Fortnite has officially confirmed the addition of Tracer’s Pulse Pistols and Mercy’s Caduceus Staff as new cosmetic items. While we’ve seen crossovers dominate the meta before, the specific timing of these Power Hours suggests a community-wide event focus that goes beyond a simple store refresh. Whether you're looking to blink across the battlefield or bring some guardian angel energy to your squad, these items are clearly the main draw for the weekend.
When are the Fortnite Power Hours?
To make sure you don't miss out on the new gear, you'll need to be online during these two specific windows on Saturday:
- First Session: 3:30pm ET
- Second Session: 9:30pm ET
The inclusion of Tracer’s Pulse Pistols as a cosmetic is a massive win for fans of high-mobility aesthetics, and Mercy’s Staff is arguably one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the hero shooter genre. While these are currently listed as cosmetics, the impact on the game's "fashion meta" is immediate. Most players have been waiting for a proper Overwatch collaboration, and starting with two of the most legendary members of the original cast is a strong move by Epic Games. Make sure to sync your clocks; these high-traffic windows usually mean the servers will be packed with players looking to showcase their new loadouts.
