What do Sprite Chests look like in Fortnite?

Sprite Chests are dark grey, heavy-looking metal chests with some dark pink gem accents and an overall blue glow to them. They look vastly different from all other loot containers you can open around the island, so once you know what you’re looking for, distinguishing them is quite easy. Every Sprite Chest you open is guaranteed to contain at least one Sprite.

What Does the Zero Point Sprite Do in Fortnite Runners?

The Zero Point Sprite has the ability to, when equipped, spawn a Shield Bubble Jr. when the player is healing. Be it a Chug Jug, Shield Potion, or a Med Kit, a Shield Bubble is automatically deployed as you are consuming the item, a must when it comes to Zero Build. While that's the only in-game effect it has (unless you find a different variant like a Candy or Galaxy Sprite), getting the Zero Point Sprite in your Collection for the first time also unlocks it as a Pilot for the Guardian Battle Pass Skin. If you happen to lose your Zero Point Sprite while it's in your Collection, don't worry. Y

What is the Rarest Sprite in Fortnite?

Currently, the rarest sprites in Fortnite are the Gold Zero Point and the Burnt Peanut. According to Tofu Chris (@EpicTofuChris on X), a senior director of Fortnite, only ONE player in the entire world currently has a Gold Zero Point. As for the Burnt Peanut, the data values don't make it seem like he's too rare, but not a single player has managed to find him. We can only assume "Relic Chests" are not active in-game yet, which is why he is so rare. Looking for more information and guides on Sprites?

What Do Gold Sprites Do in Fortnite?

Gold Sprites grant bonus XP from eliminations! This effect pairs with a Victory Royale Crown, so you could get over 1,600 XP for every elimination, which makes a Gold Sprite great for elimination-hungry players who want to level up the Battle Pass fast! Gold Sprites will have the bonus XP effect, but they will also have the standard effect of their Sprite type. For instance, a Gold Demon Sprite will grant bonus XP, but will also have the normal Demon Sprite effect of siphoning health and shields with eliminations.
