All Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3
At launch, Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 features a total of 10 Sprites for players to find and collect. These are categorised according to rarity, and each Sprite provides a unique buff to the player equipping it. Here is a breakdown of all of the Sprites available in Chapter 7 Season 3:
| Rarity | Sprite Name | Buff/Ability |
|---|---|---|
| Rare | Earth Sprite | Gives you a higher chance to pull rare items and weapons when opening chests. |
| Rare | Fire Sprite | Triggers a destructive fiery burst after dealing a set threshold of damage to an enemy. |
| Rare | Water Sprite | Slowly replenishes shields for you and nearby squadmates whenever you stand in water. |
| Epic | Duck Sprite | Emoting or Jamming out anywhere on the map actively replenishes your shields. |
| Epic | Ghost Sprite | Grants a brief period of total cloak (invisibility) immediately upon reloading your weapon. |
| Epic | Demon Sprite | Grants a Siphon effect, restoring a chunk of your health or shield upon eliminating an opponent. |
| Epic | King Sprite | Massive damage multiplier for your Pickaxe (ideal for aggressive wall-taking and structure pressure). |
| Legendary | Dream Sprite | Grants a completely random item every time it levels up, bursting into a pile of Legendary loot at Max Level. |
| Legendary | Punk Sprite | “Possibly nothing… or infinitely something.” |
| Mythic | Zero Point Sprite | Automatically spawns a Shield Bubble Jr. over you whenever you consume a healing item. |
How to Catch Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3
You can catch Sprites by finding them in chests, eliminating opponents carrying them, or exploring the Shattered Coast map in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3. Unlike Chapter 6 Season 1, which had players jumping through a bunch of hoops to get some Sprites, the method of catching Sprites is much more straightforward. Once you catch a Sprite, you will gain the buff attached to it while placing it on your character’s back.
How to Extract a Sprite in Fortnite
To extract a Sprite and add it to your permanent collection, you need to find it during a match and take it to one of the Extraction Sites marked on the map. Here are the steps you can follow to extract Sprites in Chapter 7 Season 3:
- Find a Sprite during a match, regardless of the rarity.
- Carry it to the nearest Extraction Site.
- Interact with the Extraction Site terminal by pressing X/Square on controller or E on PC.
- Wait for the extraction crate to spawn in.
- Once the crate arrives, submit your currently equipped Sprite for extraction.
Extracting a Sprite not only makes it available for you in your collection but also grants you Sprite Dust, which you can use to purchase Extraction Gizmos.
As Chapter 7 Season 3 progresses, players will be able to bypass the Extraction Site landmarks by using the new Gizmo consumables. Here are all of the Extraction Gizmos that players will come across throughout the season:
- Portable Extractor: Extract your equipped Sprite from absolutely anywhere on the island. Ideal for locking down that rare Sprite you’ve been hunting.
- Lucky Locator (Releasing later in the season): Tracks down a buried chest guaranteed to contain a Sprite missing from your collection.
- Extraction Site Booster (Releasing later in the season): Calls in a special Extraction Crate to buff any Sprite extracted at that location.
How to Summon and Upgrade Sprites in Fortnite
Once you have successfully extracted a Sprite, you can use it as more than just a trophy. Before jumping off the Battle Bus into a match, you can spend your accumulated Sprite Dust to summon a Sprite from your collection. You can then start a match with the Sprite’s power immediately active. That said, here is how much Sprite Dust you need to summon each Sprite in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3:

Furthermore, you can upgrade your Sprites’ efficiency by performing actions while they are actively equipped. The activities include opening chests on the map, knocking and eliminating enemy players, and repeating extractions. Successfully banking the same type of Sprite helps you Master the Sprite. This allows you to unlock new customization options for The Guardian skin from the Runners Battle Pass.
Can You Lose a Sprite in Fortnite?
Yes, you can lose a Sprite in Fortnie Chapter 7 Season 3. If you catch a wild Sprite on the island, it occupies an inventory slot and rides on your character’s back. If you are eliminated before you can successfully extract it, you drop the Sprite, leaving it for another player to pick it up. However, you cannot lose an extracted Sprite as that becomes a permanent part of your collection.
