Fortnite Gone Wild Sprites: Striker, Fishy, Aura, Boss, and Grim Reaper

Each of the five new Sprites arriving June 25 carries its own passive and its own way to unlock.

Each of the five new Sprites arriving June 25 carries its own passive and its own way to unlock.

Five new Sprites land on the Chapter 7, Season 3 island when the Gone Wild event opens with New Sprite Day on Thursday, June 25. Each one brings a distinct passive, and a couple of them require you to do something specific in a match before they become available. The full set is already known, so you can plan which ones to chase before the event goes live.

Quick answer: The Gone Wild Sprites are Striker, Fishy, Aura, Boss, and Grim Reaper. They arrive on June 25 and stay reachable through the event, which runs until July 9. Striker comes from scoring at the new Soccer Pitch POI, and Boss drops only after you defeat a boss.


All five Gone Wild Sprites and their passives

The five new options join the Sprites you already hunt across the map. Like the existing companions, they float alongside you as a Back Bling and grant a passive while equipped. Here is what each one does and how you get it.

The Soccer Pitch POI and the Striker Sprite

Striker is the only Sprite tied to a brand-new location. A Soccer Pitch POI gets added to the map on June 25, the same day the Sprites arrive, and scoring a goal there is what unlocks Striker. Once you have it equipped, mantling or hurdling triggers Overdrive, which is useful for quick rotations and aggressive plays.

Boss works on a similar idea but without a fixed spot. Take down any boss already roaming the season and the Sprite can drop, though it is not guaranteed. The other three, Fishy, Aura, and Grim Reaper, follow the usual routine of locating them on the map and bringing them to an extraction point.


How extracting these Sprites works

Finding a Sprite is only half the job. To keep it, you have to carry it to one of the Extraction Sites scattered around the map, marked by white icons and usually placed near major POIs. If you get eliminated before you extract, the Sprite is dropped and another player can grab it.

Once a Sprite is extracted, it stays in your collection for future matches. If you later lose one you have already extracted, you can re-summon it from the Sprites menu by spending Sprite Dust, with the cost scaling to the Sprite’s rarity. Winning a Victory Royale also extracts everything you are carrying automatically.


More Sprites every Thursday during Gone Wild

The June 25 batch is the start, not the whole story. Gone Wild keeps the weekly schedule running, and every Thursday adds another Sprite or a special variant to the pool. Some of those will be themed variants in the style of the Gummy and Galaxy Sprites, so the lineup keeps shifting until the event wraps on July 9.

Saturday, June 27 brings a Galaxy Hour, which should raise the odds of finding Galaxy Sprites in the wild, mirroring how the earlier Gummy Hour boosted Gummy Sprite spawns. Mastery Monday also stays in rotation, with better chances at rarer Sprites and double Sprite Dust from successful extractions. If your goal is to grow your collection quickly, lining up your matches with those windows is the most efficient way to do it.
