Fortnite Runners launches right after the climactic Shattered Live Event, and with it players are sent to a revamped island with new locations to explore and a Battle Pass to complete. However, that’s not all, as heaps of new mechanics have been brought into the game. One of the biggest focuses of Season 3 is the return of Sprites, with both old and new critters showing up. Here is every Sprite in Fortnite, what they do, and where to find them.
Updated on July 30, 2026, by Nathan Round: New Sprites are being added every Thursday, with this week bringing the new Sprites for the final update. We have updated this guide to include how to get the Peely Sprite, Llama Sprite, and more.
