Fortnite is running a limited event called the Spider-Man Web Shooters Hours, and the headline change is simple. For the duration of the sessions, the Mythic Web Shooters have no usage limit, so you can swing across the Chapter 7 Season 3 map without worrying about running dry.
Quick answer: The Web Shooters Hours take place on August 1, 2026. Log in during one of the event windows and the Web Shooters you pick up will have unlimited uses. Cube Sprites also spawn more often, and extra Spider-Man chests appear across the island.
What changes during the Web Shooters Hours
The event applies a set of match modifiers on top of the standard mode. The biggest one removes the charge limit on the Web Shooters, but there are two other tweaks worth knowing before you drop in.
| Modifier | Effect |
|---|---|
| Unlimited Web Shooters | The Mythic mobility item can be used without a charge cap for the whole session. |
| Increased Cube Sprite spawns | Cube Sprites appear more frequently across the map. |
| Extra Spider-Man chests | More Spider-Man chests spawn, expected to work like the Spider-Man backpacks from Chapter 3 Season 1. |
Epic has also hinted that more is planned for the event beyond these modifiers, with additional details expected to surface after the update goes live.
When the Web Shooters Hours run
The event is confirmed for August 1, 2026. Epic has not published the exact session times, so treat any specific hour as unconfirmed for now. Based on the pattern of previous Power Hours, the sessions are expected around 2 PM ET and 9 PM ET, but these times are not official.
Note: The Web Shooters Hours are separate windows, not an all-day change. Outside those windows, the Web Shooters revert to their normal behavior with a usage limit.
How to take part
You will know the modifier is active when the Web Shooters keep working without the charge count dropping toward zero. If your Web Shooters still consume charges, you are playing outside an event window.
What the Web Shooters do
The Web Shooters are a Mythic mobility item first introduced in Chapter 3 Season 1. They let you zip across the map with fast, vertical movement, which is why they became one of the most popular traversal tools the game has offered. You equip them like a pickup and use them to swing between points rather than walking or driving.
Fortnite teased their comeback with webs draped across the map before the full crossover reveal.
The Spider-Man: Brand New Day collab around the event
The Web Shooters Hours are one piece of a wider Spider-Man: Brand New Day crossover. Alongside the mobility item, the update adds a Spider-Man outfit based on Tom Holland’s look in the film, complete with a customization that removes the mask. There is also a Punisher skin modeled on Jon Bernthal’s version of the character.
The reveal footage showed both characters fighting the Hulk in the streets of Battlewoods, though no Hulk skin has been confirmed as part of the collab. All of this arrives with the 41.30 update during Chapter 7 Season 3, landing next to other additions like the new Peely and Llama Sprites and the Simpsons Reload content. If movement is your main reason to play, the August 1 windows are the moment to swing around without a charge limit.
