Fortnite’s latest 42.20 update has introduced yet another Sprite to the current collection, and it’s none other than the Blinky Sprite coming with the Pac-Man collab. It’s one of the most unique Sprites yet and resembles the iconic red ghost Blinky from the Pac-Man games. If you’re keen to know how to get the Blinky Sprite in Fortnite, we’ve got you covered with its locations, powers, and variants right here.
Where to Find the Blinky Sprite in Fortnite: All Locations and Methods
There are many ways to get the Blinky Sprite in Fortnite, but only one method is certain. Nevertheless, we are going to mention every possible way to get the Sprite to make your search easier. On a side note, before going on your ‘Sprite hunt’, remember to redeem the newly added Fortnite Admin Panel Lobby Hack Codes (September 2026). That said, let’s get into things.
Eliminating Pac-Man’s Ghosts
As part of the Fortnite x Pac-Man collab, Ghosts have been added to the island. They are easy to spot and easier to defeat, as long as you keep your distance. When eliminated, there’s a very high chance they’ll drop the Blinky Sprite.
You can find these ‘Ghosts” all over the island, but we suggest you narrow your search to the three Pac-Man Landmarks located on the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 map. To the south, you can find Blinky and Pink Island, and to the north, Pac-Man Island. We recommend going to Blinky Island first for obvious reasons.
Enter Cheat Chodes and Search Chests
The next method you can rely on to get the Blinky Sprite is entering Cheat Codes in Fortnite. They are found in abundance in every POI across the island, and during Fortnite Sprite Events, higher rarity Cheat Codes appear more often.
Chests can also be searched for the Blinky Sprite, but don’t expect to find much apart from weapons like Rebecca’s Guns in Fortnite in regular chests. Even so, if this method appeals to you, we recommend you search the two Temple Vaults in Fortnite that contain Relic Chests. As a bonus, you can also find Ghosts next to one of the Vaults at a Landmark called Mega Maze.
Best Search Locations for the Blinky Sprite
Aside from the aforementioned POIs, you should search for the Blinky Sprite in Fortnite in and around the island at night. Their spawn rate is boosted at this time, making it easier to find them. Consider completing Fortnite Quests during the day to get XP to level up and progress along the Battle Pass. We’ve also added a handy map to show you the locations you need to search at a glance.
Now that you know where to find and how to get the Blinky Sprite in Fortnite, choose a method that works for you. If nothing pans out, you can always trade Sprites in Fortnite to get what you need. You have until October 31, so there’s no need to rush.
Fortnite Blinky Sprite Powers Explained
