Fortnite Sprite Spree Week: Full Schedule, Power Hours, and Lucky Locators

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 winds down on August 20, when Season 4 Override goes live at 4 AM ET. Before that happens, Epic Games is running Sprite Spree Week from August 15 through August 20, a stretch of daily Power Hours built to help you finish your Sprite collection before the season resets.

The timing matters. Season 3’s roster of 117 Sprites, at last official count on August 8, will not return as active loot in Battle Royale next season. Epic confirmed the collection instead moves into a new Sprite Garden feature, converted into cosmetic unlocks rather than in-match pickups. Sprite Spree Week is your last full week to extract, upgrade, and complete every variant while they’re still live in matches.

Below is the full day-by-day schedule, every Power Hour window in ET and PT, and how to stack the week’s XP and Lucky Locator bonuses.

What is Sprite Spree Week in Fortnite?

Sprite Spree Week rotates a themed Power Hour each day, boosting drop rates for one Sprite variant type at a time. It replaces the standalone weekend Power Hours that ran through July and August, compressing the rotation into one final push before Season 4 arrives. Epic paired the event with the Unstable live event on August 15 at 2 PM ET, the closing story beat of Season 3’s Runners arc.

If you’re missing entire variant sets, the full list of every Sprite in the game is worth checking before you plan your week.

Full Sprite Spree Week Schedule

Zero Point and Grim Sprites get boosted twice on August 15, once in the afternoon session and again at night. Every other day runs a single 24-hour window, so the push toward all eight Cube variants covers the full day on August 18. Gem Hours cuts short at 4 AM ET on August 20, roughly 19 hours instead of the usual 24, since Season 4 launches at that exact moment.

Sprite Spree Week Bonuses

• Sprite XP: 2x Sprite XP applies to container openings, eliminations, and extractions. Healing at a Campfire adds another 2x Campfire XP, stacking to 4x Sprite XP total.
• Resummons: Sprite Dust cost for resummoning a lost Sprite drops to zero for the entire week.
• Drop rates: The day’s featured variant spawns more often in chests and vaults.
• Lucky Locators: A daily quest hands out one free Lucky Locator that guarantees a Sprite you don’t already own.

August 17 lands on a Monday, so the weekly Mastery Monday bonus (2x Sprite Dust, extra Portable Extractors) runs alongside Holofoil Hours. That overlap makes it the single best day for dust-heavy resummons.

How to Use Your Daily Lucky Locator

Save each Locator for whatever tier you’re missing most, since it guarantees a Sprite you don’t have, not a specific one.

Extracting first and checking your collection gaps before you burn the Locator gets more value out of a limited resource that only refreshes once every 24 hours.

What Happens to Your Sprites After Season 4

Sprites don’t disappear when Season 4 Override launches, but they stop functioning as in-match loot. Epic confirmed Season 3 Sprites move into a new Sprite Garden, described as an island getaway where players visit their collection and friends’ gardens.

Your Season 3 roster converts into unlocked styles for the Sprite Mastery Pod Back Bling and pilots for the Guardian Outfit, including fan favorites like the Pollo Sprite and John Wick Sprite. Sprite Dust and Gizmos reset when the season ends, so spend down your stockpile before August 20.

Final Thoughts

Sprite Spree Week signals that Season 3’s Sprite system is winding down in its current form. The daily rotation gives you one concentrated shot at variants that otherwise trickle out over weeks. Season 4 brings a new generation of Sprites and the Sprite Garden, but the 117-strong Season 3 roster only stays farmable through August 20.
