Fortnite Runners launches right after the climactic Shattered Live Event, and with it players are sent to a revamped island with new locations to explore and a Battle Pass to complete. However, that's not all, as heaps of new mechanics have been brought into the game. One of the biggest focuses of Season 3 is the return of Sprites, with both old and new critters showing up. Here is every Sprite in Fortnite, what they do, and where to find them.

- Found walking around the world at random locations
- By chance upon opening Chests or guaranteed in Sprite Chests (found in POIs and in Vaults)
- Found near Extraction Sites
- Summoned via the Sprite Collection Tab before you go into a match with Sprite Dust (either in the main lobby or at the end screen of a match)
