Epic Games is still handing out freebies across Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, and the newest one is the Hyundai Ioniq 6 Car Body. It arrived with the Final Kickoff event in the 41.20 update and ties into the FIFA World Cup Final celebrations. You don’t need V-Bucks for it, but you do need to do one thing inside a match first and then show up on the right day.

Quick answer: Master a Striker Sprite in a match, then log into Fortnite on July 19, 2026 to receive the Hyundai Ioniq Car Body for free.


What you need before July 19

There is only one real prerequisite. You have to master a Striker Sprite and then be logged in on the day of the FIFA World Cup Final. Miss the login window and the reward will not drop.

How to master the Striker Sprite

Drop into a Fortnite match and make your way to the Soccer Pitch landmark. This is where the Striker Sprite becomes available.
Score a goal at the Soccer Pitch. Once the ball goes in, it turns into the Striker Sprite, which you can then pick up and carry.

Score a goal to claim the Striker Sprite.
Level the Striker Sprite up to Level 5. You do this by searching containers and eliminating enemies while the Sprite is with you.
Once the Sprite hits Level 5, head to an Extraction Site or use a Portable Extractor to extract it. Extracting the Sprite at max level is what counts as mastering it.

Note: If you already have a mastered Striker Sprite, take it into a match and extract it again just to be safe before the deadline.


Claim the car body on July 19

With the Striker Sprite mastered, the last step is timing. Log into Fortnite on July 19, 2026, the day of the FIFA World Cup Final. You will get an in-game notification confirming the Hyundai Ioniq Car Body has been added, and logging in that day also grants the Soccer Ball Toy.

The only common way to miss out is skipping that login. The reward is tied to the Final Kickoff celebration, so signing in on July 19 is not optional. If you have the mastered Sprite but never log in that day, the car body will not appear in your collection.

Once it lands, the Hyundai Ioniq Car Body sits in your locker like any other vehicle cosmetic, ready to swap onto your cars. It is a low-effort pickup for anyone who has already been messing around with Sprites this season, so knock out the Striker Sprite now and set a reminder to sign in.
