Fortnite Override: How to Unlock the Cheat Master Klombo Sprite

The rarest of the four New Sprite Day variants now drops from Match Cheat Codes, with a limited spawn boost tied to the weekly reset.

The rarest of the four New Sprite Day variants now drops from Match Cheat Codes, with a limited spawn boost tied to the weekly reset.

The Cheat Master Klombo Sprite is the hardest of the four missing Cheat Master variants to add to your collection in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 (Override). It joined the game during the New Sprite Day reset on Thursday, August 27, alongside the Cheat Master Shadow, Killswitch, and Jackrabbit variants, and it is treated as an ultra-rare drop.

Quick answer: Complete Match Cheat Codes during a Battle Royale game to earn a random Cheat Master Sprite. The Cheat Master Klombo has no guaranteed source, so repeat high-rarity (gold) codes near mountainous areas until it drops, or trade for one from another player.


When the Cheat Master Klombo Sprite unlocked

The variant went live with the weekly Sprite reset at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET on August 27, 2026. That same reset added the final four Cheat Master Sprites and moved several previously code-locked variants into the regular loot pool, bringing the total number of Cheat Master Sprites to 11.

New Sprite Day sat inside a wider weekly schedule for the Override event. Cheat Code Day ran on Monday, August 24, and a Sonic-themed Power Hours event is set for Saturday, August 29, which raises the odds of finding Sonic-related Sprite variants and introduces the Storm Scout Sprite and its Base, Gold, and Cheat Master versions.


How to unlock the Cheat Master Klombo Sprite through Match Cheat Codes

The Cheat Master Klombo is not sold, gifted through a lobby hack code, or tied to a quest. You earn it by completing Cheat Codes that appear inside a match, and the reward is randomized, so it can take many attempts before Klombo specifically drops.

Load into a standard Battle Royale match. Solo Zero Build works well for uninterrupted looting while you hunt for Cheat Code devices.

Find a Cheat Code device (Cheat Code Injector) around points of interest. Each device shows a sequence of directional inputs on screen.
Interact with the device and enter the displayed combination correctly. Finishing the sequence gives a chance at one of the new Cheat Master variants, including Klombo.
Prioritize gold-colored Cheat Codes. The rarity of the code sequence signals the quality of the Sprite you can receive, and gold codes carry the best odds of producing an ultra-rare drop like Klombo.

Wonky Land is a strong farming spot because several Cheat Code Injectors sit close together, letting you attempt multiple codes in a single landing instead of crossing the map after each try. Klombo can also appear from regular Chests and Cheat Code Chests, but those odds are extremely low. Defeating an enemy who is already carrying one, or trading with a player who has a spare, is often the fastest route.

How you know it worked: After you complete the sequence, the reward is granted immediately, and the Cheat Master Klombo appears in your Override Sprite collection. Because the payout is not guaranteed, an empty result simply means the code did not roll Klombo this time.

Best time and place to find Klombo

The August 27 reset also boosted Cheat Master spawn rates for 24 hours starting at 9:00 AM Eastern Time, with Klombo highlighted as the main target of that window. Outside boosted periods, Sonic-focused Power Hours and future events remain the better moments to chase rare Sprites.

Klombo is spotted more often near high and mountainous areas of the Island. There is no fixed spawn point, so treat those regions as a priority when you land and route between Cheat Code devices.

What the Klombo Sprite does and how to level it

Klombo is a Mythic-tier Sprite that grants a random item every time it reaches a new level, and the quality of those items improves with each Level Up. That makes it a loot generator rather than a movement or combat buff.

Normal Sprite XP does not raise Klombo’s level. Instead, you feed it consumables that restore Health or Shield, such as Medkits, Shield Potions, Small Shield Potions, Chug Jugs, and Guzzle Juice. Balance this against your own survival, since every consumable spent on Klombo is one you are not using yourself. If you go down while carrying it, you can summon it again by spending Sprite Dust, and the Sprite Dust cap has been raised back to 200,000.


Other Cheat Master Sprites and how to get them

Six Cheat Master variants are unlocked instantly through lobby hack codes entered in the Admin Panel from the main menu, while the newest additions come only from Match Cheat Codes. The Cheat Master Crown is earned separately by leveling the Crown Sprite, which itself is unlocked by winning a match and mastered by stringing together five consecutive wins.

With Klombo now living in the Match Cheat Code pool, completing the Cheat Master collection comes down to patience and where you spend your attempts. Farm gold codes in mountainous zones during boosted windows, keep an eye out for opponents already carrying one, and lean on trading if the random rolls refuse to cooperate.
