Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 Sprites have become a core mechanic, giving every player a chance to equip a magical companion that grants a distinct tactical edge.
All Available Sprites and Their Powers

- Epic – King Sprite: Multiplies pickaxe damage, perfect for aggressive wall‑taking.
- Legendary – Dream Sprite: Awards a random item each time it levels, culminating in a pile of Legendary loot at max.
- Legendary – Punk Sprite: Described as “possibly nothing… or infinitely something.”
- Mythic – Zero Point Sprite: Spawns a Shield Bubble Jr. automatically whenever you use a healing item.
Capturing and Extracting Sprites
Sprites appear in chests, on downed foes, or wandering the Shattered Coast. When you secure one, it perches on your back and activates its buff.
To add a Sprite to your permanent stash, deliver it to any marked Extraction Site and follow the terminal interaction:
- Locate a Sprite of any rarity during a match.
- Transport it to the nearest Extraction Site.
- Press X/Square (controller) or E (PC) to engage the terminal.
- Await the arrival of the extraction crate.
- Deposit your currently equipped Sprite into the crate.
Successful extraction converts the Sprite into a collectible and rewards you with Sprite Dust, the currency used for Gizmos and summons.
Extraction Gizmos That Accelerate Collection
- Portable Extractor: Enables on‑the‑fly extraction from any location, ideal for securing rare finds.
- Lucky Locator (later release): Highlights a buried chest guaranteed to contain a missing Sprite.
- Extraction Site Booster (later release): Calls in a special crate that enhances any Sprite extracted at that spot.

Upgrading, Loss Risks, and FAQs
While a Sprite is equipped, actions such as opening chests, eliminating opponents, or repeating extractions increase its mastery level, unlocking additional Guardian‑skin customizations from the Runners Battle Pass.
Eliminated before extraction? The Sprite drops at your death location, allowing another player to claim it. Extracted Sprites, however, remain permanent and cannot be lost.
Where do Sprites spawn? In chests, on fallen enemies, and roaming the island.
How are Sprites summoned? By spending the requisite Sprite Dust via the pre‑match Summon option.
What alternatives exist for extraction? Portable Extractors enable on‑the‑spot removal without visiting a fixed site.
Mastering these mechanics will let you tailor every match to your preferred playstyle, turning each Sprite into a strategic asset on the Shattered Coast.
