How Fortnite Catch Up Day Works

Unlike Galaxy Hour or Mastery Monday, Fortnite Catch Up Day is solely focused on Legendary spawn rates. As a result, the event won’t feature double XP, special weapons, or rewards. Instead, Legendary Sprites will have a 4x spawn rate and will specifically appear in their Gummy, Gold, and Galaxy variants.
The following Sprites receive the Catch Up Day boost:
Unfortunately, Catch Up Day only focuses on these three specific Sprites. So if you are looking at unlocking more other Sprite variants, you will want to check out the Fortnite Gold & Gummy Hours that go live on Saturday, July 4, 2026. That event will feature all Sprites, bonus XP, and additional rewards.
