What Happens During the Event?
All players will receive Foundation’s Power Gloves, Boom Sniper Rifle, and a Self-Revive Device at the start of each match. The Boom Sniper Rifle will have buffs, Glider Redeploy will be activated, Rivalry Duel rewards will be increased, and Showdown progress will earn a 2x multiplier. Fandom
The Foundation’s Power Gloves are the star of the show. They are the Mythic version of the Seven Power Gloves, featuring three functions — Punch, Ground Pound, and Uppercut Dash — with the punch dealing 50 damage on hit. Fandom
Why This Power Hour Matters
The 2x Showdown progress multiplier is the biggest reason to log in, especially if you’re grinding the Team Foundation side of the Chapter 7 Season 2 faction war. Chapter 7: Season 2, themed around the Showdown clash between The Foundation and The Ice King, runs until June 5, 2026 — so every bit of Rivalry progress counts with the end in sight. Fandom
