Fortnite Treasure Hunters has 11 launch Sprites, according to Epic’s November 1 season post, and three variant types layered on top: Fortune (live since launch), Cursed (live since November 8) and Gold (due November 22). Update 43.10 then added the Transponder Snail Sprite and four more on the way. This page lists every Treasure Hunters Sprite with its power, how to get it and where Fortune versions were reported to spawn. It sticks to what Epic has released and published: no leaks.

All Treasure Hunters Sprites and what they do
The powers below are Epic’s own one-line descriptions from the season launch post, reworded. Like earlier seasons, each Sprite can be levelled up, and Epic says the Halfpeel’d detection range grows with each level and Kelper heals more at each level.
| Sprite | Power (per Epic) |
|---|---|
| Halfpeel’d | Marks eliminations on the map; detection range grows with level |
| Re-Pete | Faster reloads, with a chance to refund ammo |
| Barry O’Fish | Uses less stamina when sprinting in water; adds a Slap effect at max level |
| Exmarks | Reveals nearby Treasure Maps and Wanted Posters; spawns a Treasure Map at max level |
| Plundarrgh | Opening Chests raises Pickaxe and movement speed |
| Chester | May spawn extra loot from Chests; cancels fall damage |
| Wayfinder | Reveals nearby Sprites; spawns extra loot from Buried Chests |
| Kelper | Restores health over time while you are in water; bigger heals at each level |
| Lil’ Squibbly | Jump into fishing holes to catch fish and score bonus loot |
| Lil’ Flacko | Small shockwave on landing that knocks opponents back |
| Sweet Dreams | Grants a random item at each level-up, with Mythic loot at max level; Epic calls it a distant cousin of Dream Sprite |
One mismatch to know about: Beebom’s Fortune Sprite guide lists Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. as an eleventh Fortune Sprite instead of Sweet Dreams, and places it at Fortune’s Fort. Epic’s launch list does not include a Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. Sprite, though its November 8 week was described as bringing “strange new Sprites”. We treat Epic’s 11 as the launch set and Uzi Jr. as a Beebom-reported extra until Epic’s notes name it.
How to get Sprites in Treasure Hunters
Wanted Posters and Sprite Chests
Epic describes the route this way: spot a Wanted Poster on a wall and tear it down, and it turns into a Sprite Treasure Map that leads you to a buried Sprite Chest. Beebom adds that eliminating opponents who carry Sprites and opening rare and Sprite Chests also work, and that containers, extracted Sprite Chests and eliminations all level a Sprite up. Our vault locations guide covers the high-end loot rooms that Beebom recommends for better odds.
Lil’ Flacko from the first Captain’s Day boss
Lil’ Flacko comes from the boss. On Captain’s Day, A$AP Rocky is the island’s first boss on The $.$. Rocky, and Epic says beating him can drop his Shock Rocket along with the Lil’ Flacko Sprite. Our bosses and Mythics guide has the boss list.
Sprite Mastery and Sprite Dust
Epic’s Sprite Mastery track is back: mastering Sprites earns Lucky Locators, Golden Fireworks and other Gizmos, with a new page unlocking every week under the Treasure tab in the lobby. The Sprite Mastery Strongbox Back Bling upgrades as you progress, and mastering 40 Sprites earns the Navigator’s Nosedive Umbrella. Sprite Dust, the currency that levels Sprites, is explained in our Sprite Dust guide. Two quality-of-life changes also help collectors: this season’s Sprites show in numbered order on the Sprites screen, and each one shows a Sprite Stamp that says how you acquired it.

Sprite variants: Fortune, Cursed and Gold
| Variant | Effect (per Epic) | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Fortune | Reveals nearby Chests | Live since November 1 |
| Cursed | Raises your chance of finding rare Sprite variants, but water damages you | Live since November 8 |
| Gold | Bonus XP from eliminating opponents | November 22 |
According to Beebom, Fortune Sprites are rare, with a spawn chance between 0.3% and 0.005% depending on the Sprite, and Mastery Monday boosts them: they spawn more often, give more Sprite Dust and level faster. Beebom adds that since update 43.10 Cursed Sprites show a visual effect while the curse is active, so you can tell when you are taking water damage.
Where Fortune Sprites were reported to spawn
Beebom’s November 2 guide named one location per Fortune Sprite. Treat it as launch-week information: update 43.10 replaced Loot Lagoon with Buggy’s Beachhead and Rubber Resort with Friendship Villa, and we have not seen the Fortune spawns re-checked since.
| Fortune Sprite | Location named by Beebom |
|---|---|
| Halfpeel’d | Plunder Port |
| Re-Pete | Arlong Park |
| Barry O’Fish | Rubber Resort (now Friendship Villa) |
| Chester | Loot Lagoon (now Buggy’s Beachhead) |
| Exmarks | Windmill Village |
| Wayfinder | The Chest |
| Kelper | Loguetown |
| Lil’ Squibbly | Busy Bay |
| Lil’ Flacko | The $.$. Rocky |
| Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. | Fortune’s Fort |
| Plundarrgh | Cursed Cavern |
New Sprites from update 43.10
Update 43.10 went live on November 12. Epic’s in-game News tile for it says defeating the Buggy boss earns the Transponder Snail Sprite. Beebom’s patch notes breakdown lists the rest:
| Sprite | Power (per Beebom) | When |
|---|---|---|
| Transponder Snail | Not described in Epic’s tile | Defeat the Buggy boss (live) |
| Mini Miku | Friendship Bubble when you emote with other players | November 15 |
| Squiplash | Healing Smoke Bomb at low health | November 15 |
| Zee | Regenerating Zero Point dash charges | November 15 |
| Sir Oscar the Second | More Pickaxe damage; brief speed boost when your Shield breaks | “Week 3” per Beebom |
Beebom’s “Week 3” for Sir Oscar does not match Epic’s weekly schedule, which has Oscar arriving as a Captain in Week 4 on November 22. We list his Sprite as unconfirmed until Epic says. The full patch breakdown is in our Fortnite 43.10 patch notes post, and the Miku and Teto Captain details are in the Kasane Teto guide.
Which Sprites to chase first
These picks are our reading of Epic’s power descriptions, not tested results.
- Hunting a Pirate Shop Token: Beebom says Fortune Sprites are the best aid because they reveal Chests. Exmarks (Treasure Maps and Wanted Posters) and Wayfinder (Sprites and Buried Chest loot) fit the same plan. The odds are tiny either way, as our Pirate Token drop rate post shows.
- Fighting more than looting: Re-Pete (reloads and ammo refunds) and Halfpeel’d (elimination markers) are the two combat-leaning powers in the launch list.
- Moving around the island: Plundarrgh (speed after opening Chests), Chester (no fall damage) and Kelper (healing in water) suit a route that follows the coast.
- Filling the collection: hunt on Mastery Monday, then watch the weekly Sprite Mastery page. Our Treasure Hours and Mastery Monday page has the schedule.
