In brief

The Fish Sprite is one of five new Fortnite Runners Sprites available since the v41.10 update on June 25. Quickly accessible by fishing at Fishing Spots with a Fishing Rod or a Harpoon Gun, it boosts your swim speed and mobility after taking damage, with increasing bonuses up to level 5.

The Fishy Sprite is one of five new Sprites added to Fortnite Runners, with the v41.10 update dated June 25. It's available right from the start of the season and doesn't require any progression prerequisites or time investment to obtain: it can essentially be fished up, which makes it accessible fairly early in a match.

How to get the Fishy Sprite

The main method is fishing, by heading to a Fishing Spot and using a Fishing Rod or a Harpoon Gun. The base Fishy Sprite has the advantage of coming up frequently at regular spots, so it's worth trying multiple times if you miss the catch on your first attempt. If you're aiming for a potentially better variant, head to Gold Fishing Spots, which increase the chances of getting Gold Sprites, so potentially a Gold Fishy Sprite as part of the ongoing Summer Event.

Fishing for the Fishy Sprite isn't the only way to get one. It can also come from:

  • Sprite Chests : the best targeted source for all Sprites
  • Regular chests : less reliable, but worth opening every time

Note

These are also potential sources for the Galaxy, Gold, and Gummy variants of the Fishy Sprite.

Don't forget to extract it

Once you have the Fishy Sprite in hand, you especially need to extract it and secure it in your collection. That's the only way to keep it between matches. Without extraction, you'll have to start from scratch every match. Epic confirms that any extracted Sprite is kept for the rest of the season: the work only needs to be done once per variant!

What the Fishy Sprite does

The Fishy Sprite affects two stats: swim speed and movement speed after taking damage. It's therefore a Sprite clearly geared toward mobility and survival under pressure, useful in areas with a lot of water, or especially in an aggressive playstyle.

Its bonuses increase with each level:

  • Level 1 : +25% swim speed / +10% movement speed
  • Level 2 : +50% swim speed / +20% movement speed
  • Level 3 : +100% swim speed / +30% movement speed
  • Level 4 : +150% swim speed / +40% movement speed
  • Level 5 : +200% swim speed / +50% movement speed
