Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Sprites: All Sprites, Abilities, and Drop Rates

Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4: Override are a brand new generation of collectible companions, each granting a passive ability for the whole match. Sixteen are now obtainable after the September 3 update, which added X-Ray, Onigiri, Overshield, and Mega Man. Sonic and Shadow are the strongest all-round picks, Jackrabbit is the best movement Sprite, X-Ray is the season's second Legendary, and Klombo and Crown are the two Mythics. Sprite Chests are gone: you now open Cheat Code Chests by entering a directional code.

This guide covers all sixteen Sprites with their real abilities and rarities, including Sonic, Shadow, Jackrabbit, Klombo, X-Ray and Onigiri, plus how Cheat Code Chests work, all 25 Lobby Hack codes, every finish, and what happened to your Season 3 collection.

What are Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4?

A Sprite is a companion that rides along with you and applies a passive ability for as long as it is equipped. Sprites level up during a match, and every ability scales with level, so a Sprite you have carried through a full game is meaningfully stronger than one you summoned in the final circle.

Override's Sprites are a new generation rather than a continuation of Season 3. The roster is entirely different, the art style changed to blocky, cube-shaped designs that read as backpacks, and the way you find them has been rebuilt around the season's Cheat Code theme.

The four rarity tiers are the same as Season 3: Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. After the September 3 update Season 4 has eight Rares, four Epics, two Legendaries, and two Mythics.

What the September 3 update changed

The v42.10 update is the biggest addition to the Sprite pool since launch day. Four new Sprites went live, two of them designed by players:

• X-Ray is Legendary, so Jackrabbit is no longer the only one. Onigiri is the other community design; Overshield and Mega Man are Epic's, Mega Man arriving alongside the Mega Buster.
• A third finish, Loot Hacker, now appears on every Sprite except Mega Man, though it is still marked unreleased.
• Mastering a Sprite now halves the Sprite Dust cost to resummon it, and a new Mastery reward track was added.

How to get Sprites in Chapter 7 Season 4

Sprite Chests no longer exist. They have been replaced by Cheat Code Chests, and this is the single biggest change to the loop.

• Find a Cheat Code Injector. These sit on walls and floors around POIs. Green Hills, Stone Sanctum, Lifty Lodge, Shaken Sanctuary, and The Battlewoods are the reliable hotspots.
• Enter the code. The chest shows a sequence of arrows and you input it with directional movement, so forward is up, backward is down, and so on.
• Take the Sprite. A Cheat Code Chest gives a guaranteed random Sprite from its colour tier.
• Survive to extraction to add it to your collection permanently.
• Spend Sprite Dust afterwards to summon anything you have already unlocked.

• Blue codes give a Rare Sprite.
• Purple codes give an Epic Sprite.
• Gold codes give a Legendary Sprite.

Every Lobby Hack code in Override

Lobby Hack codes are redeemed from the Admin Panel button in the top right of the lobby screen. They cost nothing and most are permanent unlocks. The table below is the Sprite-focused view; our full Lobby Hack codes guide covers all 25 with redemption order, quest gates and fixes for a rejected code.

There are 25 active codes as of September 3, and none have expired yet. The Cheat Master codes are the ones worth redeeming first, because each is both a Sprite you own outright and a permanent skip on the arrow minigame. Five unlock immediately; Cheat Master Bush is a sixth, gated behind stage 9 of Wrixel's Get Crafty questline.

Two codes are quest-gated, as the table notes. YourThoughtsAreMine needs the hidden Geno quest, which you start by finding Geno on the overworld map and shooting at him so that he zaps you.

Rare Sprites

The eight Rares are the easiest to get. Three of them, Bush, Adventure, and Jonesy, are starter Sprites you can simply select, and Blue Cheat Codes give Rares. Four of the eight arrived after launch day: Storm Scout on August 29, then Mega Man, Onigiri, and Overshield on September 3.

8-Bit SpriteRAREBest for your opening loadout

Guarantees an 8-Bit Shotgun in your first chest and gives you a core multiplier for it. It solves the worst part of any drop, which is landing and finding nothing, and the 8-Bit Shotgun is one of the season's better close-range options.

Guaranteed first-chest shotgunHigh and mountainous areasFree with code 8BitBlast

Adventure SpriteRAREBest for loot quality

Upgrades a random item in your inventory every time it levels. Carried from an early drop it quietly turns a grey loadout into a purple one, which makes it the most valuable of the three starters over a full match.

Upgrades an item per levelStarter pickFree with code Born2Play

Bush SpriteRAREBest for stealth

Puts a bush on you after a set duration, and at max level gives you one on every elimination. It is the disengage tool of the season, and it rewards patient play far more than it rewards pushing.

Free bush on a timerBush on elims at max levelStarter pick

Jonesy SpriteRAREBest for sustain

Restores some health or shields a short delay after you take damage. Passive regen between fights saves real healing items, and it is the starter that most reduces how often you have to break off and heal.

Regen after damageShort delay before it triggersStarter pick

Mega Man SpriteRAREBest for sliding

Pairs with the Mega Buster, the charged blaster from the same collaboration, which has its own slide dash — so a slide-focused loadout is a real thing this patch rather than a novelty. Mega Man is also the only Sprite in the season with no finishes at all.

Longer slides, scaling per levelHigh and mountainous areasNo variant finishes

Onigiri SpriteRAREBest for burst movement

Overdrive means faster movement, higher jumps and unlimited stamina, so every Mini or Slurp becomes a free rotation window. Heal behind cover, then leave at speed — that is the whole play. A Design-A-Sprite winner by Enorull.

Overdrive after any consumableDuration scales per levelDesign-A-Sprite winner

Overshield SpriteRAREBest for effective health

The most straightforward power in the Rare tier, and the one that most reliably changes whether you survive a fight you were losing. Carry it from an early drop and the buffer is meaningful by the mid game.

Extra Overshield, scaling per levelHigh and mountainous areasHeatwave Harbor and Cluster Coast

Storm Scout SpriteRAREBest for storm play

Being paid for taking storm damage is unusual, and it turns a late rotation along the edge of the circle into a real option rather than a mistake. Released August 29, during that weekend's Power Hours. Datamines also credited it with revealing future circles at max level, but the in-game description says nothing about that, so treat it as unconfirmed.

Overdrive on storm damageDuration scales per levelReleased August 29

Epic Sprites

The four Epics come from Purple Cheat Codes. Three of them, Sonic, Tails, and Shadow, are the Sega crossover Sprites and cluster around the Green Hills POI.

Sonic SpriteEPICBest for rotations

Increases your sprint speed, and the bonus grows with every level. Movement speed is never a dead stat, so Sonic is the Epic we would pick without knowing anything about a match: it helps rotating, escaping the storm, and closing or breaking a fight equally.

Faster sprint, scales per levelGreen HillsFree with code GottaGoFast

Tails SpriteEPICBest for air control

Lets you hover in the air, matching how Tails flies with his twin tails. Hovering turns awkward height changes into controlled descents and pairs naturally with Sonic for a loadout built entirely around movement.

Hover in the airGreen HillsFree with code IWannaFlyHigh

Shadow SpriteEPICBest for sustained fights

Reloads your weapons over time, including the ones you are not holding. Swapping to a full second weapon instead of reloading under fire is a real advantage in a long fight, and it is the Epic whose value is easiest to underrate from the description alone.

Auto-reloads unequipped weaponsSpeed rises per levelGreen Hills

Killswitch SpriteEPICBest for aggression

Lets you enter Hangtime with improved accuracy when you aim while jumping or falling. It is the one Sprite built purely for winning duels, and it is the only launch Sprite that appears specifically at night.

Legendary Sprites

There were two Legendaries as of September 3. Gold Cheat Codes are the reliable way to get Jackrabbit; X-Ray also turns up in Purple codes.

Jackrabbit SpriteLEGENDARYBest for movement

A double jump changes how you take and hold high ground, escape a bad third party, and reposition in a build fight. Jazz Jackrabbit was a 1994 platformer from Epic MegaGames, so this is Epic's own retro mascot rather than an outside licence.

Mid-air double jumpCooldown falls per levelGold Cheat Codes

X-Ray SpriteLEGENDARYBest for information

Free periodic information is the rarest thing in a battle royale. It tells you whether the building next to you is occupied before you commit, and makes third parties much harder to walk into. In squads we would take it over Jackrabbit, since the marks help everyone. Look around The Battlewoods, Chopped Shop, Wonkeeland, Golden Grove, Heatwave Harbor and Shaken Sanctuary — and note it never appears in bot lobbies.

Periodic enemy markingRadius and rate scale per levelPurple and Gold Cheat Codes

Mythic Sprites

The two Mythics are the rarest in the pool. Both are unusual in that they cannot be levelled by ordinary play.

Klombo SpriteMYTHICBest for loot

Grants random items at each level. The catch is how it levels: only health and shield consumables count, so you feed it the way players fed Klomberries to the original Klombo in Chapter 3. Carry spare Minis specifically to level it.

Random items per levelLevels only on healing itemsVery rare

Crown SpriteMYTHICBest for Crown Wins

Levelling only on wins makes it the slowest Sprite in the game to max, and a status pick rather than a competitive one. If you are chasing a Crown Wins number, it is the only Sprite that moves it.

Extra Crown Wins per Victory RoyaleLevels only by winningVery rare

The Design-A-Sprite winners

Epic ran a Sprite concept contest earlier in 2026 and picked five community winners, all of which are due in Season 4. Entries were being shared in June. The first two arrived on September 3:

• X-Ray Sprite by Avila215. The concept came from Brady, an eight year old player, who based it on the glasses he has worn since major eye surgery at the age of five. Epic shipped it as a Legendary.
• Onigiri Sprite by Enorull. Epic swapped this in for the creator's original Bullet Sprite concept, so the Bullet Sprite is not coming.

• Dumpster Dive Sprite by StinkyPrincessGoose
• Pond Sprite by matsubokiri
• Honey Sprite by Conejito_sam

Sprite variants: Gold, Cheat Master, and Loot Hacker

Every Sprite has a plain Base appearance plus, potentially, extra finishes that re-skin it and change what it does. Season 3 ended with seven finishes. Season 4 launched with two, and a third arrived on September 3. They do genuinely different things rather than being pure cosmetics.

• Gold gives 3x bonus XP from eliminations while equipped. Gold variants become available during Power Hours rather than dropping freely.
• Cheat Master lets you skip the Cheat Code arrow sequence entirely, so you can spam any button to open a Cheat Code Chest. Five of them are free from Lobby Hack codes.
• Loot Hacker arrived with the September 3 update on every Sprite except Mega Man. Fourteen of the fifteen are still marked unreleased; Loot Hacker Crown is obtainable now, below.

All fifteen Loot Hacker finishes: a blue-violet shell with magenta circuit traces. Every Season 4 Sprite has one except Mega Man, which has no finishes at all.

Cheat Master is the most useful of the three for most players, because it compounds: it makes every future Cheat Code Chest faster and safer to open, which means more Sprites.

Epic has not confirmed whether any of the Season 3 finishes (Gummy, Galaxy, Gem, Holofoil, Cube, Quack) are returning. Treat any list claiming they are as unverified until it shows up in game.

Power Hours and Gold variants

Power Hours are recurring weekend windows in which the chance of rare Sprites dropping goes up and Gold variants become obtainable. The first ran on Saturday, August 22, from 2pm to 4pm ET and again from 9pm to 11pm ET, and they have continued weekly since: the August 29 Sonic Power Hours are when Storm Scout and its finishes went live.

Epic announces each weekend's window in game rather than on a fixed published schedule, so check the lobby before planning around one. If you only have time for a couple of sessions in a week, these are the hours worth spending, and they are the only reliable way to add Gold finishes.

What about drop rates?

Epic has not published a drop rate table for Season 4, and the trackers that measured Season 3's percentages are still gathering data. Anyone showing you exact Season 4 percentages today is guessing.

The structure above is more useful than percentages anyway, because you can act on it: the code colour tells you the tier before you open it, and volume of chests opened matters more than where you land. Two things it does not cover — Klombo and Crown sit outside the Cheat Code tiers entirely, described only as very rare finds, and none of the September 3 Sprites needed a purchase or a Battle Pass tier.

We will replace this section with real numbers once Epic or a reliable tracker publishes them.

Sprite Dust, Gizmos, and quality-of-life changes

Sprite Dust still summons Sprites you have already unlocked, and Gizmos are still the consumables that help you find and extract them. Both balances were reset at the end of Season 3, so everyone started Override from zero.

Season 4 made the economy noticeably kinder:

• Rare Sprites and variants cost less Dust to summon than their Season 3 equivalents.
• The hold time to summon a Sprite is shorter, so you are not standing still as long.
• Sprites you have already collected are flagged, so you stop extracting duplicates by accident.
• Sprite names now show near them in the world.
• Mastered Sprites cost half as much Dust to resummon, added on September 3. This is the change that most rewards finishing a Sprite rather than collecting broadly.
• A Mastery reward track was added in the same update, paying out Gizmos and rewards as you master Sprites, with an arcade-themed Back Bling due in v42.20.

The Sprite Garden

The Sprite Garden is the new home for your collection: a personal island where you can play with your Sprites, visit friends' gardens, and display everything you own. It was built with the creator teams Fairview Portals and Beyond Creative.

It is also where your Season 3 Sprites went.

What happened to your Season 3 Sprites

Your Season 3 collection was not deleted, but it is no longer playable in matches. Those Sprites now:

• Stay on your Sprite Collection page alongside the new generation.
• Appear as styles on the Sprite Mastery Pod Back Bling, for Sprites you extracted at Level 5.
• Work as pilots in the Guardian Outfit, if you owned the Chapter 7 Season 3 Battle Pass.
• Are displayed in the Sprite Garden.

Frequently asked questions

How to get all Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4? Open Cheat Code Chests, which replaced Sprite Chests: find an Injector on a wall or floor, enter the arrow sequence with directional inputs, and take the guaranteed Sprite. They also drop from ordinary chests at a low rate, from players you eliminate, and from Lobby Hack codes. Survive to extraction to keep one permanently, then spend Sprite Dust to resummon anything you have already unlocked.

How many Fortnite Sprites can you unlock right now? Sixteen: 8-Bit, Adventure, Bush, Jonesy, Mega Man, Onigiri, Overshield, Storm Scout, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Killswitch, Jackrabbit, X-Ray, Klombo, and Crown. Three more community-designed Sprites are still to come.

What new Fortnite Sprites were added in the September 3 update? Four, in v42.10: X-Ray, Onigiri, Overshield, and Mega Man. X-Ray and Onigiri are the first two Design-A-Sprite community winners, X-Ray from a concept by Brady, an eight year old player who based it on the glasses he has worn since eye surgery at five.

What do the Onigiri, X-Ray, Mega Man, and Overshield Sprites do? X-Ray is the Legendary of the four and periodically marks enemies around you, more often and across a wider radius as it levels. Onigiri applies Overdrive whenever you eat or drink a consumable, so every Mini becomes a rotation window. Overshield grants Overshield on top of your health and shields. Mega Man cuts sliding friction so you slide farther. The last three are all Rare.

How do Cheat Code Chests work in Fortnite? A Cheat Code Injector shows a sequence of arrows, and you enter it with directional movement — forward is up, backward is down. Get it right and the chest gives a guaranteed Sprite from its colour tier: blue for Rare, purple for Epic, gold for Legendary. Equip any Cheat Master finish and you skip the sequence entirely, spamming any button instead.

What are all the Fortnite Lobby Hack codes and rewards? There are 25 active codes, redeemed from the Admin Panel in the lobby, and none have expired. Our Fortnite Lobby Hack codes guide lists every one with its exact reward. GottaGoFast, IWannaFlyHigh, 8BitBlast, Born2Play and Play4All each give a Cheat Master Sprite, and JonesyIsGolden gives a Gold one. Magilume, Chispambo, Perlimpinpin, Abgestaubt and H0p0nVC each give 2,000 Sprite Dust; YourThoughtsAreMine gives 5,000. Two are quest-gated: GatherAndCraft needs stage 9 of Wrixel's Get Crafty questline, and YourThoughtsAreMine needs the hidden Geno quest.

What do the different Sprite variants do? Three finishes sit on top of a Sprite's Base appearance. Gold gives 3x bonus XP from eliminations and only becomes available during Power Hours. Cheat Master lets you skip the Cheat Code arrow sequence, and five are free from Lobby Hack codes. Loot Hacker arrived on September 3 and Epic has not published what it does.

How to unlock all Loot Hacker Sprite variants in Fortnite? You mostly cannot yet. There are fifteen, one for every Sprite except Mega Man, and fourteen are still marked unreleased. The exception is Loot Hacker Crown: master each earlier Crown finish in order, Base then Cheat Master then Gold, winning once with each equipped. That is four wins in total and they need not be consecutive. Two more, for Adventure and Jonesy, exist as unreleased Lobby Hack code rewards.

What are the Sprite summon rates and drop chances? Epic has not published a drop rate table for Season 4 and the trackers are still measuring, so anyone showing you exact percentages is guessing. What is confirmed is the structure: blue Cheat Codes give Rares, purple give Epics, gold give Legendaries, and Cheat Code Chests always give a Sprite where ordinary chests only sometimes do. Klombo and Crown, the two Mythics, sit outside those tiers entirely.

What is the best Sprite in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4? Sonic for general play, since extra sprint speed helps in every situation and it is free from a code. Shadow is our pick for long fights, Jackrabbit for movement, and X-Ray for squads. Klombo and Crown are the rarest, but both are collection pieces rather than competitive picks.

Can you still use Chapter 7 Season 3 Sprites in Season 4? No. They stay in your collection but are no longer equippable in matches. They became styles on the Sprite Mastery Pod Back Bling for any you extracted at Level 5, pilots in the Guardian Outfit if you owned the Season 3 Battle Pass, and residents of the Sprite Garden. Epic has said past generations may return, but nothing is dated.

Does Sprite Dust carry over between seasons? No. Sprite Dust and Gizmos both reset when Season 3 ended, so everyone started Override at zero. Five Lobby Hack codes give 2,000 Dust each and a sixth gives 5,000, which is the fastest way back up. Mastering a Sprite now halves the Dust cost to resummon it.

What are Sprite Power Hours, and when do they happen? Recurring weekend windows where rare Sprite chances go up and Gold finishes become obtainable. The first ran Saturday August 22, 2pm to 4pm ET and again 9pm to 11pm ET, and they have continued weekly since — the August 29 Sonic Power Hours are when Storm Scout launched. Epic announces each window in game rather than on a published schedule.

Looking back at Season 3

If you want to look up what any of the old Sprites did, our Chapter 7 Season 3 Sprite guide has the abilities, drop rates and locations for that full roster, and the Fortnite Sprite checklist tracks both seasons in one grid.

Sprites are also a reminder that a Fortnite collection is built season by season and cannot be bought back later. If you are shopping for an account with that history already in it, our Fortnite accounts list the full inventory before you buy.
