The Gone Wild event drops five brand-new Sprites onto the Chapter 7, Season 3 island, and each one changes how you move, fight, or track enemies. They join the Sprites already in rotation, sit in their own inventory slot, and stay on the map for the rest of the season once they go live. Here is what every new Sprite does and the exact condition to claim it.
Quick answer: Striker, Fishy, Aura, Boss, and Grim Reaper arrive on Thursday, June 25. Equip a Sprite to get its passive, then extract it to bank it permanently in your collection.
Release time: June 25, 4:00 AM PT / 7:00 AM ET / 1:00 PM CET / 4:30 PM IST
All five Gone Wild Sprites and how to unlock them
Some Sprites spawn naturally in the world, while others lock behind a specific challenge or a boss kill. The table below lists each one with its passive effect and unlock requirement.
| Sprite | Power | How to get |
|---|---|---|
 Striker | Gain Overdrive when you Mantle or Hurdle | Score a goal at the new Soccer Pitch POI |
 Fishy | Faster swim speed plus a movement buff when you take damage | Found in Sprite Chests or Floor Loot |
 Aura | Gain a Shock Rock charge after dealing enough damage | Found in Sprite Chests or Floor Loot |
 Boss | Boosts your max Health and Shield | Defeat any season boss (not a guaranteed drop) |
 Grim Reaper | Marks anyone who attacks you, revealing their location | Found in Sprite Chests or Floor Loot |
Striker Sprite: Score at the Soccer Pitch POI
Striker is the only Sprite with a challenge-based unlock, and it ties into a fresh point of interest. A Soccer Pitch POI arrives on the map in the same June 25 update, and you have to score a goal there to claim the Sprite.
Once it is equipped, Overdrive activates every time you Mantle a ledge or Hurdle an obstacle. Because those are inputs you already use constantly in box fights, the speed boost triggers on its own without any extra effort. Expect heavy player traffic at the pitch on launch day, since everyone will be rushing the same goal.
Boss Sprite: Beat a seasonal boss and hope for the drop
Boss is the survivability pick. It raises your maximum Health and Shield, giving you a larger effective health pool for frontline fights and endgame circles.
To get it, you have to defeat one of the current season’s NPC bosses. The drop is not guaranteed, so you may need to take down a boss several times before it appears. Sort out a reliable loot route before you commit to farming this one.
Grim Reaper and Fishy Sprites: Map control and water mobility
Grim Reaper is built to counter ambushes. The moment an enemy damages you, their location is pinged on your map for a short window, so you can spot a hidden sniper or a flanker and turn the fight around before they reset. Both this and Fishy spawn naturally in Sprite Chests and Floor Loot, so no special steps are needed beyond looting.
Fishy leans on movement. It increases your swim speed for fights near rivers and lakes, and it hands you a short burst of extra movement whenever you take damage. That makes it easier to break line of sight and reach cover after a bad trade.
Aura Sprite: Shock Rock charge is still partly unknown
Aura grants a Shock Rock charge once you pass a minimum damage threshold in combat. Shock Rocks let you chain consecutive midair leaps, so the payoff is added vertical mobility after you put in enough damage.
Epic Games has not detailed the exact damage number required or the full behavior of the charge yet. Treat Aura as a work in progress and test it directly once the event is live. Like Fishy and Grim Reaper, it drops from Sprite Chests and Floor Loot.
How leveling and extraction work
Each Sprite scales from level 1 to 5. You raise that level by opening chests, eliminating opponents, and extracting Sprites, exactly the same as the existing Sprites in the meta. The stronger the level, the stronger the passive.
You know a Sprite is yours for good once you successfully extract it. Extraction banks the Sprite into your permanent collection so you keep it for the rest of the season, even after the event window closes. Equip first, play to level it, then extract to lock in the progress.
Which Sprite to chase first
If you only have time for one Sprite on launch day, prioritize Grim Reaper or Striker. Both trigger off actions you already perform in a standard gunfight, mantling, hurdling, or simply taking a hit, so they pay off immediately without changing your playstyle. Save the Boss Sprite grind for after your loot route is settled, since its drop is down to luck.
New Sprites every Thursday
June 25 is only the opening drop. Gone Wild is structured so fresh Sprites enter rotation every Thursday, and those weekly additions include special variants from the existing pools, such as Galaxy and Gummy types. The event runs across PC, consoles, and mobile at the same time, so check back each week to keep your collection and loadout options current.
