What is Mastery Monday in Fortnite?

Mastery Monday is a weekly event that gives players the chance to increase their Sprite collection more quickly.

This is because the event offers increased spawn rates for Legendary and Mythic Sprites, extra Sprite Dust and Sprite XP, and the chance to obtain additional Portable Extractors.

Mastery Monday only lasts until the end of Chapter 7 Season 3, so you'll want to make the most of it while you can.

That being said, all the Sprites you obtain this season will carry over into Season 4, though only as a variant of the Sprite Mastery Pod Back Bling and as a pilot in the Guardian Outfit.

Hopefully we'll see them return in-game later down the line, but if you're enjoying them now, then you've not got long to continue enjoying them before they're gone!
