Redeem one admin panel code to add the Gold Jonesy Sprite to your collection without finding it on the map.

Redeem one admin panel code to add the Gold Jonesy Sprite to your collection without finding it on the map.

The Gold Jonesy Sprite is a rare variant in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, and you can claim a free copy straight from the lobby instead of hunting for it in a match. A single admin panel code drops it into your Sprite collection as a one-time reward.

Quick answer: Open the admin panel in the top-right corner of the Battle Royale lobby, type JonesyIsGolden, and select Submit. The Gold Jonesy Sprite is added to your collection.

Redeem the JonesyIsGolden code in the admin panel

Lobby hack codes are entered in the admin panel of the main Battle Royale lobby, before you load into a match. Each code works one time and grants a fixed reward.

Launch Fortnite and stay in the Chapter 7 Season 4 Battle Royale lobby. You do not need to load into a match to redeem the code.
Look at the upper-right corner of the lobby for the admin panel tab. Press and hold the prompted button until the password entry screen appears. On Nintendo Switch, that button is Y.
Type JonesyIsGolden into the text box and select Submit. The code is not case sensitive, so the surrounding capitalization does not matter.

What the Gold Jonesy Sprite does

The Gold Jonesy Sprite is a Special rarity item that starts at Level 1. It carries two passive effects once equipped, giving you both a survival boost and a faster path through the Battle Pass.

How to confirm it worked

After you submit the code, an item card for the Gold Jonesy Sprite appears on screen. The sprite is then saved to your Sprite collection, and you can equip it from there for future matches.

Redeeming the code also grants Sprite Dust. If you already picked up a Gold Jonesy Sprite while playing, the code will hand you extra Sprite Dust instead of a duplicate, so there is no downside to entering it either way.


Availability and where it fits in the loot pool

The JonesyIsGolden code became active on August 24 at 9 AM ET, alongside Cheat Code Day. The Gold Jonesy Sprite itself is a Rare variant that also sits in the regular loot pool, meaning it can turn up through chests and Cheat Codes during a match.

The full set of Gold Sprites went live early in Chapter 7 Season 4, adding eleven new variants across the map that range from Rare up to Mythic.

Lobby hack codes like this one are expected to stay active for the rest of the season, but it is worth redeeming while it is confirmed working in case it retires sooner.
