SEASON 4 LIVE HUB

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4
“OVERRIDE” Sprites

Every verified fact about the new Fortnite Sprites in Chapter 7 Season 4 — the 12-Sprite launch roster, release time, Sprite variants, Sidekicks and the Sprite Garden — updated continuously. Official reveals and leaks always labelled separately.

LIVE NOWChapter 7 Season 4 'Override' is LIVE and the roster keeps growing. Storm Scout arrived on August 29 (base, Cheat Master and Gold variants), completing the original 12-Sprite launch roster. Then the September 3 update (v42.10) added the first Design-a-Sprite community winners — X-Ray and Onigiri — alongside a new Knight Sprite; Epic swapped Enorull's Bullet design for his Onigiri instead. All Cheat Master and Gold variants are collectible, the Sprite Garden is OPEN (island code 4220-9404-7987), and the five free Lobby Hack Cheat Master codes still work. The remaining Design-a-Sprite winners (Dumpster Dive, Honey, Pond) are still to come, and drop rates remain unpublished everywhere — verification is ongoing.

VARIANTS

Sprite variants in Season 4

The launch collection counts two variant lines: Gold (12, switching on with the Gold Hours Power Hour on August 22) and the brand-new Cheat Master variant (12, debut timing unconfirmed) — 12 base + 24 variants = 36 entries. An earlier FNBRIntel leak says the other Season 3 lines (Gummy, Galaxy, Gem, Holofoil, Cube, Quack) return later; treat those as leak until verified. Officially confirmed: every Sprite gets a blocky, backpack-style redesign. Effects and drop rates land in the drop-rate table once verified.

SIDEKICKS ≠ SPRITES

Know the difference

Sidekicks are Fortnite's existing companion cosmetic line (since November 2025): no competitive advantage, customizable, with Sidekick Points unlocking accessories. Override adds gaming-legend Sidekicks — Spyro is trailer-shown; Tails, Rush, Pac-Man and Morgana are datamined. They aren't extractable collectibles, so they don't join the Sprite checklist — the Tails you track here is the Tails Sprite.

SPRITE GARDEN

Your collection carries over

The Sprite Garden is Season 4's island getaway: play with your Sprites, visit friends' gardens, showcase everything — Runners collection included. Season 3 Sprites live on as Mastery Pod styles, Guardian pilots and Collection entries (early reporting: not equippable in Battle Royale). Dust and Gizmos reset at the flip, as Epic confirmed. Full guide →

LIVE UPDATES

As it happened — newest first

Every development we've verified. This log keeps running through launch day and beyond.

Live

v42.10 drop: first Design-a-Sprite winners land — X-Ray & Onigiri, plus a new Knight Sprite

The September 3 update (v42.10) added three new Sprites at the 6 AM PT reset (confirmed by Vice's post-update roundup): X-Ray Sprite (Design-a-Sprite winner by Avila215 — reveals players through walls and objects for a short time), Onigiri Sprite (Design-a-Sprite winner by Enorull — grants a little extra Health when you consume Health items), and a new Knight Sprite whose ability Epic hasn't disclosed yet. Important correction to the community roster: Epic replaced Enorull's original 'Bullet' winning design with his Onigiri design, so Bullet is NOT coming — Onigiri takes its slot. The other Design-a-Sprite winners (Dumpster Dive, Honey, Pond) are still pending. No drop rates published, as usual, so those fields stay null. We're adding full checklist entries (rarities, variants, self-hosted art) for X-Ray/Onigiri/Knight as soon as fortnite.gg publishes their verified data.

Live

Storm Scout is LIVE — the 12th launch Sprite finally dropped (base, Cheat Master & Gold)

Storm Scout arrived on Saturday, August 29 at 11 AM PT, debuting during the weekend Sonic Power Hour (confirmed by Vice). All three of its variants went live together — base, Cheat Master and Gold — completing the original 12-Sprite Override launch roster. Its ability: it applies Overdrive after you take storm damage (increasing the Overdrive duration with each Level Up) and reveals future Storm Circles at max Level. Find it by looting matches and using Cheat Code consoles, with high, mountainous areas the better hunting grounds. We've flipped Storm Scout and all its variants to released in the tracker. Drop rates are still unpublished — those fields stay null until real numbers exist.

Upcoming

Next up: Power Hours land Saturday, Aug 29 — the weekend Rate Up

With today's New Sprite Day done, the next scheduled beat is Power Hours on Saturday, August 29 — the recurring weekend Rate Up that boosts Sprite spawn rates in two windows every Saturday. That fits Epic's fixed weekly cadence (Cheat Code Day on Monday, New Sprite Day on Thursday, Power Hours on Saturday), and Beebom's live event calendar dates this week's slot to Aug 29. What we DON'T have yet: Epic hasn't posted the exact Aug 29 start times or which Sprite(s) get the Rate Up — those land closer to the day and we'll add them once official. No drop-rate numbers accompany Power Hours either.

Live

New Sprite Day is LIVE: the last four Cheat Master variants — incl. ultra-rare Klombo — now drop from in-match Cheat Codes

It landed on schedule. Epic's first Season 4 New Sprite Day went live with the August 27 6 AM PT reset (confirmed by Vice's post-update roundup of what was added today): the four Cheat Master variants that were still missing — Cheat Master Klombo (the ultra-rare headliner), Cheat Master Shadow, Cheat Master Jackrabbit and Cheat Master Killswitch — are now obtainable by completing Cheat Codes found in matches. The same update also opened existing Cheat Masters to the in-match Cheat Code pool (outlets list Bush, Jonesy, 8-Bit, Adventure, Sonic and Tails), giving anyone who missed the launch Lobby Hack codes another route. Two honest caveats we're keeping: Cheat Code rewards aren't guaranteed — you may run several before a specific variant drops — and Epic still hasn't published any spawn rates, so our drop-rate fields stay null until real numbers exist. Storm Scout is still NOT in this drop; it keeps waiting for its own Sprite Day.

Announced

New Sprite Day confirmed for Thu Aug 27: four Cheat Master variants hit the map, incl. ultra-rare Cheat Master Klombo

Epic's Sprite schedule (reported by Vice) sets the first Season 4 New Sprite Day for Thursday, August 27 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET, timed to the weekly reset. Four previously-locked Cheat Master variants start appearing across the map — Cheat Master Klombo (the expected ultra-rare headliner), Cheat Master Shadow, Cheat Master Jackrabbit and Cheat Master Killswitch — joining the regular loot pool rather than being code-only. Two caveats we won't paper over: Epic hasn't said exactly where each spawns or how rare they'll be, and there are still no published drop-rate numbers. Storm Scout is NOT part of this drop — it keeps waiting for its own Sprite Day. We'll verify each variant in fortnite.gg's live data the moment the reset hits and flip them to released then.

Fact check

Five days in: roster stable, still no drop-rate numbers, next Power Hour unannounced

Mid-week re-check against Epic's channels and fortnite.gg's live tracker — nothing has changed since the Golden Hours weekend. The 11 base Sprites and all their Gold variants remain collectible at normal rates, the Sprite Garden stays open (island code 4220-9404-7987, 'created by epicgames'), and the five free Cheat Master codes (GottaGoFast, IWannaFlyHigh, 8BitBlast, Born2Play, Play4All) still work. Still pending, and we're watching daily: Storm Scout's Sprite Day, the five Design-a-Sprite community Sprites (Bullet, Dumpster Dive, Honey, Pond, X-Ray — arriving mid-season), the next Power Hour's theme and times, and any official Season 4 drop-rate table. No tracker has real percentages yet, so our rate fields stay null until a reproducible source exists.

Live

All 11 Gold variants dropped early — collectible now, before Golden Hours

Epic released the Gold Sprites ahead of schedule (confirmed by Vice): all 11 Gold variants — Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Jackrabbit, Klombo, 8-Bit, Crown, Adventure, Bush, Jonesy and Killswitch — are obtainable right now at normal spawn rates. The Golden Hours (Aug 22, 2–4 PM and 9–11 PM ET) BOOSTED their drop rate rather than unlocking them. We've flipped all 11 Golds to released in the tracker (Storm Scout's Gold stays locked until its Sprite Day). Gold's perk: 3× bonus XP from eliminations. Drop rates still unpublished everywhere — those fields stay null until real numbers exist.

Fact check

Full roster re-verified in live data — drop rates still unpublished anywhere

We re-checked every Season 4 entry against fortnite.gg's live tracker this evening: 11 Sprites are live (33 entries with Gold and Cheat Master variants — Storm Scout is still absent, confirming it waits for a future Sprite Day), and every rarity matches our roster (Klombo and Crown Mythic, Jackrabbit Legendary, Sonic/Tails/Shadow/Killswitch Epic, the rest Rare; Gold and Cheat Master are classed as Special). The important negative result: drop rates and summon costs remain placeholder zeros in every tracker — nobody has real numbers yet, so any site showing Season 4 percentages is guessing. Our dataset keeps them as 'not published' until a reproducible source exists.

Live

Sprite Garden is OPEN — island code 4220-9404-7987

One day late, but it's here: the Sprite Garden opened the morning of August 21. Enter it from the Discovery menu in the lobby, or punch in island code 4220-9404-7987 — verify the tile says 'created by epicgames' before loading in (copycat islands exist). Confirmed by GameRant's hands-on guide and Epic's own island listing: it's a peaceful non-combat space for up to 4 players (each with their own garden), where you display Sprites from Season 3 onward on pedestals and can build up to four Sprite Homes. No trading, no PvP — pure collection showcase. Every Sprite you catch in Season 4 is added to your Garden automatically.

Leak

Sprite Garden first look: a cozy build-a-home sim — but it hasn't opened yet

Fact check first: despite Epic's launch notes saying the Sprite Garden was 'launching tomorrow', it is still not live as of August 21 — insiders expect it within days. Meanwhile dataminer unrealhybrid surfaced a first look (via GamingBible): four islands around a central Sprite Shrine, and a relaxation-focused loop where you build a Sprite Home, upgrade it by stepping on building pads, and furnish it 'so your Sprite will feel more comfortable'. Buildable structures in the files include bathhouses, dojos, greenhouses, spas, tea houses and arenas, with NPC Jade guiding you across mountain, cave and beach biomes. The vibe is openly Pokémon-Pokopia-like — a cozy life-sim corner of Fortnite. All of this is datamined, not official, until it opens.

Official

All 16 Lobby Hack codes mapped — four Cheat Master Sprites free right now

The full launch-week code list is out (TheGamer): four codes hand you Cheat Master Sprites directly — GottaGoFast (CM Sonic), IWannaFlyHigh (CM Tails), 8BitBlast (CM 8-Bit) and Born2Play (CM Adventure) — plus Magilume, Chispambo, Perlimpinpin and Abgestaubt (2,000 Sprite Dust each = 8,000 Dust total), TakeYourHeart (2 Extraction Accelerators), SurviveTheNight (2 Cheat Code Locators), PerfectOrder (4 Spicy Tacos), O2Override (Llama Supply + 5 Portable Extractors), DontBlockMe / LetsBlockAndRoll (Tetris-block transform), and BeMoreAlien / ReachYourImpossible (loading screens). Enter them from the lobby. UPDATE (Aug 21): Play4All is now confirmed and tested — it unlocks the Cheat Master Jonesy Sprite, making five free Cheat Masters in total. No expiry dates announced — redeem early.

Live

The Override generation is now IN THE TRACKER — verified on fortnite.gg

Dataset milestone: all 12 Season 4 Sprites are now in the interactive checklist, verified in-browser against fortnite.gg's live pages — rarities (four Rare, four Epic, Jackrabbit Legendary, Crown and Klombo Mythic, Storm Scout Rare), official ability text, locations, and self-hosted renders. Structure confirmed on the source: Cheat Master variants are live from Cheat Codes, every Gold variant is flagged UNRELEASED until Golden Hours (Aug 22), and Storm Scout (plus all its variants) is unreleased pending a Sprite Day. Neither Epic nor fortnite.gg has published drop rates or summon costs yet — those fields stay null in our dataset rather than guessed, and fill in the moment real numbers exist.

Official

Cheat Master effect confirmed by a second source — Gold keeps its 3× XP

The Cheat Master perk is now cross-verified (TechWiser + allthings.how): equipped Cheat Master Sprites make Cheat Code entry effortless — the Injector ignores your inputs, so any button combination works. It's confirmed on our variant atlas. Also settled: the Season 4 Gold variant keeps its Season 3 effect (3× bonus XP from eliminations), and the five Design-a-Sprite winners will enter the loot pool progressively across mid-season updates rather than all at once. Epic still hasn't published a Season 4 drop-rate table — community trackers are measuring, and our dataset waits for solid numbers.

Fact check

Post-launch verified: Cheat Code Chests replace Sprite Chests + starter trio

In-game reality has settled (allthings.how, verified post-launch Aug 20) and it corrects the early guides: the old Sprite Chests are gone. The guaranteed source this season is Cheat Code Chests at fixed island spots — enter the code shown on the chest and a random Sprite pops out, with the chest color setting the tier (Blue = Rare, Purple = Epic, Gold = Legendary). Regular chests keep a low Sprite chance. You also pick a starter Sprite at season start: Adventure, Bush or Jonesy (base form only). World spawns favor high ground — most of the roster appears around mountains — and Killswitch only spawns in night-time matches. Extraction still works the Season 3 way: bank Sprites at Extraction Sites or with Portable Extractors, and run a Cheat Code Locator early to mark codes on your route.

Fact check

Storm Scout isn't live yet — and Cheat Master's trick is revealed

Two clarifications from the day's verified coverage. Gamerant confirms Storm Scout is in the game files but 'will not arrive until a future Sprite Day' — so the launch pool is 11 live Sprites, with Storm Scout the pre-announced 12th. That reconciles the 11-vs-12 counts across outlets. And TechWiser's dedicated guide reports the Cheat Master variant's perk: equipped Cheat Master Sprites ignore Cheat Code Injector inputs — mash any buttons and the code still enters. Cheat Masters come from Cheat Codes (not chests) and are in the launch drop alongside Gold.

Official

Collector QoL: in-match collected indicator, names on sight, Ranked Sprites

Straight from Epic's v42.00 notes: 'You can now see in-match whether you've already collected a Sprite — no more guessing mid-fight', and 'a Sprite's name now appears when you're near it'. Sprites also join Ranked Battle Royale — collectible there, but 'their gameplay powers have been disabled to preserve competitive integrity'. Summoning got faster and cheaper too: rare Sprites and variants cost less Dust this season, and the button-hold time to summon is shorter.

Official

Rarities confirmed + two working codes grant Cheat Master variants NOW

Rarities are now cross-verified by two outlets (TechWiser, ComicBook) and shown on the roster: four Rares (8-Bit, Adventure, Bush, Jonesy), four Epics (Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Killswitch), Jackrabbit Legendary, and two Mythics (Crown, Klombo); Storm Scout's tier is still unlisted. Bigger news for collectors: two Lobby Hack codes already work — redeem GottaGoFast for the Cheat Master Sonic Sprite and IWannaFlyHigh for the Cheat Master Tails Sprite. That makes Cheat Master variants obtainable on day one via codes, and rarer Cheat Code Injector combos are reported to unlock specific variants too.

Live

How to get the new Sprites: Cheat Code Injectors, vaults and world spawns

First post-launch guides (Yahoo, The Spike) confirm the acquisition routes. New this season: Cheat Code Injectors plastered on walls and floors around POIs — interact and enter a directional-input code, with the code's color telling you the rarity (Blue = Rare, Purple = Epic, Gold = Legendary; longer codes = rarer Sprites). Sprite Chests return as the guaranteed source, with a new vault structure reported: Rare Vaults hold two Rare Chests plus a Sprite Chest, and Epic Sprite Vaults guarantee three Sprite Chests. Some Sprites also wander the overworld in set locations, and Sprite Locators return as a tracking tool.

Live

OVERRIDE IS LIVE — official abilities for all Sprites, Golden Hours schedule

Servers returned at 6 AM ET and Epic's v42.00 update notes are out. All abilities now carry official wording (see the roster), with two leveling quirks: Klombo levels only by using Health/Shield consumables, and Crown levels only by winning matches. Golden Hours activate Gold variants on August 22 in two windows (2–4 PM and 9–11 PM ET). New this season: Loot Hacks (spend Sprite Dust to influence what drops from chests), Cheat Codes hidden across the island that pop out a Sprite when entered, and Match Overrides consoles that display your name to the lobby while you rewrite server rules. Sprite Dust also reduces summon costs for rare variants. The Sprite Garden — where Season 3 Sprites are immortalized — opens tomorrow, August 21. Rarities and drop data are still being verified in-game; the tracker dataset updates as soon as they're solid.

Official

Lobby Hacks can award Sprite Variants — a brand-new acquisition path

Epic's Override reveal details two hack systems. Lobby Hacks are real-world redemption codes (distributed via social posts and promos) that unlock in-game rewards — XP, Sprite Dust and even Sprite Variants, making promo codes a first-ever variant source worth watching. Override Consoles are the in-match version: the first player to reach a console flips a server-wide rule (Sonic Speed, Infinite Stamina, Big Loot — 10+ confirmed). Sprite Dust also returns as the Season 4 leveling currency, and both Sprite generations live together in the Sprite Garden.

Official

Full launch roster: 12 Sprites, 36 entries — new 'Cheat Master' variant

Epic's launch reveal (reported by Vice) names all 12 base Sprites — Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Jackrabbit, Klombo, 8-Bit, Crown, Adventure, Bush, Jonesy, Killswitch and Storm Scout — with abilities for every one (see the roster below; we verify each in-game at launch). With variants the launch collection counts 36 entries: 12 base + 12 Gold + 12 of a brand-new variant type, Cheat Master. Gold variants switch on with the Gold Hours Power Hour on August 22; Cheat Master debut timing is unconfirmed.

Leak

Design-a-Sprite winner abilities datamined

Datamined, unofficial: Bullet (ammo boxes grant more ammunition), Dumpster Dive (loot from jumping into dumpsters), Honey (spawns bees that target attackers), Pond (water speed boost; jump height and fall-damage reduction at Level 5) and X-Ray (briefly reveals players through walls). The five community Sprites still arrive mid-season, not at launch.

Downtime

v42.00 downtime begins — Season 3 is over

Servers went down at 2 AM ET for the Override update. Chapter 7 Season 3 'Runners' is officially finished: unspent Sprite Dust and Gizmos are gone (Epic confirmed they reset), and the Runners collection now lives on as Mastery Pod styles, Guardian pilots and Sprite Garden residents. Season 4 is expected live around 6 AM ET.

Fact check

Sidekicks are cosmetics — they won't join the checklist

Cross-checked Epic's own Sidekicks announcement: they're the existing companion cosmetic line from November 2025 — purely cosmetic, no competitive advantage, Sidekick Points unlock accessories. Override adds collab Sidekicks (Spyro shown in the trailer; Tails, Rush, Pac-Man and Morgana datamined). They are not extractable collectibles, so the checklist tracks the Tails Sprite, not the Tails Sidekick.

Leak

Key-art leak stretches the collab roster

A leaked Override key art (corroborated by dataminer HYPEX, still unofficial) adds Kingdom Hearts' Sora, Beyond Good & Evil's Jade and Roblox's 99 Nights in the Forest to the season's gaming-legends lineup.

Official

All 8 launch Sprites revealed

Epic's trailer officially named the launch roster: Sonic (Spin Dash + sprint boost), Tails (hover), Jazz Jackrabbit (appears to grant an extra air jump), Klombo, Bushranger, Killswitch, Victory Crown and The Adventurer. Only Sonic's and Tails' powers are shown on screen — the rest stay unlisted here until verified.

Leak

All 7 variant lines return — plus new types

Per dataminer FNBRIntel (via Vice): Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, Gem, Holofoil, Cube and Quack all continue in Season 4, and the files point to brand-new variant types whose names are still unknown. Officially confirmed alongside: every Sprite gets a blocky, backpack-style redesign.

Official

Downtime schedule confirmed

v42.00 downtime starts 2 AM ET on August 20; servers are expected back around 6 AM ET. The Battle Pass — Sonic at Level 85, Geno at Level 60, a customizable Tetris outfit — unlocks the moment the update drops.

QUICK ANSWERS

Season 4 Sprite questions, answered

What are the Fortnite Override Lobby Hack codes?+

17 codes are live, entered via the Admin Panel in the lobby. Cheat Master Sprites (five free): GottaGoFast (Sonic), IWannaFlyHigh (Tails), 8BitBlast (8-Bit), Born2Play (Adventure), Play4All (Jonesy). Sprite Dust (2,000 each): Magilume, Chispambo, Perlimpinpin, Abgestaubt. Gizmos: TakeYourHeart (2 Extraction Accelerators), SurviveTheNight (2 Cheat Code Locators), PerfectOrder (4 Spicy Tacos), O2Override (Llama Supply + 5 Portable Extractors). Fun/cosmetic: DontBlockMe, LetsBlockAndRoll (Tetris-block transform), BeMoreAlien, ReachYourImpossible (loading screens). No expiry announced — redeem early.

How do you get Sprites in Fortnite Season 4?+

The guaranteed source is Cheat Code Chests at fixed island spots — enter the code shown and a random Sprite pops out (Blue = Rare, Purple = Epic, Gold = Legendary). Regular chests keep a low Sprite chance, world spawns favor mountains (Killswitch only at night), you pick a starter Sprite (Adventure, Bush or Jonesy) at season start, and Lobby Hack codes unlock specific Sprites. Extract at Extraction Sites or with Portable Extractors to keep them.

What are the new Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4?+

The Season 4 generation counts 12 revealed Sprites — Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Jackrabbit, Klombo, 8-Bit, Crown, Adventure, Bush, Jonesy and Killswitch live at launch, plus Storm Scout waiting in the files for a future Sprite Day — 36 collectible entries counting the Gold and new Cheat Master variants. Five Design-a-Sprite winners (Bullet, Dumpster Dive, Honey, Pond, X-Ray) arrive mid-season on top.

How many Sprites are there in Fortnite Season 4?+

11 base Sprites are live (Storm Scout waits for a future Sprite Day), each with a Cheat Master and a Gold variant — 33 collectible entries now. The Gold variants dropped early and are collectible at normal rates; today's Golden Hours (Aug 22, 2–4 PM and 9–11 PM ET) boost their drop rate. We verify the live count in-game and track it on the checklist.

What time does Fortnite Season 4 Override come out?+

August 20, 2026. v42.00 downtime began at 2 AM ET and servers are expected back around 6 AM ET (10:00 UTC). Downtime windows can run long, so treat the end time as approximate.

Do Season 3 Sprites carry over to Season 4?+

Your Runners collection carries over as cosmetics — Mastery Pod Back Bling styles, Guardian Outfit pilots, your Collection page and the new Sprite Garden — but early reporting says they won't remain equippable in Battle Royale.

Do Sprite variants return in Season 4?+

Two variant lines are live now: Gold (all 11 dropped early and are collectible; Golden Hours on August 22, 2–4 PM and 9–11 PM ET boost their drop rate) and the brand-new Cheat Master variant (from Cheat Codes). An earlier FNBRIntel leak said all seven Season 3 lines return eventually — the launch reveal doesn't include the other five yet, so treat those as later-season until verified.

What is the Sprite Garden?+

A peaceful island getaway — now OPEN (since Aug 21) — where you play with your Sprites and showcase your entire collection, including your Season 3 Runners Sprites, which Epic says are immortalized there. Enter it from the Discovery menu in the lobby or with island code 4220-9404-7987 (check it says 'created by epicgames' — fakes exist). It's a UEFN experience built with Fairview Portals and Beyond Creative: non-combat, up to 4 players each with their own garden, Sprites displayed on pedestals, and you can build up to four Sprite Homes. Every Sprite you catch in Season 4 is added automatically. No trading or PvP.

Are Sidekicks the same as Sprites?+

No. Sidekicks are Fortnite's existing companion cosmetic line (since November 2025) — purely cosmetic, no competitive advantage. Override adds collab Sidekicks like Spyro, but they aren't extractable collectibles and don't join the Sprite checklist.
