Golden Apples, Jellyfish, Peppers, and more Cheat Master Sprites in chests!

Epic just dropped a fresh Cheat Master Hours event, and it’s a big win for sprite collectors and battle royale fans alike.

• Every player starts with: one Golden Apple, two Jellyfish, and three Peppers right off the bus.
• Cheat Master Sprites are spawning more frequently — great news for hunters working on their Quackadex collections [https://quackadex.com/collection].
• Chests might now contain 1-Up Tokens and Portable Extractors, adding some wild cards to early-game strategies.

Keep an eye out during these hours for those boosted sprite spawns and handy starting items!
