Fortnite Lord Zedd Power Hour Event December Start Time and Gameplay Guide

Lord Zedd storms into Fortnite with a limited-time Power Hour that swaps shotguns and rifles for pure pistol mayhem. Here’s when the chaos begins and how to make the most of this fast-paced event before it’s gone.

Recently, Epic ran a week-long community quest where players had to defeat bugs on the island to collectively unleash the Megazord mech mythic on the island. At the same time, Storm Circle damage and speed became much deadlier since Lord Zedd unleashed his fury on the island. Now he’s once again changing the gameplay with a new Lord Zedd Power Hour event, where the only thing that can save you is using a Blade Blaster to your best ability.

Fortnite Lord Zedd Power Hour Start Time and Details

The Fortnite Lord Zedd Power Hour event begins on January 22, 2026, at 5 PM ET, giving players one hour to take part in a special pistol-only mode inspired by the Power Rangers villain. During this limited-time event, all other weapons are disabled, and participants compete using sidearms to earn exclusive rewards themed after Lord Zedd. The mode is accessible through the in-game event tab, and players can queue solo or with friends to test their aim and quick reflexes in fast-paced matches.

Lord Zedd Power Hour starts on September 20, 2025, at 2 PM E.T. in Fortnite. This means that globally, wherever you are, the Twitter and will last until 3 PM E.T. for an hour.

The event will be a pistol-only mode which means that all weapons will be vaulted and only Power Rangers Blade Blaster will be available for players to use. In case you’re wondering, no, this will not be a different mode; rather, you will be required to load into a regular Zero Build or Battle Royale match, and you’ll be able to play the Lord Zedd’s Power Hour event yourself.

So we’d advise getting a Blade Blaster right away during your Fortnite matches and perfecting your technique with it before you lose on some crucial momentum when the Power Hour begins. This update will not affect the Ranked playlists – so if you’re a pro and want to keep grinding without any interruptions, you’ll still be able to play the standard BR experience for competitive.

What time is the event in my local timezone

The Lord Zedd Power Hour runs from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern Time (ET), which corresponds to 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM in Eastern European Time (EET), your local timezone.

• Eastern Time is normally 7 hours behind EET, so 2:00 PM ET becomes 9:00 PM EET on the same day.

• So you should be ready to queue into a standard Battle Royale or Zero Build match a little before 9:00 PM EET to catch the start of the event.
