Fortnite Bounty Hunter Sprites Guide: All Variants & How to Get Them

Bounty Hunter Sprites are one of the more interesting additions to Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Override, and not just because of the purple glow. These variants actually change how you play by rewarding aggressive, combat-focused runs with a chance to collect Sprites directly from eliminations. There are 20 of them total, each tied to a specific base Sprite, and completing the full set is a genuine challenge. Here's everything you need to know.

What do Bounty Hunter Sprites do in Fortnite?

Bounty Hunter Sprites keep whatever ability their base Sprite has, but they add one extra mechanic on top: a 7% chance to drop a Sprite when you eliminate an opponent. That's a meaningful bonus for players who rack up kills, turning every fight into a potential collection opportunity.

The trade-off is how they level up. Unlike every other Sprite in the game, Bounty Hunter Sprites only gain XP from eliminations. They do receive 2.5x the normal Sprite XP per kill to compensate, so aggressive players will actually progress faster than they might expect. The two exceptions are the Bounty Hunter Klombo and Bounty Hunter Crown variants, which follow their own special XP rules tied to their base Sprite mechanics.

How to get Bounty Hunter Sprites in Fortnite

Bounty Hunter Sprites share the same acquisition methods as every other Sprite variant in Override, but the priority order matters.

• Legendary Cheat Codes give you the highest chance of landing a Bounty Hunter variant
• Epic Cheat Codes are the next best option
• Rare Cheat Codes and standard Chests can drop them, though rarer variants are unlikely this way
• Eliminations have a direct 7% drop chance for any Sprite while a Bounty Hunter is equipped
• Temple Vault Rare Chests are worth looting since they also contain Legendary Cheat Codes
• Trading with other players is a fallback if you're missing a specific variant

Fortnite Bounty Hunter Sprites Guide: All Variants & How to Get Them

For players trying to complete the full collection faster, attending Sprite Events during boosted spawn rate windows is worth planning around. Cheat Code Locators also help you track down the highest-tier codes on the map.

The Bounty Hunter Crown variant works differently from the rest. You unlock it by winning a match with the Loot Hacker King Sprite equipped, not through standard drops. Check out the Fortnite Loot Hacker Sprites guide for the full breakdown on that chain.

All 20 Bounty Hunter Sprites and where to find them

Each Bounty Hunter Sprite has a preferred location on the Chapter 7 Season 4 map where Cheat Codes and Rare Chests are more likely to produce that specific variant.

Sonic, Tails, and Shadow all cluster around Green Hill Zone, so landing there during a Legendary Cheat Code rotation is efficient if you're targeting that trio. The Bounty Hunter Klombo is considered one of the harder variants to obtain, so prioritize Mega Maze runs and Legendary codes when going after it.

What's the fastest way to level up Bounty Hunter Sprites?

Because Bounty Hunter Sprites only level up through eliminations, your standard extraction-focused playstyle won't move the needle. The 2.5x XP multiplier on kills does help, but you need to actually be getting those kills consistently.

Landing in high-traffic areas like Golden Grove or Geno's Machine serves double duty: those zones have Cheat Codes for finding new variants and enough player density to stack eliminations for XP. Running a Bounty Hunter Sprite during Sprite Events is especially efficient since you can farm both new drops and leveling XP in the same session.

For the Klombo and Crown variants specifically, their XP rules fall outside the standard elimination system. The Crown variant in particular requires winning matches, which means it progresses at a completely different pace from the rest of the set.

If you want a broader look at how Sprites work across the season, the Fortnite guides collection has deep coverage on every variant type, including the Rift Anomaly system that can guarantee rarer drops. The Fortnite Sprite Hunt Rift Anomaly guide is worth reading if you want to maximize your chances at the harder-to-find Bounty Hunter variants.
