COSM-GAME Fortnite Shinier Hours Boosts Batman and Rare Sprites
Epic Games is running two Fortnite Shinier Hours sessions on July 25, 2026. The limited event boosts four Sprites, rare variants, and Chest discovery rates.
Game summary
News summary
Every player enters with an enlarged head and a Self-Revive Device during both limited Battle Royale windows.
Batman, Pollo, Seven and Air Sprites appear far more often, giving collectors another chance to extract any of the four they are missing.
Gold, Gummy, Galaxy and Holofoil variants receive a stronger appearance boost than during the previous weekend's event.
Regular Chests are twice as likely to contain a Sprite for the duration of each session.
Event overview
Epic Games built the July 25 event around a higher-risk headshot modifier: every participant has an enlarged head, but each player also starts with a Self-Revive Device. The same rules apply in both two-hour sessions.
The collection boost targets Batman, Pollo, Seven and Air Sprites. Their base forms become more common, while Gold, Gummy, Galaxy and Holofoil variants receive an additional rate increase during the event windows.
Chest searches also become more productive because regular Chests have double the normal chance to contain a Sprite. Players still need to reach an Extraction Site or use the available extraction system to add discoveries to their collection.
Key details
Epic Games' event notice sets two separate two-hour sessions and applies the same Sprite, variant and starting-loadout modifiers to both windows.
