The Vampire Sprite is a Legendary Sprite that arrived with the Fortnitemares event in Fortnite. This Sprite is not only scary visually, but its effect is also very useful because it gives you a lifesteal ability. This guide explains how to get the Vampire Sprite in Fortnite.
What Is the Vampire Sprite in Fortnite
The Vampire Sprite is a Legendary rarity Sprite built around dealing damage. Its ability is basically a lifesteal, which lets you recover health whenever you hit an enemy, and the amount you heal back grows each time the Sprite levels up.Â
The Vampire Sprite gains strength simply by dealing damage. So, the more you fight and land hits, the faster it levels up, and each level boosts how much health you recover per hit.

How to Get the Vampire Sprite in Fortnite
The main way to find the Vampire Sprite is by opening Pumpkin Chests, which have replaced regular chests as the season's loot source. Keep an eye out for these as you drop into matches.
You can still track one down through Cheat Codes too, though they've had a seasonal makeover into Trick or Treat Cheats. They function the same as before, but entering one now gives you a shot at a bonus treat alongside whatever Sprite you find. On top of that, Cheat Codes can now be heard from a greater distance this patch, making them a bit easier to locate.
There is also another way to get this Sprite, although it isn't completely reliable. You can destroy the giant pumpkins that randomly appear at different POIs across Fortnitemares. There is a chance that a Vampire Sprite will pop out when you break one.
