The wild is full of new Sprites, and it's time to go collect them. Five new Sprites are roaming Battle Royale with v41.10! Here's who you're hunting for:

  • Striker Sprite: Gain Overdrive when you Mantle or Hurdle. 

  • Fishy Sprite: Swim speed way up, plus a brief movement speed boost when you take damage.

  • Aura Sprite: Gain a Shock Rock charge when you deal enough damage.

  • Boss Sprite: A boost to your max HP and Shield. 

  • Grim Reaper Sprite: Anyone who attacks you gets marked for a duration.

Shock Rocks and Quack Snacks consumables are here! Consume a Shock Rock to gain the Shockwave effect for a limited time, and gobble down a Quack Snack to restore health and shield and gain Sprite XP too.

v41.10 also brings Gone Wild - a two-week summer fling with new unvaults, new Questlines, and new ways to reel in more Sprites.

Gone Wild Unvaults (June 25 - July 9):

  • Mythic Goldfish

  • Flare Gun

  • Lawless Stink Rifle

  • Hop Rock Dualies

  • Shield Bubble

  • Exotic Slapberry Fizz

  • Bush Bomb

  • Big Bush Bomb 

Heal at a Campfire to level up the Sprite you're carrying, and drop a line in Fishing Spots around the Island for a chance to reel one in. 

For the two weeks of Gone Wild, you’ll find even more Gold variants when fishing in week one (June 25 - July 1) and Gummy variants in week two (July 2 - 9).

And be on the lookout for two new Rift Anomalies that may pop up as the circle closes: Safe Extraction and Sprite Hunt.
