Every New Fortnite Sprite Added in the July 30 Update (And How to Actually Track Them Down)

Fortnite's v41.30 patch just dropped over 20 new Sprites into the game, pushing the total collection to 111 and giving you five new abilities worth learning before the season wraps.

A lineup of five Fortnite skins in Fall Guys bean styles, including a crystalline purple monster, a pink-haired anime character, a Loot Llama, Peely, and John Wick.

What Actually Changed

Don't let the number 20 intimidate you. Most of that count is rarity variants (Gold, Galaxy, Gummy, Gem, Holofoil) stacked on top of a much shorter list of genuinely new Sprites. Here's everything that landed in this patch:

  • John Wick Sprite

  • Ironmouse Sprite

  • Gem Grim Sprite

  • Holofoil Grim Sprite

  • Holofoil Zero Point Sprite

  • Cube Zero Point Sprite

  • Llama Sprite (plus Gummy, Galaxy, Gem, and Gold variants)

  • Peely Sprite (plus Gummy, Galaxy, Gold, and Holofoil variants)

  • Quack Water, Quack Earth, Quack Fire, and Quack Zero Point Sprites

Strip out the recolors and you're left with just five new powers to actually learn. That's the part worth your attention, so here's the breakdown on each.

John Wick Sprite: Reload-Only, But Worth the Detour

This one's exclusive to Fortnite Reload, and it's currently the only Sprite that carries over into standard battle royale once you've got it.

You can pull one from Chests, Rare Chests, Sprite Chests, or Relic Chests while playing Reload, snag a Victory Royale with it equipped for an automatic extraction, or take one off someone carrying it through an elimination or a trade. If you're not winning matches outright, you'll need a Reload Portable Extractor Gizmo to pull it out manually, which you can find in chests and floor loot or buy from a Vending Machine for 50 Gold.

The ability itself: knocking someone reveals nearby enemies for a few seconds, with the mark duration scaling up as you level it, from 3 seconds at Level 1 to 5 seconds at Level 5. Practically, that means every knock doubles as a scouting pulse, which makes this a solid pick if you're the type who pushes fights rather than waits them out.

Ironmouse Sprite: Currently Vaulted, Here's the Timeline

Ironmouse got pushed out early by accident and has since been vaulted. If you already extracted one, don't panic, it'll reappear in your collection when the Sprite officially goes live next Thursday, August 6. Trading is also locked until that date.

Once it's back, you'll be able to get it from Relic Chests, Sprite Chests, Chests and Rare Chests, Cluster's Found Quests, the Sprite Locator, or the Lucky Locator, which guarantees a Sprite you don't already own.

As a Mythic, expect it to be scarce. The payoff is worth the hunt though: while your health is low, it regenerates over time and grants Cloak plus low gravity for the duration. Regen scales from 60 health at Level 1 up to 100 at Level 5. That low gravity window is the real value here, since it lets you drift out of someone's line of fire while you're healing instead of just sitting still and hoping. Once it's tradable, that's probably your fastest route to one given how thin the drop rate is likely to be.

Lootin' Llama Sprite: Free Rarity Upgrades on Ammo Boxes

The Llama is a Legendary, so it's uncommon but shows up more often than something like the Grim or Zero Point Sprites. You'll find it in Relic Chests, Sprite Chests, Chests and Rare Chests, Cluster's Found Quests, the Lucky or Sprite Locator Gizmos, or off someone else carrying one.

Its ability gives opening ammo boxes a chance to grant a weapon upgrade, with that chance climbing from 5% at Level 1 to 20% at Level 5. The practical upside: this saves you Sprite Dust you'd otherwise spend bumping weapon rarity manually, so it's worth equipping specifically before you go loot ammo boxes rather than treating it as a passive background pick.

Variants to keep an eye out for: Gold, Galaxy, Gummy, and Gem, with better odds of pulling those if you've got a Holofoil Sprite equipped when you open chests. If you want a map-by-map rundown of where those chests tend to cluster, the Sprite Chest farming routes guide is the one to check.

Peely Sprite: A Scouting Tool That Snitches on You Too

Peely shows up wandering high, mountainous terrain, but it also drops from Relic Chests, Sprite Chests, Chests and Rare Chests, Cluster's Found Quests, the Sprite or Lucky Locator, or off someone else carrying one.

The ability pings nearby holders of rare Sprite variants, which sounds great until you read the fine print: using it also reveals your own position on the map as a red circle, with radius scaling from 40m at Level 1 to 80m at Level 5. It's genuinely useful for tracking down variants you're missing, but it's a two-way street. I'd treat it as a burst tool rather than something you leave running, since broadcasting your location for extended stretches is asking to get third-partied. On the flip side, if you spot a red circle on the map that isn't yours, that's someone else's Peely doing exactly this, and it's your cue to go hunt them down.

Variants here: Gold, Galaxy, Gummy, and Holofoil.

Quack Sprites: The Reward Track Nobody Needs to Loot For

Fortnite Sprites collection menu displaying the Quack Fire Sprite and a grid of various collectible level-based sprites.

Quack Sprites break from every other entry on this list because they don't spawn in the world and they don't drop from chests, full stop. They're earned exclusively through Sprite Mastery Rewards, meaning you level a Sprite to 5 and extract it to count toward the milestone. Here's what unlocks at each tier:

  • Quack Water Sprite: master 35 Sprites

  • Quack Earth Sprite: master 40 Sprites

  • Quack Fire Sprite: master 45 Sprites

  • Quack Zero Point Sprite: master 55 Sprites

The only other way to get one outside of hitting those thresholds is taking it off someone else through an elimination or a trade, and if you lose one you've already unlocked, you can resummon it with Sprite Dust.

Every Quack variant keeps its base ability but adds one shared bonus: 50% of the Sprite XP it earns gets passed on to every other Sprite in your inventory. That makes it less about the individual power and more about efficiency. Slot one in early, forget about it, and let it quietly level the rest of your collection while you focus on whatever fight you're actually in. The Quack Zero Point Sprite is the standout here specifically because Zero Point variants are normally a rare pull, and this one's handed to you for free just for grinding out Mastery.
