Chapter 7 Season 3 'Runners': The Sprites Explained
Chapter 7 Season 3 'Runners' launched on June 6, 2026, and introduced Sprites: collectible creatures you catch, extract to keep permanently, and level up for buffs. The season runs until August 19, 2026, and has grown to 24 released Sprite families and 109 collectible variants.
The Runners season is the season of Sprites. Launched June 6, 2026, it turned the map into a collection hunt: find a Sprite, extract it at an Extraction Site or with a Portable Extractor, and it's yours for good.
How Sprites work this season
- Catch a Sprite for an in-match buff — but you only keep it if you extract it.
- Level Sprites 1→5 by playing; master them by extracting at Level 5.
- Every Sprite has variants (Gold, Gummy, Galaxy and more), each a separate collectible.
The season roster grew fast
Sprites arrived at launch and expanded every few weeks — the DC 'Hot Bat Summer' wave in v41.20 and the big v41.30 drop pushed the roster to 24 released families and 109 collectible entries by early August.
With the season ending August 19, 2026, now is the time to finish your collection. Use the interactive checklist to see exactly what you're missing.
