How to Get Birthday Sprite in Fortnite

The Birthday Sprite was added to celebrate the ninth anniversary of Fortnite, which marks a huge milestone in how far the Battle Royale mode has come. Unlike other Sprites that take the shape of or resemble some character/creature, the Birthday Sprite is shaped like a slice of cake. If you want to know how to get the Birthday Sprite in Fortnite and what it does, here’s all the information you need.

Fortnite Birthday Sprite Locations and Where to Find It

There are two primary ways to get the Birthday Sprite in Fortnite: Searching rare chests and entering Cheat Codes. Since it is of the “Rare” rarity, it is far more common than others, such as the Klombo Sprite in Fortnite. This is great news, as it makes your search all the easier. Let’s discuss the details in depth.

Searching Rare Chests and Entering Cheat Codes

The best way to get the Birthday Sprite in Fortnite is by searching rare chests. These can be found primarily in Temple Vaults in Fortnite, located under the Mega Maze Landmark and Stone Sanctum POI. These two locations are the best places to get the Birthday Sprite in Fortnite.

We also recommend searching for the Birthday Sprite in and around Fortnite Birthday Cake locations. Since it is connected to Fortnite’s ninth anniversary, the spawn rates in these areas could be higher. Lastly, you can try your luck entering Cheat Codes in POIs that contain the Fortnite Birthday Cake to get the Sprite.

Trading Sprites with Friends and Eliminating Players

Now that we’ve covered the primary methods, let’s talk about the secondary ways to get the Birthday Sprite in Fortnite. If you have some of the rarest Sprites in Fortnite, you can trade them with friends for the Birthday Sprite at secluded locations on the island. Just be sure to have a Fortnite Extraction Gizmo ready to extract the Sprite immediately.

Another method you can try to get the Birthday Sprite in Fortnite involves combat. If you’re adept with weapons and know your way around the Fortnite loot pool, you can try eliminating players to get the Birthday Sprite. If you spot a player who has one, engage them and win the fight to claim it for yourself.

Best Search Locations for Birthday Sprite in Fortnite

As previously mentioned, searching in and around Birthday Cake locations in Fortnite is a good place to start to find the Birthday Sprite. To make your search easier, we have attached a handy map of locations we recommend searching. You may even come across some Fortnite Birthday Presents and open them to get high-tier loot. That said, here is the map.

Aside from the aforementioned marked locations, we recommend searching around the Chopped Shop POI. We’ve had great success finding other Sprites in that location; the Birthday should follow suit. Chopped Shop is also one of the locations marked on our guide for the best loot path to farm Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4.

Fortnite Birthday Sprite Powers Explained

Although the Birthday Sprite is just an animated slice of cake, it has a very cool ability that you should take advantage of. The Birthday Sprite in Fortnite gives you the chance to get Cake Slices when opening chests, which increase as it levels up. At maximum level, each elimination also spawns Cake Slices.

To level up the Birthday Sprite in Fortnite, you need to do tasks such as searching chests, entering Cheat Codes, and extracting other Sprites. However, if you’re using the Birthday Bounty Hunter Sprite in Fortnite, you can only level it up by eliminating other players.

Here is how the Birthday Sprite’s power increases as it levels up in Fortnite.

Looking at the Birthday Sprite’s ability and stats, it almost functions like Loot Hacks in Fortnite. Once you get it to maximum level, you won’t have to worry about healing items in the late-game, as each Birthday Cake Slice restores 20 health/shields.

All Birthday Sprite Variants in Fortnite

There are a total of five Birthday Sprite variants that you can find as of Fortnite update 42.20. This also includes the base version, which is the most common. Here’s a full list of all Birthday Sprites currently in Fortnite:

We could see another ‘spooky’ variant for the Birthday Sprite added during Fortnitemares 2026. There are strong rumors, but nothing concrete at the moment. Either way, Epic Games has plans to release more new Sprites in Fortnite, giving you enough to keep busy until Override ends.

How Rare Is the Birthday Sprite in Fortnite?

The Birthday Sprite is of “Rare” rarity, which means it has a pretty high spawn rate. We suspect it to be around 4% or higher for the base variant. Gold and Fortnite Cheat Master Sprite variants of the Birthday Sprite are going to be harder to find.

On a side note, with Power Hour (September 26, 2026) celebrating Fortnite’s ninth birthday, expect to find the Birthday Sprite more easily. After all, it has been created with the sole intent to celebrate this occasion. We highly recommend that you attend the upcoming Fortnite Sprite event without fail.
