How to Get Sprites in Fortnite

The first time you log into Fortnite, you’ll have a choice between the three starter Sprites: Fire, Earth, and Water. The Sprite you choose will be permanently available and resummonable for 100 Sprite Dust in the Sprite Lobby menu. If you don’t extract the Sprite you brought into battle, it will be lost, and you’ll need to resummon it in order to equip it before a battle.
To unlock new Sprites and their variants, you’ll need to find them, pick them up, and then use one of the Extraction Sites highlighted on the map to extract them. Once extracted, the Sprite and the variant will be permanently unlocked in your Sprite lobby menu. You can also extract a Sprite by getting a Victory Royale or by using the Portable Extractor, which you can purchase at the Sprite Dust Service Station next to the Extraction Site for 2,000 Sprite Dust.
Sprite Dust Service Stations
Sprite Dust Service Stations are located close to the Portable Extractor panel and offer a few bonuses you can purchase, including a portable extractor and a scan/location of all nearby Sprites:
- 20,000 XP: 10,000 Sprite Dust (available once per day)
- Portable Extractor: 2,000 Sprite Dust
- Rarity Upgrade: 250 / 500 / 1,000 / 2,000 Sprite Dust
- Locate Sprites: 100 Sprite Dust
How to Level Up Sprites and How Mastery Works in Fortnite

Leveling up Sprites increases their passive bonuses, making them stronger the more you fight and loot. Each Sprite has its own level that you increase as you use them in combat. Extracting with a Sprite preserves its level, while not extracting resets it back to Level 1, forcing you to resummon it and level it up again.
Each Sprite you extract at Level 5 will be considered permanently mastered and unlock a bonus in the Rewards section of the lobby Sprite menu. You unlock 1 bonus level per Sprite mastered. The rewards include XP, cosmetic items, Sprite Dust, Portable Extractors, Sprite Locators, and other useful items.
Fortnite Sprites FAQ
Yes, the Sprites you don’t extract will be reset to Level 1, and you’ll have to level them up again.
Do Sprite buffs stack if multiple squadmates have them?
Yes, Sprite buffs do stack if multiple squadmates have them, making Holofoil and similar variants extremely good if your whole squad has them.
Do extra Sprites you extract stack in your Sprite inventory?
No, the extra Sprites you extract of the same type do not stack in your inventory. Instead, they are converted to Sprite Dust, which you can then use to resummon them in case you don’t extract them.
Where do Sprites and their variations spawn?
Sprites and their variations can spawn anywhere, with certain Sprites having a higher chance of spawning in specific areas. During Power Hours and similar events, Sprites and their variations have an increased chance of spawning.

You can unlock a new Sprite by extracting it via an Extraction Station/Portable Extractor or by having it in your inventory when you get a Victory Royale.
