The October 17 announcement described boosted Trick-or-Treat Sprite variants and changes to Freddy’s Nightmare during the Power Hours. Those temporary rules should not be treated as permanent match behavior.
Evidence status: Historical event — ended. This guide is dated; it does not automatically verify new announcements.
What the announcement described
Epic highlighted enhanced movement and slashing for Freddy’s Nightmare, more Trick-or-Treat variants, and possible 1-Up and Extractor drops. The wording “may drop” does not guarantee a reward from every encounter.
Use the correct baseline after the event
Outside an announced window, return to the normal update notes. If a guide shows unusually frequent drops, check when it was recorded before using it to estimate your own match outcome.
