Overview
- The v42.10 update is set to go live on Thursday, September 3 at 4:00 a.m. PT / 7:00 a.m. ET, with region‑specific release times and planned downtime before servers reopen.
- Patch notes add three new Sprites — X‑Ray, Onigiri and Knight — including two Design‑a‑Sprite contest winners that give short, match‑affecting abilities such as seeing opponents through walls and extra consumable effects.
- Two new Match Overrides, Big Heads and Prop Hunt, let players change match rules mid‑game so participants can turn into props or play with exaggerated character models.
- Epic confirmed three weapons — Holo Twister Assault Rifle, Deadeye Assault Rifle and Wrecker Revolver — will be placed in the new Loot Hack weapon pool and must be unlocked with Sprite Dust before they can appear in chests.
- A leaker has claimed updated assets for the vaulted Typhoon Blade suggesting a possible return or reskin, but that report is unconfirmed and Epic has not announced any blade return.
