Fortnite's Chapter 7 mini-season, dubbed "Treasure Hunters," has introduced a new collection of sprites, each with distinct abilities that can aid players in various ways. These sprites function similarly to those in previous seasons: players can find them scattered across the island, level them up, and extract them to gain mastery. Mastering sprites unlocks rewards such as sprite dust and cosmetic items.
While sprites from earlier seasons are not directly usable in this mini-season's core gameplay, they can be interacted with in the Sprite Garden game mode. Additionally, mastered sprites can be utilized as decorative back bling styles.
New Sprites and Their Abilities
The "Treasure Hunters" update brings several new sprites, many featuring variants that offer amplified effects. These variants include:
