Fortnite will roll out a John Wick Sprite on July 30, 2026 as part of a brand‑new Sprite day.
Sprite mechanics and expected role
Sources indicate the sprite will be limited to Reload mode, coinciding with the return of the Simpsons map in update 41.30. It is unlikely to appear in Battle Royale or Zero Build, at least for the initial launch.
Data‑mining results point to a 5 % boost in pistol damage that aligns with John Wick’s hallmark weapons. The boost should interact directly with the Lancehead Pistol and the 9 MM Baba Yaga, the latter obtainable by rescuing Wick’s canine companion.
The addition will join a roster of hard‑to‑find sprites such as the Pollo Sprite and the Vini Jr. Sprite, which debuted in update 41.20.
Locating and acquiring the new sprite
Players can use the built–in Sprite Locator gizmo or consult sprite chest coordinates to increase their chances of finding the John Wick sprite. If acquiring it proves difficult, trading with friends remains a viable option.
