Epic Games has prepared a powerful event week in Fortnite ahead of the major season-ending update. Players can look forward to new collectible Sprites, unique limited-time events with increased drop rates for rare creatures, and double XP for farming.
The main event of the week will be the debut of a completely new class of creatures—Gem Sprites. The developers decided to excite the community with visual innovations and buffs for Battle Royale.

A precise schedule of all Fortnite events this week (Moscow time)
To ensure you don’t miss out on rare drops and get the most out of XP bonuses, Epic Games has introduced a precise event chronology. Starting with the traditional Mastery Monday, playtime is divided into fixed slots.
Below is a summary table of all the week’s activities, adjusted for Moscow time (MSK):
What do Gem Sprites provide, and are they worth farming?
Gem Sprites aren’t just another cosmetic extra. The developers integrated a powerful passive mechanic: each Gem Sprite found reduces fall damage by 30%.
In the dense, dynamic environments and protracted, high-altitude firefights of end zones, this bonus directly impacts survivability. A few of these creatures in your inventory can effectively mitigate the effects of falling from heights.
Farming takeaway: Saturday’s Gem Hours event is the top priority of the week. While Mastery Monday is worth using to level up and accumulate Sprite Dust, Saturday is the perfect time to farm Gem Sprites to complete your collection roster and gain a gameplay advantage.
