Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, and Holofoil variations across the map. As reported by Polygon, these boosted windows give collectors a solid opportunity to round out their variant collections without grinding standard rates all season long.
Beyond the boosted sprite rates, the event alters the immediate match meta by outfitting every player with a Batman Grapnel Gun and a handy self-revive device right from the start. That immediate utility changes how early-game fights play out, giving everyone instant mobility and a safety net for chaotic drops. To sweeten the lobby experience even further, Epic is bringing back the Sprite Hunt rift anomaly alongside a guaranteed Battle Bus Victory Royale rift anomaly for participating matches.
The event is split into two distinct time blocks to accommodate different player schedules globally. The first window runs from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM EDT, while the second block gives night owls another chance from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM EDT. For players deep into the current battle pass grind who want to inject some extra action and rare loot hunts into their Saturday squad sessions, marking those hours on the calendar is definitely worth the time.
