What Was the Original April Fools Event?
The April Fools Event celebrated April 1st 2026 and included Big Heads (players have enlarged heads), Finger Guns (special finger guns go pew pew), Shoulder Riding with multi-stacking capability, rideable Llamas around the Island, and Fall Damage Immunity — players make a splat sound when landing instead.
The original update was live for a limited 24-hour window only, running from April 1 at 5:30 AM ET until April 2 at 5:30 AM ET. FRVR The Fooled Me Twice Power Hour is your second — and likely last — chance to experience all of this again.
Why the Rivalry Credits Matter
Rivalry Credits are earned by eliminating Rivals in matches, and can be spent at Rivalry Screens for special loot and other rewards. The credits carry over between matches, so you can save and spend whenever you like. GamesRadar+
Successfully eliminating an opponent within the time limit grants 10–20 Rivalry Credits, which can then be used at Rivalry Screens to purchase weapons, perks, and other items.
Stacking Credits during the Power Hour gives you a direct edge in the ongoing Fortnite Showdown event — the season-long competition running until April 16, 2026, where top players can win real-world prizes including an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080.
