Swing back into action with Spider-Man’s Web Shooters! The Lucky Locator Gizmo is here to help you find the new Sprites or those you haven’t yet, and Sprite Mastery Part 4 rewards are up for grabs. Read on for details, including the latest round of bug fixes and improvements.
New Additions
Spider-Man's Web Shooters
Aim high! Buildings, trees and player-built structures will help you build up speed and cover ground more quickly. Obtain a pair from Spider-Man himself for 2,000 Gold at The Battlewoods point of interest, or loot them from Spider-Man’s Backpacks found all over the Island:
You won’t take fall damage while swinging
If you come in low, you’ll run along the ground and maintain momentum
Great for outrunning the Storm
Shoot at floor loot to pull the items to you on the go
PSA: Spider-Man’s Web Shooters are available in non-competitive play.
Loot Pool Adjustments
UNVAULTED: Spire Rifle (Common to Epic)
VAULTED: Business Turret, Chaos Exploder Rifle (Uncommon & Rare)
Sprites
Two new Sprites are on the loose!
Lootin’ Llama Sprite: Opening Ammo Boxes has a chance to upgrade your weapon
Peeky Peely Sprite: Marks nearby rare Sprite variants or enemies carrying them. Be ready though, it reveals your location too!
You can also discover new variants of these Sprites:
Reaper Sprite: Holofoil
Zero Point Sprite: Holofoil and Cube
New Mastery Progression Unlocks
Progress through Part 4 of Sprite Mastery and unlock the new Quack Sprite variant, Umbrella Glider and the new Lucky Locator Gizmo.
Quack Sprite: Whenever your Quack Sprite gains progress, every other Sprite you’re carrying in your match inventory also gains an extra 50% of that progress. Share the love!
Gizmos
NEW - Lucky Locator
If you’ve been chasing that elusive Sprite for a while, you’re in luck. The Lucky Locator Gizmo guarantees a Chest containing a Sprite you haven’t collected yet. You can earn one through the Sprite Mastery progression track, with more Lucky Locators on the way.
All Gizmos earned during Chapter 7 Season 3 will expire when the Season ends. You can see exactly when by checking the expiration timer on the Battle Royale mode selection screen or the Gizmo Wheel during a match, so use them or lose them!
