Fortnite‘s weekend Power Hour allows players to easily find Cheat Master Sprites and complete their collection. Cheat Master Sprites start appearing more frequently on September 5 during these hours, but there are also a number of other unique effects that can help those still searching for Sprites like the Cheat Master Klombo and more. Here is when the Cheat Master Hours begin in Fortnite.

What is Happening During the Cheat Master Hours in Fortnite?
All Cheat Master Sprite Power Hour Changes
The Cheat Master Hours are by far the best time to jump into Fortnite and find Cheat Master Sprites, as their drop rate is greatly increased. However, that is not the only change that takes effect during the Power Hours. Other changes include the following:
- Cheat Master Sprites drop more often (all types including Cheat Master Klombo, Origiri, Overshield, and more)
- Everyone spawns with a Golden Apple, two Jellyfish, and three Peppers
- 1-Up Tokens and Portable Extractors spawn in Chests (can be used to help you complete the Meowscles Wrixel Quest)
