How to get Holofoil Sprites in Fortnite

Holofoil Sprites are the newest introduction to Fortnite, and they essentially give your entire squad a 5% increased chance of finding rare Sprite variants when looting a chest.

The real value kicks in when your whole team is running one. This buff is stackable, so if an entire four-person squad has a Holofoil Sprite equipped, your team benefits from a combined 20% higher chance of finding rare Sprites. When it comes to finding the Holofoil Sprites in Fortnite, you can primarily get them near the Golden Fishing Spots or through chests. Beyond Golden Fishing Spots, each Holofoil Sprite also has a dedicated spawn theme tied to specific areas of the map:

Holofoil Water Sprite: Lakes, rivers, and beaches

Holofoil Earth Sprite: Forests and woods

Holofoil Fire Sprite: Cities and towns

Holofoil Fishy Sprite: Close to water bodies

Holofoil Duck Sprite: Close to Sinister Strip and Frosted Flats

Holofoil Ghost Sprite: Appears during night across the map

Holofoil Demon Sprite: Sprite Chests and Rare Chests

Holofoil King Sprite: Sprite Chests, Rare Chests, and defeating AI bots

Holofoil Striker Sprite: Sprite Chests or after scoring a goal at the field near Heatwave Harbor

Holofoil Aura Sprite: Sprite Chests

Holofoil Punk Sprite: Vault Sprite Chests

Holofoil Boss Sprite: Defeating Chapter 7 Season 3 bosses and Sprite Chests

Holofoil Dream Sprite: Vault Sprite Chests

Holofoil Zero Point Sprite: Vault Sprite Chests

Holofoil Grim Sprite: Sprite Chests

All 15 Holofoil Sprites and their rarities in Fortnite

There are 15 Holofoil Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, spanning four rarity tiers: Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. Here are further details:

Rare: Water, Earth, Fire, Fishy

Epic: Striker, Aura, Duck, Ghost, Demon, King

Legendary: Punk, Dream, Boss

The Mythic variants are the hardest to land and will require either significant luck in Vault Sprite Chests or a boss elimination for the Boss variant.

Notably, the Burnt Peanut Sprite does not have a Holofoil variant in the game.

Holofoil Hours in Fortnite

The fastest way to collect Holofoil Sprites is through the dedicated limited-time event Epic is running this weekend. The Holofoil Hours event is on July 11, 2026, at 2 PM ET and 9 PM ET. During these sessions, there will be boosted Holofoil Sprite spawn rates. During Holofoil Hours, players also start every match with a Self-Revive Device and a Shock Rock effect. Shock Rocks grant double jump height and drop more frequently throughout the match. The two-hour windows on July 11 are the single most efficient sessions for knocking out multiple Holofoil variants in one sitting, so plan around those time slots if you can.Whenever you find a Holofoil Sprite, proceed to extract it at an Extraction Site or with a Portable Extractor.
