Fortune Sprites make chest hunting easier in Fortnite: each keeps its base Sprite ability and adds the power to reveal nearby chests. Your most direct starting point is a Wanted Poster, which leads you to a buried Sprite Chest through a treasure map. Finding a Fortune style still takes luck, and you must extract with it to keep that exact variant permanently. There are 10 obtainable Fortune Sprites as of November 2, 2026, with Fortune Lil' Uzi Vert Jr. still unavailable. Below, you'll find the acquisition route, every variant's ability, and the strongest picks for different goals.
How do you find Fortune Sprites in Fortnite?
Fortune Sprites have no fixed spawn points. Build your search around Wanted Posters and Sprite Chests, rather than repeatedly visiting one location expecting a guaranteed variant. Posters appear around points of interest and provide a direct route to a chest containing a Sprite.
Follow the Wanted Poster route
- Find a Wanted Poster on a wall.
- Tear it down to obtain a Sprite Treasure Map.
- Follow the map to its buried Sprite Chest.
- Dig up the chest with your Pickaxe, then open it.
A buried Sprite Chest always contains a Sprite, but its style is random. That makes Wanted Posters useful for repeated collection attempts, even when an individual chest gives you something other than Fortune.
Which other acquisition methods should you check?
Wanted Posters aren't your only option. Regular chests can contain Sprites at a low rate, and eliminated opponents can drop a Fortune Sprite they were carrying.
| Acquisition method | What you need to do | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Wanted Poster treasure hunt | Obtain the map, excavate its Sprite Chest, and open it | The Sprite's style is random |
| Sprite Chest search | Find and search Sprite Chests during your loot route | A Fortune result isn't guaranteed |
| Regular chest search | Open chests while gathering your normal loot | Sprites appear at a low rate |
| Opponent elimination | Eliminate a player carrying a Fortune Sprite | The opponent must already have one |
Excavate buried Sprite Chests
How do you keep a Fortune Sprite permanently?
Finding a Fortune Sprite and adding it permanently to your collection are separate steps. Pick it up, then extract with it to retain that exact variant. A Fortune find matters only if you finish the collection process.
This distinction matters when tracking duplicates. A Sprite you already own in its base form can still be a new collection entry when you find its Fortune style.
For the underlying roster and its powers, use the Treasure Hunters Sprite abilities guide to compare base Sprites before deciding which Fortune variants to pursue.
Which Fortune Sprite variants are available?
Fortune styles arrived with Treasure Hunters in v43.00 on November 1, 2026. As of November 2, 10 are obtainable. Every live variant below adds nearby chest detection to its base ability.
| Fortune Sprite | Base ability retained by the Fortune variant |
|---|---|
| Halfpeel'd | Marks eliminations on the map |
| Re-Pete | Speeds up reloads and provides a chance to refund ammo |
| Barry O'Fish | Reduces sprint stamina use in water and grants Slap at max level |
| Chester | Provides a chance for extra chest loot and prevents fall damage |
| Exmarks | Reveals Wanted Posters and Treasure Maps, then spawns a Treasure Map at max level |
| Wayfinder | Reveals nearby Sprites and provides extra loot from Buried Chests |
| Kelper | Restores health over time while in water |
| Lil' Squibbly | Provides bonus loot from fishing holes you jump into |
| Lil' Flacko | Creates a shockwave on landing that knocks back opponents |
| Plundarrgh | Increases Pickaxe and movement speed when opening chests |
Sweet Dreams and Transponder Snail have no Fortune version this season. Keep those base-only Sprites separate when checking which Fortune styles you're missing.
What does the Fortune bonus reveal?
The Fortune bonus reveals nearby chests, including hidden chests and Sprite Chests. It works alongside the Sprite's original ability, so Fortune Re-Pete still helps with reloads, while Fortune Kelper still heals you over time in water.
That extra information is useful when hunting the Pirate Shop Access Token. Revealing chests makes them easier to locate and search, giving you more opportunities to find loot while working toward the token.
Chester, Wayfinder, and Plundarrgh are particularly good fits for chest-focused play because their base powers already reward searching or finding loot. Fortune adds another practical reason to use them during a treasure hunt.
Which Fortune Sprites should you hunt first?
All Fortune variants provide chest detection, so choose your target around the base ability you want alongside it. Exmarks and Wayfinder help with finding things; Chester and Plundarrgh reward opening the chests you discover.
Prioritize Exmarks or Wayfinder for collection hunting
Fortune Exmarks reveals Wanted Posters and Treasure Maps as well as nearby chests. At max level, its base power also spawns a Treasure Map. Those abilities make it a strong target when your main objective is finding more Sprite Chests.
Fortune Wayfinder reveals nearby Sprites and provides extra loot from Buried Chests. Its Fortune bonus adds chest detection to that search-focused toolkit, making it another useful choice for collection runs.
Choose Chester or Plundarrgh for chest-heavy looting
Fortune Chester pairs chest detection with a chance at extra chest loot. Its fall-damage protection adds value beyond the treasure hunt, making it a practical target if you want both looting benefits and that protection.
Fortune Plundarrgh increases movement and Pickaxe speed when you open chests. The Fortune bonus helps you locate the same containers that trigger its base power, giving its two benefits a direct connection.
Fortune is one of several collectible Sprite styles. If you're working on another collection alongside it, the Gem Sprite variants and locations guide covers that separate hunt.
How do you level Fortune Sprites faster?
Fortune variants level through the same activities used for regular Treasure Hunters Sprites. Keep these actions in your routine while working on a variant:
- Search containers, including chests, ammo boxes, barrels, and produce boxes.
- Search Sprite Chests.
- Eliminate opponents.
- Extract with Sprites.
Container searches are especially convenient for a Fortune hunt because nearby chest detection helps you locate one of the container types that contributes to leveling. Keep opening the chests you reveal instead of treating the Sprite as a collection pickup alone.
Use Mastery Monday for the larger XP return
Mastery Monday begins every Monday at 9 AM ET (6 AM PT), with 2x Sprite XP and 2x Sprite Dust for the day. November 2, 2026, is the first Mastery Monday of Treasure Hunters, making it a useful session for progressing newly collected Fortune variants.
The reworked Mastery track sits under the Treasure tab, and a new page unlocks weekly. Mastering 40 Sprites unlocks the Navigator's Nosedive Umbrella. Fortune variants give you additional styles to progress toward that milestone.
Start your next Fortune hunt with Wanted Posters, search the buried Sprite Chests they lead to, and extract with any new style you find. For more Treasure Hunters help between collection runs, browse the Fortnite strategy guide collection.
