Gem hours are coming to Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 this Saturday, Aug. 8, with Gem sprite variants appearing more often.
Gem sprites reduce the amount of fall damage you take by 30%, and they also make your sprites look like a crystallized version of themselves — making them perfect for back bling. The odds of finding Gem variants are fairly low, so if you want to find one, your best bet is during the Gem hour.Here's what time the Gem hours start and end in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3.
