The hardest companion to land in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 is the Gummy Zero Point Sprite, and Epic is about to give players a much bigger window to chase it. The upcoming Saturday Power Hour focuses entirely on Gummy Sprites, and for the first time the event has been stretched from its usual single hour to two full hours.
Quick answer: During the upcoming Saturday Power Hour, Gummy Sprites appear in chests far more often than normal, and the event lasts two hours instead of one. Drop into matches during that window, crack open as many Sprite Chests as possible, and extract any Gummy variant you find to lock it in.
What the doubled Gummy Power Hour changes
Power Hours are recurring Saturday events where Epic adjusts how the game plays for a short stretch. That can mean reintroducing an older weapon, tweaking damage numbers, or boosting how often certain items show up. The previous Power Hour made Gold Sprites more common in chests, and this week the same boost applies to Gummy Sprites.
The new wrinkle is the length. Epic confirmed it is doubling the event to two hours, which gives players twice as much time to grind chests while the elevated spawn rates are active. That extra hour matters a lot for the rarest variants, where a single match rarely produces a hit.
Why the Gummy Zero Point Sprite is so hard to find
Sprites are equippable companions that sit in their own inventory slot and grant passive abilities during a match, from handing you shields to nudging up your odds of finding rare loot. Find one in a game, extract it, and you unlock it permanently. They first arrived in Chapter 6, Season 1 back in December 2024, but Chapter 7, Season 3, which began on June 6, turned them into a central part of the game.
The Zero Point Sprite is already rare on its own. Its standard version spawns a Shield Bubble Jr. around you when you use a healing item, and it appears in a Sprite Chest only about 1.044% of the time. Every Sprite also has variants, and the Gummy version is the toughest pull in the entire system.
| Zero Point Sprite version | Source | Spawn chance |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Zero Point Sprite | Sprite Chest | 1.044% |
| Gummy Zero Point Sprite | Sprite Chest | 0.006% |
| Gummy Zero Point Sprite | Rare Chest | 0.0021% |
To put that in perspective, your chance of pulling a Gummy Zero Point Sprite from a Sprite Chest sits just above the lifetime odds of being struck by lightning. Only one confirmed extraction of the Gummy Zero Point Sprite exists so far, with a handful of unverified claims circulating online. The extended Power Hour is the best realistic shot most players will get at adding it to their collection.
Spawn rate changes already live on the Island
Outside the Power Hour, Epic has already adjusted Sprite spawns to ease the grind. Gold Sprite spawn rates have been doubled across the Island, and the starter Gummy Sprites now appear more frequently as well. The high-tier Gummy variants have been left untouched while Epic monitors how things settle.
| Sprite type | Current change |
|---|---|
| Gold Sprites | Spawn rates doubled across the Island |
| Starter Gummy Sprites (Fire, Water, Earth) | Spawning more often |
| Epic+ Gummy variants (Demon, King, and above) | Unchanged for now |
Note: The rarest variants like the Gummy Zero Point Sprite are not part of that everyday spawn bump, which is why the doubled Power Hour is the moment to target them.
Where Gummy Sprites spawn and how to farm them
There are 10 Gummy Sprites in total, each tied to an existing Sprite type. They have no fixed spawn points, and whether a Sprite shows up as a Gummy variant is controlled by RNG. What you can control is where you land and which chests you prioritize, since several variants are locked to specific biomes or chest types.
| Gummy Sprite | Base rarity | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Gummy Water Sprite | Rare | Rivers, lakes, and coastal beaches |
| Gummy Earth Sprite | Rare | Dense forests and wooded areas |
| Gummy Fire Sprite | Rare | Cities, towns, and busy urban POIs |
| Gummy Duck Sprite | Epic | Near the vaults at Sinister Strip and Frosted Flats |
| Gummy Ghost Sprite | Epic | Anywhere on the map, but only at night |
| Gummy Demon Sprite | Epic | Sprite Chests and blue Rare Chests |
| Gummy King Sprite | Epic | Sprite Chests, Rare Chests, or defeated AI bots |
| Gummy Dream Sprite | Legendary | Vault Sprite Chests and storage crates |
| Gummy Punk Sprite | Legendary | High-tier Vault Sprite Chests (keycard required) |
| Gummy Zero Point Sprite | Mythic | High-tier Vault Sprite Chests only (keycard required) |
The Burnt Peanut Sprite is the only Season 3 Sprite without a Gummy version, so every other type is on the table. To make the most of the doubled event, route your drop toward the right environment for the variant you want, and cycle through as many chests per match as you can. The Punk, Dream, and Zero Point Gummies come only from Sprite Chests or Vault Sprite Chests, so vault runs are the only path to them. If you are hunting the Gummy Ghost Sprite, plan your matches around the nighttime cycle, since it never appears during the day.
What Gummy Sprites do and how to keep one
Every Gummy Sprite hands you a flat 10% Sprite Dust bonus when you extract it, whether you bank at an Extraction Site or use a Portable Extractor. That bonus stacks on top of the Sprite’s normal ability, so a Gummy Demon Sprite still siphons health and shields from enemies you eliminate while also paying out extra dust. Sprite Dust is the currency you spend to buy back lost companions, which is why the 10% adds up fast for players who extract often.
A Gummy Sprite is easy to spot in the open world. It wears a candy-style pattern over the base Sprite’s look, so you can tell it apart from a standard or Gold variant at a glance. You only secure it once the extraction completes and the Sprite shows up in your collection back in the lobby.
The most common way to lose a rare find is dying mid-extraction. Public Extraction Sites attract campers waiting to steal a kill, so a Portable Extractor is the safer call. It returns the Sprite to your lobby quickly and with far less risk. With the extended Power Hour boosting Gummy odds for two hours straight, banking carefully is the difference between finally landing that Gummy Zero Point Sprite and handing it to an opponent. Good luck out there.
