The new Fortnite sprites appear to be found through a mix of natural spawns, chests, bosses, and special map locations, depending on the sprite type.

Where to look

  • Around the map naturally: some sprites spawn just by exploring, and can also show up in chests.
  • Sprite shrines: one guide says shrines are marked on the map and can be scanned with sprite dust to reveal nearby sprites.
  • Boss fights: the boss sprite appears to come from defeating bosses around the map, with no guaranteed drop.
  • Special POIs / challenges: the striker sprite is tied to a new soccer POI where you score a goal to unlock it.
  • Secret vaults / sprite chests: one guide mentions vaults with sprite chests that guarantee a sprite inside.

Fastest approach

A practical route is to land at the new POI first, check nearby chests, then sweep any shrine or vault areas before rotating toward boss fights. If you are hunting multiple sprites, keep an eye on elimination drops too, since players may carry sprites you still need.

What seems confirmed

Recent guides mention several named sprites, including Striker , Fishy , Aura , Boss , and Grim Reaper , with different spawn methods. One source also says a new update added multiple sprites and that not all of them are available immediately.

TL;DR

If you want the shortest answer: check chests, shrines, bosses, and the new soccer POI , then use sprite dust to scan nearby areas.
