Cheat Master Sprites are the gold-trimmed cousins of the regular Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4: Override. They keep the exact same in-match power as the base version, but they add one convenience perk that only matters when you are standing in front of a Cheat Code trying to unlock more of them.
Quick answer: Equipping a Cheat Master Sprite lets you mash any direction to complete a Cheat Code instead of matching the arrow sequence, and you can grab five of them instantly with the Lobby Hack codes Play4All, GottaGoFast, IWannaFlyHigh, Born2Play, and 8BitBlast.
What the Cheat Master variant changes
Cheat Codes replaced Sprite Chests this season. Walk up to one and the game throws an arrow sequence at you, something like Up, Up, Down, Left, Right, and you have to input it correctly to pop the Sprite inside.
With a Cheat Master Sprite equipped, the sequence stops mattering. You can spam a single direction, hit Up five times against that same code, and it still opens. In a hot drop where someone is pushing you mid-input, that is the whole appeal.
Note: the perk is purely about opening Cheat Codes. It does not buff the Sprite’s combat ability, and it does not change how the Sprite levels up.
Every Cheat Master Sprite and its effect
Each of the season’s launch Sprites has a Cheat Master version, and the effect carries over unchanged from the base Sprite. Here is what all eleven do while equipped.
| Cheat Master Sprite | Effect |
|---|---|
| Jonesy Sprite | Regenerates some Health or Shield a short while after you take damage. |
| Sonic Sprite | Increases your sprint speed as it levels up. |
| Tails Sprite | Lets you hover in the air. |
| Shadow Sprite | Slowly reloads the weapons you are not holding. |
| Jackrabbit Sprite | Gives you a second jump while airborne. |
| Klombo Sprite | Drops random items at each level. |
| Bush Sprite | Places a bush on you after a set duration. |
| Adventure Sprite | Upgrades one random inventory item every time it levels. |
| 8-Bit Sprite | Puts an 8-Bit Shotgun in your first chest and adds a score multiplier for it. |
| Killswitch Sprite | Triggers Hangtime when you aim while jumping or falling, for better accuracy. |
| Crown Sprite | Only levels up through match wins, and turns into a Gold variant. |
Epic is adding more Sprites over the course of the season, and each new one is likely to arrive with a Cheat Master version alongside it.
Free Cheat Master Sprites from Lobby Hack codes
Five Cheat Master Sprites can be claimed without ever dropping into a match. Lobby Hacks are redeemed from an admin panel in the lobby, and these are the ones tied to Sprites.
| Lobby Hack code | Reward |
|---|---|
| Play4All | Cheat Master Jonesy Sprite |
| GottaGoFast | Cheat Master Sonic Sprite |
| IWannaFlyHigh | Cheat Master Tails Sprite |
| Born2Play | Cheat Master Adventure Sprite |
| 8BitBlast | Cheat Master 8-Bit Sprite |
Each code is single-use per account. Once you have claimed it, re-entering the same string does nothing, so there is no way to farm duplicates this way.
Getting the other Cheat Master Sprites from Cheat Codes
The six Cheat Master Sprites without a lobby code, which covers Shadow, Jackrabbit, Klombo, Bush, Killswitch, and Crown, come from Cheat Codes scattered across the island. They sit in the same kinds of spots Sprite Chests used to occupy, and activating one is how you pull the Sprite out.
If you are hunting them deliberately, the Cheat Code Locator Gizmo narrows the search. Two Lobby Hack codes hand it over directly, SurviveTheNight and Finditchat, each granting two Locators.
Tip: claim one of the free Cheat Master Sprites before you start grinding map Cheat Codes. Having the mash perk active from the first drop makes every subsequent code faster to open, which snowballs into more Sprites per match.
The practical takeaway is that the Cheat Master label is about speed of collection, not raw power. Pick the base Sprite whose effect suits how you play, then treat the Cheat Master version as the one you keep equipped while you are still filling out the season’s roster.
