The Storm Scout Sprite is one of the newest Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Override because it turns one of the game's biggest threats into a personal advantage. Getting caught in the storm is usually bad news but with this Sprite equipped it becomes a trigger for one of the most powerful movement buffs in the game. Here is everything you need to know about getting Storm Scout Sprite in Fortnite.

What Does the Storm Scout Sprite Do

The Storm Scout Sprite has two core functions that make it genuinely useful rather than just a collectible.

  • Overdrive Effect is the primary ability. When you take 10 points of storm damage, the Sprite activates automatically giving you unlimited stamina and a suite of movement buffs, including faster speed and higher jumps for a window of time that scales with the Sprite's level. It essentially turns getting caught out by the storm into a temporary power-up rather than a straight punishment.
  • Circle Forecasting is the secondary ability that unlocks at max level. At Level 5 the Storm Scout Sprite lets you see future storm circles before they are revealed to other players giving you a significant positioning advantage in the late game.

Here is how the duration scales across all five levels:

Level 112 Seconds
Level 214 Seconds
Level 316 Seconds
Level 418 Seconds
Level 520 Seconds + Reveals Future Storm Circles

There are four confirmed ways to get the Storm Scout Sprite in Chapter 7 Season 4:

  • Cheat Code Inputters are the most active method.
  • Chests are the most passive method. The Storm Scout Sprite can appear as loot inside standard chests and higher tier chests across the map.
  • Eliminating Other Players is the third method. If another player is carrying a Storm Scout Sprite and you eliminate them it drops and becomes yours to pick up. Keep an eye out during fights for players who appear to have movement advantages in or near the storm as they may be running one.
  • Trading with Other Players is the fourth method. This is obviously the most situational method but worth keeping in mind if you are struggling to find one through the other routes.
