- Fortnite players can get the Overshield Sprite by searching Chests or Relic Chests in Temple Vaults, using Cheat Codes, defeating bosses, or trading it with friends.

The Overshield Sprite was added as part of the Fortnite update v42.10. It is clad in a knight’s armor and is blue in color to represent shields. Its job is to provide extra protection to players during a Battle Royale match in Fortnite. On that note, here’s how to get the Overshield Sprite in Fortnite.
Where to Find Overshield Sprite in Fortnite: All Locations and Methods
There are multiple ways to find the Overshield Sprite and add it to your Sprite Garden in Fortnite. You can use several methods to get the Sprite during a Battle Royale match. As of Fortnite update 42.10, searching Chests, using Cheat Codes, and raiding Temple Vaults are all viable options. That said, here’s everything you need to know about the Overshield Sprite in Fortnite.
Searching Chests and Entering Cheat Codes
The two core methods you can use to find the Overshield Sprite in Fortnite are searching Chests and entering Cheat Codes. Searching Chests for loot is a passive task; don’t focus too much on trying to open every one you come across. However, if this is your preferred method, we suggest opening Rare/Relic Chests within Temple Vaults in Fortnite.
As for Cheat Codes, there are hundreds of them on the island. The majority are concentrated in and around POIs. Based on what we know from the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 map, the largest cluster of Cheat Codes is located in Heatwave Harbor and Cluster Coast POIs. It is recommended that you start your search here.
Trading Sprites with Friends
Trading Sprites in Fortnite with Friends is another great way to get the Overshield Sprite in Fortnite. You can trade rare Sprites, such as Klombo, or perhaps a Mastered Crown Sprite, to get Overshield. Klombo is hard to find, and mastering a Crown Sprite in Fortnite is no easy task.
Eliminate Opponents
The final method to get the Overshield Sprite is by eliminating opponents in Fortnite. This can be difficult to execute if you’re not adept at fighting, but it’s worth a shot. While you’re at it, remember to take on Fortnite Bosses like Hush; when defeated, she drops some of the rarest Sprites in Fortnite.
Search Locations
Aside from the aforementioned POIs, you should search for the Overshield Sprite in Fortnite in other POIs as well. To make things easier to understand, we are adding a map with marked locations that you should check out.
As seen on the map, Fortnite POIs such as Heatwave Harbor, Sunken Shores, and Cluster Coast are the best locations to search on the southern side of the island. Other POIs we recommend searching in are Golden Grove, Chopper Shop, and The Battlewoods.
Now that you know where to find and how to get the Overshield Sprite in Fortnite, we highly recommend organically searching for it while doing Fortnite Quests. This rewards you with additional XP and helps you unlock all rewards on the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Pass.
Fortnite Overshield Sprite Powers Explained
The Overshield Sprite in Fortnite grants you an Overshield that scales with every level. This gives you additional protection and allows you to absorb more incoming damage. It’s a great defensive Sprite to have in your collection.
Here is how the Overshield Sprite’s power increases as it levels up in Fortnite:
| Overshield Sprite Level | Power Increase Per Level |
|---|---|

| Level 2 | TBA |

Based on its functionality, we still rank the X-Ray or Storm Scout Sprite in Fortnite higher on the list. Nevertheless, the Overshield Sprite is still a great choice if you need to play defensively.
