Fortnite Override: All Sprite Locations in Chapter 7 Season 4

Sprites survived the jump into Chapter 7 Season 4, but the way you find them did not. The old collection has been retired, the map’s dedicated Sprite Chests are gone, and the whole hunt now runs through the season’s Cheat Code system. In their place is a gaming-themed lineup built around Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Klombo, and a handful of returning Fortnite regulars.

Quick answer: Open Cheat Code Chests to get Sprites — blue chests roll Rare, purple roll Epic, gold roll Legendary — then lock them in at an Extraction Site or with a Portable Extractor before you die or the match ends.

Every way to get Sprites in Fortnite Override

Cheat Code Chests are the backbone of the system. They sit at fixed spots around the island, and opening one means entering the Cheat Code displayed on it. Each chest hands over a random Sprite, and the chest’s color tells you the rarity floor you are rolling against.

Three Sprites can also be picked before you ever land. Adventure, Bush, and Jonesy are all available as your starter Sprite, though only in their base form — the variants have to be earned the hard way.

Where each Sprite tends to spawn

There is no fixed coordinate list for individual Sprites — the pool is randomized per match. What does hold up is elevation. Most of the season’s Sprites turn up more often around high ground and mountainous areas, which makes the island’s peaks a better opening rotation than the flat coastal POIs.

• High and mountainous areas: Crown, Klombo, Jackrabbit, Tails, Shadow, Sonic, 8-Bit, Adventure, Jonesy, and Storm Scout
• Night matches: Killswitch, found out on the island after dark
• Starter selection: Adventure, Bush, and Jonesy, base variants only

Everything else comes down to chest volume. Run a Cheat Code Locator early, clear the codes you find on your route, and treat regular chests as a bonus roll rather than a plan.

All Chapter 7 Season 4 Sprites, rarity, and effects

Eleven Sprites arrived with the v42.00 update, with Cheat Master versions of each pushing the launch total to 22 entries. The Storm Scout Sprite is also part of the season’s lineup, though it is tied to a Sprite Day release rather than launch day — those drops typically land on Thursdays.

Sprite	Rarity	Effect
Klombo Sprite	Mythic	Hands you random items at each level. Only levels up when you use health or shield consumables.
Crown Sprite	Mythic	Grants extra Crown Wins after a Victory Royale. Levels up only by winning matches.
Jackrabbit Sprite	Legendary	Gives you a second jump while airborne.
Sonic Sprite	Epic	Raises your sprint speed.
Tails Sprite	Epic	Lets you hover in the air.
Shadow Sprite	Epic	Reloads your weapons over time, even the ones you are not holding.
Killswitch Sprite	Epic	Enters Hangtime with improved accuracy.
Storm Scout Sprite	Epic	Applies Overdrive once you have taken enough storm damage. At max level it also reveals upcoming storm circles.
8-Bit Sprite	Rare	Puts an 8-Bit Shotgun in your first chest and adds a score multiplier for it.
Adventure Sprite	Rare	Upgrades one random item in your inventory every time it levels.
Bush Sprite	Rare	Drops a bush on you after a delay, and the delay shrinks each level. At max level you get one on every elimination.
Jonesy Sprite	Rare	Restores some health or shield shortly after you take damage, healing more at higher levels.

Cheat Master and Gold Sprite variants

Two variant lines exist alongside the base Sprites, and both stack on top of the base effect rather than replacing it.

A Cheat Master version exists for all 11 launch Sprites. Gold Sprites are the returning variant for the season, and Epic has scheduled the first Gold Hours Power Hour for Saturday, August 22.

How to extract Sprites and keep them

A Sprite in your inventory is not a Sprite in your collection. Until you extract it, it stays locked to the match, and anyone who eliminates you walks away with it. There are two ways to secure one.

The quieter option is the Portable Extractor, a Gizmo that extracts Sprites without broadcasting your position. You can buy one at an Extraction Site once every 24 hours, with the daily reset landing at 9AM ET, and they also show up as Quest rewards.

Note: if you pull something rare early, bank it immediately rather than finishing your loot route. There is no partial credit for a Sprite you were carrying when you went down.

What changed for Sprites this season

Several rough edges from the previous season have been sanded down, and most of them affect how quickly you can decide whether a Sprite on the ground is worth the detour.

• You can now see mid-match whether a Sprite is already in your collection.
• A Sprite’s name appears when you get close to it.
• Summoning rare Sprites and variants costs less Sprite Dust.
• The button hold time for summoning a Sprite is shorter.

Sprites still to come

Five more Sprites are confirmed for later in the season, all of them winners from the Design-A-Sprite competition. No release dates have been confirmed for them yet.

The practical takeaway is that the grind has shifted from map knowledge to route efficiency. Cheat Code Chests are the reliable path, elevation is your best bet for stumbling into loose Sprites, and everything you collect is only as safe as your next trip to an extraction point.
