Fortnite’s Chapter 7 Season 4 Override added a brand‑new array of 20 Bounty Hunter sprites that light up the map with a distinctive purplish swirl that players can spot even from afar at night.
Release and Activation Details
These Bounty Hunter sprites debuted on Thursday, September 24, 2026, kicking in at 9 AM EDT. They are available for both Battle Royale and Zero Build matches, providing infinite opportunities for players to collect them.
Drop Mechanics and Experience Gains
When you eliminate an opponent, there is a 7 % chance that a Bounty Hunter sprite will drop. Unlike other sprites, these variants only reward Sprite XP from kills, except the Klombo and Crown, which have special progression rules. The more opponents you eliminate with a Bounty Hunter sprite armed, the higher the level you’ll achieve.
