As Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, titled “Override,” moves into its final month, the interactive Admin Panel in the lobby has become the primary method for players to claim seasonal rewards and gameplay modifiers. With the annual Fortnitemares event scheduled to begin on October 1, a final set of codes has been released to celebrate Fortnite’s ninth anniversary and tease an upcoming collaboration with Five Nights at Freddy’s.
The Admin Panel is a seasonal mechanic found in the upper right corner of the Battle Royale lobby screen. By entering specific strings of text, players can unlock “Sprites”—this season’s unique gameplay modifiers—as well as permanent cosmetics and temporary lobby visual effects.
Ninth Anniversary and FNCS Codes
To mark the game’s ninth birthday and the recent FNCS livestream on September 26, several codes were distributed to the community. These are expected to remain active through the transition into the Fortnitemares 2026 update.
- 9Years: Unlocks the 9th Birthday Sprite spray and emote.
- WeAreTheWorldChampionsToday: Rewards the limited-edition FNCS Sentry Back Bling.
Fortnitemares Teasers and Crossovers
On September 29, the code PowerOut was added to the Admin Panel. According to reports from VICE, entering this code triggers a Five Nights at Freddy’s jumpscare teaser within the lobby. While the current effect is cosmetic, community analysis suggests the code may eventually unlock specific FNAF-themed Sprites as the Halloween event progresses.
For fans of the ongoing gaming-themed “Override” season, several “Cheat Master” Sprites remain available for redemption. These modifiers change the behavior of the player’s character or UI during matches:
- GottaGoFast: Unlocks the Sonic the Hedgehog Sprite.
- IWannaFlyHigh: Unlocks the Tails Sprite.
- Born2Play: Unlocks the Adventure Sprite.
High-Tier Rewards and Lobby Effects
The most difficult reward to claim this season is the Void Master style for the Geno skin. Entering the code YourThoughtsAreMine will only grant the reward if the player has reached the final stage of the “Geno: The Ultimate Reality” questline. If the quest requirements are not met, the Admin Panel will reject the entry.
Players looking for immediate, though temporary, entertainment can use the code BRB. This “hack” temporarily transforms every player currently in the lobby into a toilet, a recurring gag documented by Nintendo Life during the season’s launch.
Chapter 7 Season 4 is currently scheduled to conclude on October 31. While many of these codes are tied to the “Override” theme, the transition to Fortnitemares on October 1 is expected to introduce a secondary set of panel entries specifically focused on the holiday’s traditional spooky rewards.
