Every source that drops the Rare Bush Sprite, the exact steps for its Cheat Master variant, and what the pet does when equipped.

The Bush Sprite is one of the easiest pets to add to your collection in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4. It is a Rare Sprite that you can claim at the very start of a match, but its rarer Cheat Master version sits behind a short grind. Here is exactly where it drops, how each variant works, and what happens once you equip it.

Quick answer: Pick the Bush Sprite as one of the three Starter Sprites to grab the base version instantly, or open Blue Cheat Code Chests for the most reliable in-match drop.

Bush Sprite variants in the loot pool

Three finishes of the Bush Sprite currently exist. The base version is the one Starter Sprites hand out, while Gold and Cheat Master are the rarer collectibles.

  • Base
  • Gold
  • Cheat Master

How to unlock the Cheat Master Bush Sprite

The Cheat Master variant is the one method that does not rely on luck. It comes from finishing a specific story questline and then using a Lobby Hack Code, so anyone willing to put in the time can guarantee it.

Work through the Wrixel (Ziggy): Get Crafty story quests until the line is complete. This is the requirement that gates the Cheat Master version.
Apply the GatherAndCraft Lobby Hack Code. With the quests done and that code active, the Cheat Master Bush Sprite becomes available to you.

You will know it worked when the Cheat Master Bush Sprite shows up in your collection alongside the base and Gold finishes.


What the Bush Sprite does when equipped

Equipping the Bush Sprite grants you a bush after a short delay. The pet gives you cover you can wear, letting you blend into the surroundings without building anything.

The wait before the bush activates shrinks as you level the Sprite up, so a higher-level Bush Sprite equips its cover faster. At max level, the pet creates a bush the instant you score an elimination.

The effect is strongest in Zero Build, where you cannot throw up walls to break line of sight. Wearing a bush lets you sit in the open and hide in plain sight, which is far more valuable when building is off the table.
