Fortnite has a whole new collection of Sprites to hunt down, and some of them are genuinely useful. The Treasure Hunters season, which launched on November 1, 2026, introduced new companions that can speed up your reloads, reveal hidden treasure, protect you from fall damage, and even give you extra loot.
There are 12 Sprites available from the season’s launch, including the One Piece-themed Transponder Snail. Another companion, Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr., is expected later in November.
You’ll also find Fortune and Cursed versions of several Sprites, each with additional effects. With so many names appearing in the collection, it’s easy to lose track of what’s actually new and what’s just a different variant.
Here’s the November lineup, what each Sprite does, and where to start looking for them.
All New Fortnite Sprites Added on November 1, 2026
The new Sprites arrived with Fortnite’s v43.00 update and the launch of Treasure Hunters. They can be collected on Crossbones Isle, the season’s new Battle Royale map.
Each companion has a different ability, and several become more useful as they level up.
| Sprite | Ability |
| Halfpeel’d | Marks eliminations on the map. Detection range increases with each level. |
| Re-Pete | Speeds up reloading and gives a chance to recover ammunition. |
| Barry O’Fish | Reduces stamina consumption while sprinting in water. Grants the Slap effect at maximum level. |
| Exmarks | Reveals nearby Treasure Maps and Wanted Posters. Generates a Treasure Map at maximum level. |
| Plundarrgh | Opening chests temporarily increases movement and pickaxe speed. |
| Chester | Gives chests a chance to drop extra loot and prevents fall damage. |
| Wayfinder | Reveals nearby Sprites and provides extra loot from buried chests. |
| Kelper | Gradually restores health while you’re in water. |
| Lil’ Squibbly | Allows players to collect fish and bonus loot by jumping into fishing holes. |
| Lil’ Flacko | Creates a shockwave when landing, knocking nearby opponents back. |
| Sweet Dreams | Awards random items when leveling up, with Mythic loot available at maximum level. |
| Transponder Snail | Provides additional resources from pickups, with benefits extending to eligible teammates. |
What I find interesting about this collection is how differently the Sprites can affect a match. Some are made for players who want to fight, while others are much better suited to exploring and collecting loot.
Re-Pete and Chester immediately stand out for everyday usefulness. Faster reloading can help during a fight, while having no fall damage opens up some fairly ridiculous escape options.
Exmarks and Wayfinder, on the other hand, make more sense if you’re trying to complete your collection rather than chasing eliminations.
How to Find the New Sprites in Fortnite Treasure Hunters
Finding Sprites works differently in Treasure Hunters. One of the main ways to get them involves Wanted Posters and Sprite Treasure Maps.
Look for Wanted Posters on walls around Crossbones Isle. Removing one gives you a Sprite Treasure Map, which points toward a buried Sprite Chest.
Follow the map to the marked location, uncover the chest with your pickaxe, and open it to collect the Sprite inside.
The Sprite you receive is random, so finding a particular companion may take several attempts.
Sprites can also appear in ordinary chests, although they aren’t guaranteed. Eliminating an opponent who is carrying one provides another opportunity to pick up a companion.
There’s a special exception for Lil’ Flacko, which can also drop from the A$AP Rocky boss aboard The .. Rocky.
If I were starting a fresh collection, I’d look for Exmarks early. Its ability to reveal Wanted Posters and Treasure Maps should make searching for the remaining Sprites considerably easier.
Don’t forget that finding a Sprite and adding it permanently to your collection aren’t necessarily the same thing. You’ll need to extract it successfully, following the extraction options available in the current season.
Fortune and Cursed Sprites: What’s Different?
The Treasure Hunters collection also includes new variants. These aren’t completely different companions. They are special versions of the regular Sprites, retaining their original abilities while adding another effect.
Fortune Sprites reveal nearby chests, making them useful when exploring an unfamiliar area or searching for loot.
Cursed Sprites increase your chances of finding rarer Sprite variants, but there’s a rather unpleasant catch: water can damage you while one is equipped.
That sounds especially troublesome on an island with so much coastline and water. A shortcut through a river could suddenly become a terrible idea.
Fortune variants were available from the season’s launch. Cursed variants were also included in the collection information, but they were not enabled for normal collection on November 1. Players should check their current in-game availability rather than assuming every listed variant can already be found.
Gold variants are scheduled to return on November 12, 2026. They provide additional Sprite XP from eliminations, giving players another reason to level up their companions.
The different variants also explain why some Fortnite Sprite lists contain far more entries than the number of unique companions.
Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. Is Coming Later
One Sprite that players may notice in collection lists is Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr.
Unlike the 12 companions available at launch, Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. was listed as upcoming content.
Its ability creates a Chug Splash effect when shields are restored, potentially making it useful during fights and team-based encounters.
As of November 6, 2026, its release should still be treated as upcoming rather than confirmed as available. Treasure Hunters has several Captain’s Days scheduled throughout November, when additional Sprites, weapons, and other content can arrive.
The remaining announced Captain’s Days fall on November 8, 12, 15, and 22. Epic hasn’t committed to releasing every new Sprite on the same day, so it’s worth checking the collection after each event.
Sprite Mastery Rewards Are Back
Collecting the new companions is only part of the Treasure Hunters experience. Sprite Mastery has returned, offering rewards for leveling up and mastering your Sprites.
You can find the rewards under the Treasure tab in the Fortnite lobby, where new reward pages become available throughout the season.
Rewards include collectible items such as Lucky Locators, Golden Fireworks, and other Gizmos. The Sprite Strongbox Back Bling also receives upgrades as players progress.
One of the larger goals involves mastering 40 Sprites to unlock the Navigator’s Nosedive Umbrella.
That sounds like quite a bit of work, especially during a relatively short season. Fortunately, Mastery Mondays provide opportunities to earn extra Sprite XP and Sprite Dust.
I wouldn’t try to master every Sprite immediately. Finding companions with abilities that suit the way you play seems like a much more enjoyable approach, particularly when some of the best rewards take time to unlock.
Which New Fortnite Sprites Are Worth Finding First?
For everyday Battle Royale matches, I’d put Chester, Re-Pete, and Sweet Dreams near the top of the list.
Chester combines better chest rewards with complete fall damage protection. That second ability is particularly appealing when you’re moving across high ground or escaping from a fight.
Re-Pete is a more straightforward choice. Faster reloads can help in close encounters, especially when there’s little time to switch weapons or find cover.
Sweet Dreams has the potential to reward players with increasingly valuable items as it levels up. Getting Mythic loot at maximum level makes it one of the more interesting companions for players who can keep it long enough.
Collectors should pay particular attention to Exmarks and Wayfinder. Finding maps, posters, and other Sprites more easily can save a lot of wandering around Crossbones Isle.
Lil’ Flacko is probably the most entertaining of the group. Knocking opponents back when you land sounds like the kind of ability that could produce some hilarious moments, even if it isn’t always the most practical choice.
There’s no single best Sprite for every situation. A companion that’s excellent for exploring might not be nearly as helpful during the final few circles of a match.
More Sprites Are Expected During November 2026
The November 1 update gave Fortnite players a sizeable new Sprite collection, but Epic isn’t releasing all Treasure Hunters content at once.
More additions are planned for Captain’s Days, while the return of Gold variants on November 12 will give collectors another reason to revisit their existing companions.
For now, the best approach is to start collecting the launch roster, learn which abilities fit your playstyle, and keep an eye on the upcoming events.
