Sprites are the small companion creatures you equip in Chapter 7 Season 3, sitting in their own slot and replacing your Back Bling while granting a passive effect in matches. There are 11 base types spread across rare, epic, legendary, and mythic tiers, and each one also comes in Gold, Gummy, and Galaxy variants with their own much steeper drop rates. The collection across every variant totals 41 Sprites and 205 levels.
Quick answer: The Gold Zero Point Sprite is the rarest pull in the game. Its base form, the Zero Point Sprite, is the rarest of the standard 11 at a 0.00034% drop rate, while Water, Earth, and Fire are the most common at 8.73% each.
All Fortnite Sprites by rarity and drop rate
Every base Sprite belongs to a rarity tier that lines up with its drop chance. Water, Earth, and Fire are the three starter Sprites you choose from when you first log in, which is why they appear at the top of the rare tier. The summon cost is how much Sprite Dust it takes to re-summon one from the Lobby if you lose it.
| Sprite | Rarity | Drop rate | Summon cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Sprite | Rare | 8.73% | 100 |
| Earth Sprite | Rare | 8.73% | 100 |
| Fire Sprite | Rare | 8.73% | 100 |
| Demon Sprite | Epic | 7.54% | 3000 |

Sprite abilities
The Sprite you keep in your dedicated slot is the only one that grants its passive effect. You can carry up to five extra Sprites in your inventory, one per item slot, but those do nothing unless you swap one into the active slot.
| Sprite | Effect |
|---|---|
| Water Sprite | Grants Shield to nearby squadmates while in water. |
| Earth Sprite | Increased chance to find extra rare items in chests. |
| Fire Sprite | Creates a fiery burst after enough damage to an enemy. |
| Duck Sprite | Emoting or Jamming replenishes shields. |
| Demon Sprite | Grants Siphon after eliminating an opponent. |
| Ghost Sprite | Grants Cloak for a short time after reloading. |
| King Sprite | Increased Pickaxe damage. |
Gold, Gummy, and Galaxy variant odds
Each base Sprite has special-tier variants that drop far less often than the standard version. Gummy is the most attainable of the three, Gold is much scarcer, and Galaxy is the hardest to find. A dash means that variant has no listed drop chance this season.
| Sprite | Gold | Gummy | Galaxy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water | 0.69% | 4.16% | 0.28% |
| Earth | 0.69% | 4.16% | 0.28% |
| Fire | 0.69% | 4.16% | 0.28% |
| Duck | 0.09% | 3.27% | 0.03% |
| Ghost | 0.09% | 3.27% | 0.03% |
| King | 0.09% | 3.27% | 0.03% |
| Demon | 0.09% | 3.27% | — |
| Dream | 0.05% | 1.78% | 0.02% |
| Punk | 0.05% | 1.79% | — |
| Zero Point | 0.0000039% | 0.00014% | 0.0000014% |
The rarest Sprite: Gold Zero Point
The Gold Zero Point Sprite sits at the very top of the rarity chart. Its base form is already the scarcest of the standard 11 at 0.00034%, and the Gold variant pushes that further to 0.0000039%, making it the single rarest Sprite to obtain. Most players will go an entire season without seeing one.
It is not just a collectible flex. The Zero Point Sprite is a defensive pick that drops a small shield dome around you to block bullets and explosives for a short window, useful for resetting a fight, reloading safely, or repositioning. The Gold version adds bonus XP from eliminations while equipped. Recreating one from a traded copy can cost around 15,000 Sprite Dust, so it is not something you spend casually.
How to unlock and keep Sprites permanently
Finding a Sprite in a match is temporary. Levels are gained by opening containers, downing and eliminating opponents, assisting, and extracting, but being eliminated or leaving the match resets your equipped Sprite to Level 1 and drops it, along with any others you were carrying. To keep one for good, you have to extract it.
Extracting a Sprite unlocks it permanently and awards Sprite Dust, starting at 500 and scaling with rarity and level. There are three ways to extract:
- Place it in an Extraction Chest found around the map, which holds up to five Sprites.
- Use a Portable Extractor.
- Win a Victory Royale, which extracts your Sprite automatically.
You know the unlock worked when the Sprite appears as owned in the Sprites tab in the Lobby and keeps the levels it earned, ready to re-equip next match. The one exception is the Dream Sprite, which is forcibly extracted and reset to Level 1 once it reaches Level 5.
Note: Sprite Dust spends at Sprite Dust Service Stations near Extraction Site drop zones, where you can buy Rarity Upgrades, a daily Portable Extractor, daily Season XP, and Sprite scanning. Maxing a Sprite to Level 5 also unlocks its edit style for The Guardian skin and marks it as Mastered, with milestone rewards for mastering more of them.
