Sprite Spree Week is the final send-off for Sprite collecting before Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 wraps up. It runs for the last several days of the season and layers a rotating Power Hour, free summons, and bonus rewards on top of normal play, giving anyone chasing a complete Sprite Collection a clear window to finish.
Quick answer: Sprite Spree Week starts Sunday, August 16 at 9 AM ET and ends Thursday, August 20 at 4 AM ET. Each day runs a different Power Hour that boosts the drop rate of one Sprite variant, and you can claim one extra Lucky Locator per day by finishing a Sprite Spree Daily Quest.
Sprite Spree Week Power Hour schedule
Each Power Hour is not a single hour. It stays active for the entire day, from 9 AM ET until 9 AM ET the following day, and it raises the drop rate of one specific Sprite variant during that window. The boosted variant changes each day, so the day you play decides which Sprites are easier to find.
| Day | Power Hour | Boosted variant |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday, August 16 | Galaxy Hours | Galaxy Sprites |
| Monday, August 17 | Holo Hours | Holo Sprites |
| Tuesday, August 18 | Cube Hours | Cube Sprites |
| Wednesday, August 19 | Gem Hours | Gem Sprites |
The full stretch closes out at 4 AM ET on Thursday, August 20, which is the exact moment Chapter 7 Season 3 ends. Chapter 7 Season 4 then begins later that day, so the Wednesday Gem Hours window is the last chance to lean on boosted Sprite rates before the season flips.
What is active every day during Sprite Spree Week
Beyond the rotating variant boost, a set of bonuses stays on for the whole event. These stack with the daily Power Hour, so any session across the week benefits from them.
- Increased Special Sprite drop rate, tied to that day’s Power Hour variant.
- 4x Sprite XP total, from two stacked 2x Sprite XP boosts.
- Sprite Dust disabled, which means Sprites can be summoned for free.
- An extra Lucky Locator each day through a Sprite Spree Daily Quest.
The free summons matter here. With Sprite Dust turned off, you can bring back or deploy Sprites without spending the usual currency, which pairs well with the 4x XP for leveling up variants quickly across the week.
How to claim the extra Lucky Locator each day
A Lucky Locator guarantees a Sprite you do not already own, which makes it the most reliable way to fill collection gaps. During Sprite Spree Week, one extra Locator is available per day, gated behind a Daily Quest rather than random luck.
Because the quest refreshes daily, playing at least once on all four active days nets four extra Locators over the event, on top of any you earn normally. That is a meaningful head start toward finishing the collection before the season ends.
The most efficient plan is to match your play sessions to the variants you still need. Show up on the day whose Power Hour lines up with a missing variant, complete the Daily Quest for the guaranteed Locator, and use the free summons and 4x XP to level up whatever you catch. With everything ending at 4 AM ET on August 20, the Wednesday Gem Hours is your last chance to close out any remaining gaps.
