Fortnite Sprite variants explained
Sprites come in several styles, and the style is not just a recolour — most carry a bonus that stacks on top of the Sprite's own ability. Here is what each one does, and how many Sprites currently have it.
How do you get a variant?
You do not unlock a variant separately. Each one is found in the world exactly like the Base version — spot it in a chest, pick it up, and extract with it to add that specific variant to your collection permanently. A Gold Water Sprite and a Base Water Sprite are two separate finds, and owning one does nothing for the other. That is why a full collection is counted in variants rather than Sprites.
Base
52/52 Sprites have it Cosmetic only — keeps the Base ability
The standard version of the Sprite, and the one almost everyone finds first. Every Sprite in the game has a Base style, so this is the variant that decides whether a Sprite counts as "collected" at all.
Sprites with this style: Water, Earth, Fire, Fishy, Duck, Ghost, King, Demon, Aura, Striker, Dream, Punk, Boss, Zero Point, Grim, Air, Seven, Batman, Lootin' Llama, Peeky Peely, Burnt Peanut, Pollo, Vini Jr., John Wick, Ironmouse, Jonesy, Adventure, Bush, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, 8-Bit, Jackrabbit, Crown, Killswitch, Klombo, Mega Man, Overshield, Pond, X-Ray, Onigiri, Storm Scout, Blinky, Crash Bandicoot, Morgana, Birthday, Spooky Dash, Vampire, The Deer, Dumpster Dive, Honey, One Wish Willow
Gold
46/52 Sprites have it 3× elimination Sprite XP
A gold-plated recolour that keeps the Sprite's Base ability and stacks an XP bonus on top. Gold is the most common of the rare styles, which makes it the usual first upgrade in a collection.
Sprites with this style: Water, Earth, Fire, Fishy, Duck, Ghost, King, Demon, Aura, Striker, Dream, Punk, Boss, Zero Point, Grim, Air, Seven, Batman, Lootin' Llama, Peeky Peely, Jonesy, Adventure, Bush, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, 8-Bit, Jackrabbit, Crown, Killswitch, Klombo, Overshield, Pond, X-Ray, Onigiri, Storm Scout, Blinky, Crash Bandicoot, Morgana, Birthday, Spooky Dash, Vampire, The Deer, Dumpster Dive, Honey, One Wish Willow
Gummy
20/52 Sprites have it Bonus Sprite Dust on extraction
A translucent, candy-coloured finish. The Gummy bonus is economic rather than combat-facing: it pays out in Sprite Dust every time you extract, so it compounds across a session instead of spiking in one fight.
Sprites with this style: Water, Earth, Fire, Fishy, Duck, Ghost, King, Demon, Aura, Striker, Dream, Punk, Boss, Zero Point, Grim, Air, Seven, Batman, Lootin' Llama, Peeky Peely
Galaxy
20/52 Sprites have it +30% ammo from containers
A starfield finish and one of the hardest pulls in the game. The ammo bonus is the reason Galaxy is chased by players who never touch a checklist — it changes how long you can hold a fight.
Sprites with this style: Water, Earth, Fire, Fishy, Duck, Ghost, King, Demon, Aura, Striker, Dream, Punk, Boss, Zero Point, Grim, Air, Seven, Batman, Lootin' Llama, Peeky Peely
Holofoil
11/52 Sprites have it Boosts squad's rare-variant luck
An iridescent trading-card finish added partway through the season, so it exists for far fewer Sprites than Gold or Gummy. Its bonus is squad-wide and self-referential: it improves the odds that your whole squad finds other rare variants.
Sprites with this style: Water, Fire, Ghost, King, Striker, Zero Point, Grim, Air, Seven, Batman, Peeky Peely
Gem
8/52 Sprites have it 30% less fall damage
A faceted, crystalline finish, and the thinnest style in the catalogue — check the variant list on a Sprite's own page to see whether it has one yet.
Sprites with this style: Water, Earth, Duck, Demon, Aura, Zero Point, Grim, Lootin' Llama
Cube
9/52 Sprites have it Overdrive speed boost while in the Storm
A corrupted, purple-glowing restyle. Cube keeps the Sprite's Base ability and adds a Storm bonus on top: while you are in the Storm it grants Overdrive, the movement boost that speeds you up and gives unlimited stamina. It exists for only a handful of Sprites, which is exactly why completionists hunt it.
Sprites with this style: Earth, Fire, Fishy, Dream, Punk, Boss, Zero Point, Grim, Batman
Cheat Master
26/52 Sprites have it Cheat Codes accept any input
A glitched, acid-green restyle that arrived with Chapter 7 Season 4: Override. Cheat Master was the first new Sprite style since Quack, and it exists only for Season 4 Sprites — no Chapter 7 Season 3 species has one, which keeps a full Cheat Master set among the shortest complete style runs in the game.
Sprites with this style: Jonesy, Adventure, Bush, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, 8-Bit, Jackrabbit, Crown, Killswitch, Klombo, Overshield, Pond, X-Ray, Onigiri, Storm Scout, Blinky, Crash Bandicoot, Morgana, Birthday, Spooky Dash, Vampire, The Deer, Dumpster Dive, Honey, One Wish Willow
Loot Hacker
26/52 Sprites have it Better odds of your Loot Hack items dropping
A digitised restyle that arrived with v42.10 on 3 September 2026: the Sprite rendered as a glitching blue wireframe, shot through with magenta scan lines. Loot Hacker is the widest style Chapter 7 Season 4 has — fifteen Sprites have one, more than Cheat Master, and like Cheat Master it exists for no Chapter 7 Season 3 species at all.
Sprites with this style: Jonesy, Adventure, Bush, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, 8-Bit, Jackrabbit, Crown, Killswitch, Klombo, Overshield, Pond, X-Ray, Onigiri, Storm Scout, Blinky, Crash Bandicoot, Morgana, Birthday, Spooky Dash, Vampire, The Deer, Dumpster Dive, Honey, One Wish Willow
Bounty Hunter
26/52 Sprites have it Appears from eliminations; levels up only from them
A combat restyle that arrived with v42.20 on 24 September 2026, and the only style you cannot find in a chest or a Cheat Code: a Bounty Hunter Sprite has a chance to appear when you eliminate an opponent, and it levels up from eliminations and nothing else. That makes it the one style whose progress is gated on how you play rather than on how much you open, and it exists for no Chapter 7 Season 3 species at all.
Sprites with this style: Jonesy, Adventure, Bush, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, 8-Bit, Jackrabbit, Crown, Killswitch, Klombo, Overshield, Pond, X-Ray, Onigiri, Storm Scout, Blinky, Crash Bandicoot, Morgana, Birthday, Spooky Dash, Vampire, The Deer, Dumpster Dive, Honey, One Wish Willow
Trick or Treat
26/52 Sprites have it Cosmetic only — keeps the Base ability
A Halloween restyle that arrived with Fortnitemares 2026 (v42.30): the Sprite repainted in candy-corn colours, red melting into orange and yellow. Crown was the first Sprite to get one, on 1 October 2026, and 23 more followed on 8 October, every Chapter 7 Season 4 Sprite except Mega Man.
Sprites with this style: Jonesy, Adventure, Bush, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, 8-Bit, Jackrabbit, Crown, Killswitch, Klombo, Overshield, Pond, X-Ray, Onigiri, Storm Scout, Blinky, Crash Bandicoot, Morgana, Birthday, Spooky Dash, Vampire, The Deer, Dumpster Dive, Honey, One Wish Willow
Quack
9/52 Sprites have it Shares 50% of its XP with your other Sprites
A duck-themed crystal restyle, and the only style you cannot find in a chest: each one is a Sprite Mastery reward, so it is earned by collecting rather than by luck. Its bonus feeds the same loop — half of everything it earns is passed to the rest of your Sprites.
Sprites with this style: Water, Earth, Fire, Zero Point, Jonesy, Adventure, Bush, Klombo, Spooky Dash
