Epic Games reduced the price of every Fortnite Sprite summon by up to thirty‑three percent in a hotfix issued on July 24.
Updated Sprite Dust Thresholds
- Base Sprites
• Rare: 2 000 → 1 800 (-10%)
• Epic: 3 000 → 2 700 (-10%)
• Legendary: 5 000 → 4 500 (-10%)
• Mythic: 7 500 → 6 750 (-10%) - Sprite Variants
• Rare: 4 000 → 2 700 (-32.5%)
• Epic: 6 000 → 4 000 (-33%)
• Legendary: 10 000 → 6 750 (-32.5%)
• Mythic: 15 000 → 10 000 (-33%)
Player Response
The change brings relief to players who lose a rare Sprite mid‑match. One active user, known online as myfortnitetakes, remarked on X: “Still insanely high. We’re getting towards the end of the season… just make them super cheap or free.” The comment echoes frustration from those who have recently lost valuable items such as the Holofoil Batman Sprite.
Implications for Season 7
With Chapter 7 Season 3 approaching its final month, the lower dust requirements may encourage more frequent Sprite usage, especially for mid‑level variants like the Pollo Sprite. While the reduction eases losses, Mythic variants still demand ten thousand Sprite Dust, leaving ambitious collectors to persist. Anticipation for Chapter 7 Season 4 remains high, yet rumours that Sprites will be carried into the next season have been debunked, adding pressure on Epic to continue moderating costs.
