Overview
- Epic Games launched the Treasure Hunters mini‑season on November 1, returning collectible Sprites in base, Fortune, and Cursed forms and producing media counts of 33 total entries when variants are included.
- Fortune variants reveal nearby chests while Cursed variants boost chances of rare finds at the cost of taking damage from water, and Epic has announced a Gold Sprite that will arrive on November 12 and grant bonus XP for eliminations.
- Players obtain Sprites by finding Wanted Posters that convert into Sprite Treasure Maps, following the map to a buried Sprite Chest and digging it up, or by opening Sprite Chests, ordinary chests, or killing players who carry a Sprite.
- Each base Sprite grants a distinct in‑match power that scales with level, such as marking eliminations on the map, speeding reloads, restoring health in water, knocking back enemies on landing, or revealing Treasure Maps.
- Outlets differ on how many unique base Sprites exist (reports list 11, 12, or 13) because some count only base types while others include Fortune and Cursed variants, and Sprite Mastery rewards have returned with cosmetic unlocks that encourage continued collecting.
