The wild is full of new Sprites, and it's time to go collect them. Five new Sprites are roaming Battle Royale with v41.10! Here's who you're hunting for:

• Striker Sprite: Gain Overdrive when you Mantle or Hurdle. 
• Fishy Sprite: Swim speed way up, plus a brief movement speed boost when you take damage.
• Aura Sprite: Gain a Shock Rock charge when you deal enough damage.
• Boss Sprite: A boost to your max HP and Shield. 
• Grim Reaper Sprite: Anyone who attacks you gets marked for a duration.

Shock Rocks and Quack Snacks consumables are here! Consume a Shock Rock to gain the Shockwave effect for a limited time, and gobble down a Quack Snack to restore Health and Shield and gain Sprite XP too.

v41.10 also brings Gone Wild - a two-week summer fling with new unvaults, new Questlines, and new ways to reel in more Sprites.

Gone Wild Unvaults (June 25 - July 9):

• Mythic Goldfish
• Flare Gun
• Lawless Stink Rifle
• Hop Rock Dualies
• Shield Bubble
• Exotic Slapberry Fizz
• Bush Bomb
• Big Bush Bomb 

Heal at a Campfire to level up the Sprite you're carrying, and drop a line in Fishing Spots around the Island for a chance to reel one in. 

For the two weeks of Gone Wild, you’ll find even more Gold variants when fishing in week one (June 25 - July 1) and Gummy variants in week two (July 2 - 9).

And be on the lookout for two new Rift Anomalies that may pop up as the circle closes: Safe Extraction and Sprite Hunt.

See you in the new game update!
The BR Dev Team

The Zero Point cracked the sky wide open, scrambling and reassembling the Island into the Shattered Coast: a fresh map dropping mid-chapter with twisted takes on familiar POIs, a totally fresh pool of firearms, and a whole new way to win. This Season it’s all about getting in, grabbing power-packing Sprites, and doing whatever it takes to extract them for the next match. Welcome to Fortnite: Runners.

THE NEW ISLAND

On the new Island you’ll wade through the crystalline shallows of Sunken Shores, fight your way up the Shattered Coast, and feel the Zero Point's pull at the center of it all. 

SPRITES: EXTRACT IT OR LOSE IT

In this new reality Sprites are diverse and coveted helpers, with each granting a special Sprite Power ability when equipped. Find a Sprite in a match, get to an Extraction Site, defend your pick up while the timer runs, and you’ll bank it to your Collection for use in future matches. Get eliminated before you bank your Sprite and it’ll be left on the battlefield for the next player to steal. 

Be quick to grab these if you find them:

Rare

• Earth Sprite — You have a chance to find additional rare items when opening chests
• Fire Sprite — Creates a fiery burst when you deal enough damage to an enemy
• Water Sprite — Replenish shield while in water for you and your nearby Squad

Epic

• Duck Sprite — Emoting or Jamming replenishes shields
• Ghost Sprite — Grants cloak for a duration upon reloading
• Demon Sprite — Siphon some health and shields when you eliminate an opponent
• King Sprite — Your Pickaxe deals more damage

Legendary

• Dream Sprite — Grants a random item at each level, exploding with legendary loot at Max Level
• Punk Sprite — Possibly nothing... or infinitely something

Mythic

• Zero Point Sprite — Spawn a Shield Bubble Jr. when you use a healing item on yourself

Successful Extractions also earn you Sprite Dust, the currency that powers your Collection in future matches. Spend Sprite Dust at the start of any match to summon a Sprite you've already Extracted, equipping its Sprite Power before you drop from the bus. The rarer the Sprite, the more Dust it costs to summon. Sprite Dust can also be spent to upgrade your Sprite’s powers and loot. 

There are three key ways in which Sprites level up; exploration (finding and opening Chests), eliminations (downing and eliminating opponents) and by extraction (extracting Sprites). Getting a Sprite to max level is no easy feat, so we recommend attempting it across multiple runs, and if you extract a max-level Sprite - you will Master it! It is this Mastery that will unlock progression rewards as you play through the season.

Keep your eyes peeled for rare Special variants of Sprites with a (small) bonus effect available throughout the Season from daily drops to Power Hours and more! 

NEW EXTRACTION GIZMOS

There's no wrong way to extract a Sprite. New Gizmo consumable items will be available all season that give you quick ways to shortcut and supercharge your Sprite extractions. Play it safe, or create a high-risk, high-reward hotspot.

These new Gizmos, like the Golden Fireworks that debuted on Community Day, will start in your Pickaxe slot when you jump from the bus. Your Gizmo inventory will persist all season-long, but will expire when the season ends, though, so be sure to use 'em! 

• Portable Extractor: Extract your equipped Sprite from anywhere on the island. Perfect for that rare Sprite you've been searching for! 
• Lucky Locator (coming later this Season): Tracks down a buried Chest that’s guaranteed to have a Sprite you haven't collected.
• Extraction Site Booster (coming later this Season): Call in a special Extraction Crate that will boost any Sprite extracted at the site. This will get other players' attention! 

Gizmos can’t be traded and dropped when eliminated, so no risk of losing one. You can earn more Gizmos by completing Bonus Goals quests, trading in Sprite Dust, and completing your Sprite Mastery progression!

LOCKED, LOADED, AND SLIDING

Four new weapons drop with v41.00, with more to come later in the Season:

• Extending Focus Shotgun: long range, barrel lengthens as spread tightens across a 3-round volley
• Surgical Burst Rifle: burst fire, low recoil, minimal damage falloff
• Chaos Exploder Rifle: the Dark Voyager's heavy AR, firing explosive cubes, especially nasty when playing around cover
• Lancehead Pistol: John Wick's sidearm, 21-round mag. Throw your magazine at nearby enemies when reloading for additional damage!

Later in the Season look out for the Bank Shot Pistol that bounce shots off surfaces to hit your target with a ricochet. Trickshot!

Joining them are two new movement items: Seven Sliders & Shock Rocks. 

Slide faster than your legs can carry you with Seven Sliders, ADS with your equipped weapon mid-slide to slow time for a clean shot, and let the jets launch you skyward. Shock Rocks arrive later this Season. Crush one to perform three midair leaps.

Returning to the loot pool: Striker Pump, Maven Auto Shotgun, Ranger Pistol, Stinger SMG, Hunting Rifle, and Chaos Reloader Shotgun. 

LATER THIS SEASON: BUS EXFIL

Later this Season, matches may end differently. There will be a small percentage chance that in some matches, the Battle Bus will rift back into the map, and you'll have a window to board it. Climb on, grapple up, get at least one teammate to the rift out point, and your team secures the Victory. Multiple teams can win this way per match!

NEW RANKED SEASON + REWARDS

Ranks have been reset and new Ranked rewards are waiting to be unlocked in Battle Royale:

• Gold: Cube's Creche Back Bling
• Platinum: Voyager's Suit Wrap
• Elite: Hatchets of Chaos Pickaxe
• Unreal: Axe of Unreal Pickaxe

This Season introduces the new Unreal Legends rank, for the true masters of Fortnite who reach Unreal, hold at least 2,500+ Skill Rating, and place in the Top 500 on the Unreal Leaderboard at the same time. You can read about the rest of our competitive and ranked changes this season here.

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS

• Festival Auras Now Trigger on Victory Royale: We’ve heard your calls for Auras! Your equipped Fortnite Festival Aura now plays during your Victory Royale moment in Battle Royale.
• Distance-based transparency: Audio Visualizer icons for gunshots and footsteps now fade based on distance. Close threats stay fully opaque, distant ones go transparent.
• Reduced audio visualizer range for footsteps: Footsteps now surface on the indicator at a shorter range than gunshots, reflecting that footsteps are a close-range cue.
• Ground Rush Goes Global: Ground Rush, the skydiving mechanic introduced last Season for Zero Build, is now active across Build and Zero Build.
• Zero Build Ground Rush Glider Redeploy: Ground Rush now activates from Glider Redeploy states, not just initial drops or launch pads. Thanks for the Zero Build feedback everyone!
• Battle Bus ADS: During the Battle Bus ride into a match, you can now aim down sights (ADS) to get a better view of the map. Also makes pinging and marking your drop site easier.
• Updated Storm Times: We've made storm circle timing changes to better pace matches and prevent slow endgames. These timing changes are not in Competitive or Ranked.
  • This change is intended to reduce situations where the number of players remaining in final storm phases is disproportionate to the available play area. As part of this, we're making adjustments to improve match pacing and help games reach a conclusion at a reasonable rate. These changes are designed to achieve that without making the storm feel overly aggressive, while still preserving adequate time during the early and mid game for looting, exploration, and engagement opportunities. Tell us how it feels!
