All Gold Sprites in Fortnite and Spawn Rates

Gold Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 are not separate entities, just more prestigious variants of already existing standard Sprites. At the time of writing, almost every Sprite in the game has a low probability of spawning a Gold variant, with a total of 10 different Gold Sprites available in the game.

Here is a full breakdown of all of the Gold Sprites and their chances of spawning during a match:

Where to Find Gold Sprites in Fortnite

You can find Gold Sprites in Fortnite by looking for them in their respective spawn areas. Hunting down Gold Sprites is no easy task, with their spawn rates being notoriously low. While they do not appear in fixed map locations, you can target specific areas on the Chapter 7 Season 3 map and use methods to improve your chances of finding one.

Given below is a breakdown of the best areas to look for all of the different Gold Sprites:

• Gold Water Sprite: Rivers, lakes, and coastal beach biomes.

• Gold Fire Sprite: Cities, towns, and busy urban POIs.
• Gold Fishy Sprite: Near water bodies and by fishing.

• Gold Aura Sprite: Found exclusively in Sprite Chests.

What Do Gold Sprites Do in Fortnite?

Gold Sprites grant players extra 3x bonus XP for eliminating an enemy in a Fortnite match. Apart from their inherent passive abilities, this effect can net you a ton of XP to progress through the Runners Battle Pass. Additionally, if you have a Victory Crown, you can get up to 1,600 XP elimination.

So, if you end up running into one of these rare Sprites, make sure to extract them using a Portable Extractor or a nearby Extraction Site.

Best Method to Get Gold Sprites in Fortnite

With the release of the Fortnite 41.10 update, Epic Games has added the best method to find Gold Sprites in Fortnite so far. As Epic has re-enabled Golden Fishing Spots with the Gone Wild event, players can now fish for these golden companions. This can allow players to get classic Gold Sprites like the Gold Fire Sprite, as well as newer Special variants like the Gold Fishy Sprite and Gold Grim Sprite. Remember, Golden Fishing Spots will spawn at random across the Fortnite island.

Players simply have to search the fishing barrels all across the Island for a Pro Fishing Rod or a Harpoon Gun. They can then use those to fish at the Golden Fishing Spots. Doing so allows you to not only get your hands on some powerful, Legendary-rarity loot, but also the Gold Special Variants of the Fortnite Sprites.
