Have you noticed the new adorable little creatures floating around Fortnite’s new map? These creatures are called Sprites but they’re more than just cute companions. They’re powerful tools that can give you a serious advantage in matches. If you want to get them and use them as your back bling, we will show you how to get Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 6, plus their types, effects, and locations.
What Are Sprites and How to Get Sprites in Fortnite
Sprites are the new magical little creatures in Fortnite Chapter 6; they have three different types. Each one gives you unique abilities when equipped. You can carry up to three of the same kind, but can’t mix different types in your inventory. Here’s a breakdown of each Sprite type and its effects:
| Sprites | Color | Effect when equipped |
 Air Sprite | White | Creates a wind boost to redeploy your glider and break structures |
 Earth Sprite | Brown | Consumes items and provides better-quality loot in exchange |
 Water Sprite | Blue | Creates a healing fountain that restores health and shields |
Shrine Locations in Fortnite to Find Sprites
Finding Sprites in the new map isn’t too hard if you know where to look. What we have noticed is that they usually show up in forested spots away from the main POIs, near Sprite Shrines, around natural landmarks, or in quieter parts of the map.
The easiest way to find Sprites is by heading to Sprite Shrines. These shrines shoot bright beams of light into the sky, so they’re easy to spot from far away. They’re also super helpful because they offer a bunch of benefits:
- Sprite Detection: Interact with a shrine to see all nearby Sprites on your screen.
- Sprite Returns: Bring a Sprite to a shrine to get rewards like:
- A guaranteed Boon (a permanent buff for the match)
- A random Epic weapon
- Two new Sprites to collect
Boon Effects from Sprite Returns
When you return a Sprite to a shrine, you’ll receive one of these powerful Boons:
| Boon | Effect |
| Fire Boon | Faster weapon reload speed |
| Void Boon | Reveals nearby enemies after you eliminate an opponent |
| Water Boon | Health and Shield regeneration for you and nearby teammates while swimming |
| Wind Boon | Increased movement speed with pickaxe |
When it comes to using Sprites, we have picked up a few tips that help. First off, always grab them when you see them since they don’t take up weapon slots. Water Sprites are a lifesaver during or after fights because they help you heal fast. Visiting Sprite Shrines early in the match is a smart move because you can get powerful Boons that boost your gameplay
Sprites bring a fresh tactical twist to Fortnite Chapter 6. Whether using them to heal, move around quickly, or score better loot, learning how to use these magical creatures can give you more edge in your matches. Try them out in your next game and see how they can level up your strategy!
