How to Get Transponder Snail Sprite in Fortnite

The Transponder Snail was added to Fortnite as part of the One Piece collab and is, without a doubt, the strangest-looking Sprite in Treasure Hunters. It resembles a snail, is blue in color, and has a yellow shell with a red line painted across it. If you want to learn more, including how to get the Transponder Snail Sprite in Fortnite, here’s everything we can tell you.

Fortnite Transponder Snail Sprite Locations and Where to Find It

Transponder Snail is of “Legendary” rarity, which makes it easier to obtain than the Sweet Dreams Sprite in Fortnite Treasure Hunters. You will still need to actively search for it, but it shouldn’t take too long, unlike searching for the Pirate Shop Token in Fortnite.

Here are a few ways to get the Transponder Snail Sprite in Fortnite Treasure Hunters Mini Season:

• Defeat Buggy: The guaranteed and best way to get the Transponder Snail Sprite is to defeat the Buggy Boss in Fortnite Treasure Hunters Mini Season. He can be found outside Buggy’s Beachfront POI. Eliminate him in combat, and the Sprite is yours.
• Wanted Posters: Complete Wanted Posters in Fortnite, and if you’re lucky, you can get the Transponder Snail.
• Lucky Locator: If you don’t want to do a boss fight to complete Wanted Posters, using the Lucky Locator Gizmo is the next best option.
• Vaults: Open Vaults and search rare Treasure Hunt Chests in Fortnite to improve the odds of finding the Transponder Snail Sprite.

Although it’s a rare find, the Transponder Snail is still easier to find than the Crused Plundarrgh Sprite in Fortnite. If you’re yet to find it, attend Captain’s Day this week to boost your chances or consider partaking in Fortnite Treasure Hours, which is when Sprite drop rates are increased.

Best Locations to Find Transponder Snail Sprite in Fortnite

We’ve already mentioned that the best place to get the Transponder Snail in Fortnite is at Buggy’s Beachfront, by defeating Buggy. However, if you prefer searching chests and completing Wanted Sprite Posters in Fortnite Treasure Hunters Mini Season, there are more suitable locations for this task.

Here’s a map of other locations to get the Transponder Snail Sprite in Fortnite Treasure Hunters:

As seen on the map, since the Transponder Snail Sprite is part of the Fortnite One Piece collab, it’s best to search POIs that are related to the anime/manga. There’s no guarantee of finding it there since it’s based on RNG, much like the Pirate Shop Token’s drop rate in Fortnite, but it’s worth trying.

Fortnite Transponder Snail Sprite Powers Explained

The Transponder Sprite in Fortnite grants extra resources on pickup, with teammates who also have it equipped receiving some extra resources as well. This is a very unique power and sets it apart from every other Sprite in Fortnite Treasure Hunters Mini Season, but there’s just one problem: The Transponder Snail is all but useless in Fortnite Zero Build.

You can level up the Transponder Snail in the usual way by searching containers and chests, getting eliminations, and extracting other Sprites, but you get no benefits in Zero Build. Unless you play regular Battle Royale, you are better off using Chester or the Wayfinder Sprite in Fortnite Treasure Hunters.

All Transponder Snail Sprite Variants in Fortnite

As of the Fortnite update 43.10, there is only one variant of the Transponder Snail Sprite in Treasure Hunters Mini Season. Given it’s part of a collab with One Piece, there’s likely not going to be another variant.

How Rare Is the Transponder Snail Sprite in Fortnite?

The Transponder Snail has a drop rate of 1.254%, which is the same as Lil Flacko and Lil’ Uzi Vert Sprites in Fortnite, since all three are dropped by their respective bosses. If you’re yet to find and add it to your Sprite Garden in Fortnite, there’s no need to rush since it’s easily available, provided you make the effort.
