Sprites are the centerpiece of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, and grabbing one off the ground is only half the job. To actually keep a Sprite, you have to survive long enough to carry it to an extraction point and lock it into your collection. Miss that step, and everything you looted stays in the match you just left.
Quick answer: Pick up a Sprite from a chest, supply drop, or Sprite Chest, walk it to any Extraction Site (the white icons that shoot a beam of light into the sky), and hold the point until the extraction finishes. Once it completes, the Sprite is saved to your collection and can be summoned in later matches using Sprite Dust.
Where Sprites drop in Chapter 7 Season 3
There are 16 unique Sprites this season, split across four rarity tiers. Most of them show up in the normal loot pool, so you can pull them from regular chests, supply drops, and dedicated Sprite Chests. A few have specific triggers instead of pure luck.
- Boss Sprite drops from any Boss you defeat on the map.
- Striker Sprite unlocks when you score a goal at the Soccer Pitch POI.
- The rarest ones, including the Mythic Zero Point, TheBurntPeanut, and Grim Reaper Sprites, have very low spawn chances and are the hardest to find.
Rarity climbs from Rare (Water, Earth, Fire, Fishy) up through Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. The higher the rarity, the lower your odds of finding one, which is exactly why extraction matters so much.
How to extract a Sprite
How to know the extraction worked
A successful extraction moves the Sprite into your permanent collection. From that point on it counts toward your completion progress and can be summoned again in later matches. Base, Gold, Gummy, and Galaxy versions all register as separate entries, so extracting a variant adds a distinct slot to your collection rather than duplicating one you already own.
Why an extraction fails
The main way to lose a Sprite is to get eliminated before the extraction finishes. If another player takes you out while you’re carrying one, that Sprite drops and is up for grabs for whoever gets to it. Anyone can then walk it to an extraction point and claim it for their own collection.
Note: Extraction Sites are high-traffic zones because they sit near big POIs and light up the sky. Expect other players to contest the point, especially if they know a rare Sprite just went in.
Sprite Dust and summoning Sprites in future matches
Sprite Dust is the currency that powers your collection between matches. After you’ve extracted a Sprite, you spend Sprite Dust to summon it again in a new game. The amount you need scales with the Sprite’s rarity, so Mythic summons cost far more than a common Rare one.
You earn and spend Sprite Dust through three main activities, which also feed into upgrading your Sprites:
- Exploration — finding and opening chests.
- Eliminations — downing and eliminating opponents.
- Extraction — successfully extracting Sprites.
Sprite variants and their bonuses
Almost every Sprite comes in multiple versions. Each variant keeps the base Sprite’s passive ability and stacks an extra bonus on top, which is why hunting variants is one of the season’s longest grinds. TheBurntPeanut Sprite is the exception, with only its standard version available.
| Variant | Extra bonus on top of the base ability |
|---|---|
| Base | Original Sprite ability only |
| Gold | 3x bonus Sprite XP on eliminations |
| Gummy | 10% more Sprite Dust when you extract |
| Galaxy | 20% more ammo when you open ammo boxes |
| Holofoil | 5% higher chance for your squad to find rare Sprite variants from chests |
Because those bonuses stack, a variant is generally worth more than its base version. A Gold Demon Sprite still siphons Health and Shield on eliminations while also handing you extra Sprite XP, and a Galaxy Zero Point Sprite still spawns a Shield Bubble Jr. when you heal while topping up your ammo pickups.
The takeaway is simple. Finding a Sprite is easy, but keeping one is a fight. Equip it for the buff, plan a route to a lit-up Extraction Site, and be ready to defend the point until the bar fills. Do that, bank the Sprite Dust, and you can bring your favorites back into every match that follows.
