The Burnt Peanut is perhaps the most surprising addition to Fortnite Runners, and is secretly part of the Battle Pass, which you might not have even known about due to the rarity of how you can get him in the first place. The Burnt Peanut isn’t unlocked via quests or purchased from the Item Shop.
Instead, you can get the Burnt Peanut by finding his Sprite in Battle Royale. However, this isn’t a simple task, and the odds need to be extremely in your favor for this to actually happen, and we’ll share exactly how you can get the Burnt Peanut (and how rare it is to get him) here.

All Sprites in Fortnite Runners (& Where to Find Them)
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 Runners.
How to Get the Burnt Peanut in Fortnite
There is a 1.5% (1 in 67) chance that you will get the Burnt Peanut Sprite when opening Chests, Rare Chests, and Sprite Chests. That means, as of the release day for Fortnite Runners, you will have to enter Battle Royale and spam every Chest you see in the hopes that luck is on your side.
This information comes from a reliable Fortnite leaker, Leaky (@itsmeleaky), on X, which also proves that TheBurntPeanut Sprite is in-game, but extremely rare.
If RNG is on your side, and you manage to get the Burnt Peanut Sprite, then you’ll immediately want to head to an Extraction Site on the map, as you will need to extract the Burnt Peanut Sprite before you are eliminated, or someone else can steal it and extract it.
When you manage to extract the Burnt Peanut Sprite, you can safely return to the lobby, as it will now be in your collection. After visiting the “Passes” tab, you’ll be alerted to a new unlock for The Guardian, an Outfit in your Locker that you can edit with E/Square/X to equip the Burnt Peanut pilot.
We expect the rarity values to increase as the season progresses, so if you really want TheBurntPeanut, then you might just have to wait for these values to increase, as only a handful of players out of millions have this Sprite.
