The Muscle Hour event in detail

Lord Zedd, who had already modified the storm by speeding it up, is now targeting the weaponry available on the island. For the duration of the event, the map will only feature healing items, throwable items, and the Mythic Blade Blasters.

The Blade Blasters are mythic weapons introduced in update v37.30, in partnership with Power Rangers, and are now the only offensive weapons available to fighters.

This event is part of the ongoing narrative that began with the arrival of the Power Rangers in Chapter 6 Season 4. After the appearance of the Green Ranger in the Battle Pass and the arrival of the other rangers in the item shop, players were involved in the community quest rollout to make Megazord appear on the island.

Schedule and how to take part in the event

Lord Zedd's Muscle Hour takes place on Saturday, September 20th, between 8 PM and 9 PM, lasting one hour, just as short as its name suggests.

Simply join a battle royale match shortly after 8 PM to take part in this fleeting event. From that point on, players will notice that all classic weapons have disappeared, replaced by Blade Blasters for the duration of the hour, before the usual arsenal returns to the island once the event ends.

This short duration, without undermining the game's long-term balance, is designed to ensure that players who aren't confident about having to play using only the Blade Blasters still get the chance to enjoy their usual playstyle, while preserving a fun experience for one hour.
