Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3: 11 New Sprites Explained

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 has added a new batch of “Sprites” for Battle Royale, bringing 11 different effects into the meta—ranging from loot boosts and shield support to mobility perks and even occasional randomized wins like rarer drops or infinite ammo. Below is a clear breakdown of what each Sprite does, including the standout mechanics and the one figure the update explicitly calls out for rarity.

New Sprite roster in Chapter 7 Season 3

These 11 Sprites each provide a specific perk, and the effects can be improved by leveling them. The set includes:

King Sprite (increases pickaxe damage)
Dream Sprite (grants random items at each level; legendary loot at max level)
Fire Sprite (creates fire bursts when you deal enough damage)
Earth Sprite (higher chance of rare loot from chests)
Water Sprite (replenishes shields while in water)
Burnt Peanut Sprite (more loot on eliminations; can sometimes include Mythic loot)
Batman Sprite (deploys the Bat Cape after launching into the air)
Aura Sprite (builds Shock Rock charges when you deal enough damage)
Seven Sprite (shows enemy footprints for tracking)
Punk Sprite (small randomized chance for infinite ammo, additional loot, or shields)
Duck Sprite (replenishes shields when emoting or using Jam Tracks)
Fishy Sprite (increases swim speed; briefly increases movement speed after taking damage)
Grim Sprite (marks your attacker and highlights them for a short duration)
Striker Sprite (grants Overdrive after Mantle, Hurdle, or Wall Scramble)
Pollo Sprite (slow shield replenishment for you and nearby squad members after an elimination)
Zero Point Sprite (spawns Shield Bubble Jr. when you use a healing item on yourself)
Ghost Sprite (temporary invisibility cloak when reloading)
Air Sprite (increases sprinting speed and jump height; nullifies fall damage)
Vini Jr. Sprite (destructive slide during sprint; boosts fire rate and reload speed while sliding)
Demon Sprite (siphons health and shields on elimination)
Boss Sprite (increases max HP and Shield)

The update also notes an additional Sprite-specific claim: the Punk Sprite includes a “0.03% chance (1 in 3,317).”

Most impactful mechanics: combat, survival, and movement

Fight advantage through shields and health

Pollo Sprite: after an elimination, you slowly replenish shields for yourself and nearby squadmates for a duration.
Demon Sprite: on elimination, you siphon health and shields.
Zero Point Sprite: when you use a healing item on yourself, it can spawn Shield Bubble Jr. to protect you while you med up.
Duck Sprite: emoting or using Jam Tracks replenishes shields.
Boss Sprite: increases max HP and Shield; the example given is Level 5 granting 125 HP and 125 Shield versus a baseline of 100/100.

Mobility perks that change how fights play out

Air Sprite: increases sprinting speed and jump height, and it removes fall damage entirely.
Batman Sprite: instead of a Glider redeploy, it launches you higher and deploys the Bat Cape.
Striker Sprite: triggering Mantle, Hurdle, or Wall Scramble grants Overdrive for six seconds, boosting weapon fire rate, reload speed, interactions, movement speed, and weapon swap speed.
Vini Jr. Sprite: sprinting leads to a destructive slide; at Level 5, each slide hit is described as dealing 60 damage, and sliding is also linked to a fire rate and reload speed increase.
Fishy Sprite: increases swim speed significantly; at Level 5 it’s described as a 200% swim speed increase and a 50% movement speed increase after taking damage.

Tracking and stealth options

Seven Sprite: marks enemy locations via visible footprint trails on the ground for 10 seconds (30 seconds at Level 5).
Grim Sprite: highlights your attacker after you’re damaged, keeping them visible for three seconds.
Ghost Sprite: reloading grants an invisibility cloak for a duration.

Loot, randomized power, and specific rarity callouts

Earth Sprite: increases the chance of rare loot when opening chests.
Dream Sprite: grants random items each level, with legendary loot at max level; the material also states that reaching level 5 resets the Dream Sprite back to level 1.
Burnt Peanut Sprite: on eliminations, you may find more loot, and it can sometimes include Mythic loot; the update specifies a 10% chance to find Mythic loot.
Punk Sprite: has a small randomized chance to trigger effects like infinite ammo, additional loot, or shields; the material includes the explicit rarity figure of 0.03% (1 in 3,317).
Fire Sprite: when you deal enough damage, fire bursts at your location.
Aura Sprite: you gain Shock Rock charges after dealing enough damage, which then require a jump input to use.
King Sprite: increases pickaxe damage (with the provided commentary emphasizing that it targets harvesting rather than gunfights).

Where this leaves the meta

With 11 Sprites available in Chapter 7 Season 3, Epic’s new system clearly splits player builds into a few lanes: shield and sustain (Pollo, Demon, Zero Point, Duck, Boss), mobility and engagement tempo (Air, Striker, Vini Jr., Batman, Fishy), and information/stealth (Seven, Grim, Ghost), alongside loot-oriented upgrades (Earth, Burnt Peanut, Dream) and rare randomized swings (Punk).

The material also states that more Sprites are expected in future updates, with examples including a John Wick Sprite and Spider-Man Sprite when they are released—meaning the ranking and best-in-slot choices may shift as new effects arrive.
