About Fortnite Sprites

The complete guide to the Sprite system introduced in Fortnite's Runners season — what they are, how they work, and everything you need to know to build the perfect collection.

Find a Sprite, Extract It, Collect It

Sprites with new abilities are all over the new Island, and everyone wants them. Find one in a match and extract your Sprite to add it to your collection. Bring them to future matches and get their powers from the jump.

Some Sprites can wrap you in shields, grant temporary invisibility, or give bonus burst damage. Rare ones can change the whole flow of a match — pairing the right Sprite with the right playstyle is what separates a good drop from a Victory Royale.

Sprites: Extract It or Lose It

In this new reality, Sprites are diverse and coveted helpers, with each granting a special Sprite Power ability when equipped. Find a Sprite in a match, get to an Extraction Site, defend your pick-up while the timer runs, and you'll bank it to your Collection for use in future matches.

Get eliminated before you bank your Sprite and it'll be left on the battlefield for the next player to steal. Be quick to grab these if you find them.
