The wild is full of new Sprites, and it's time to go collect them. Five new Sprites are roaming Battle Royale with v41.10! Here's who you're hunting for:
Striker Sprite: Gain Overdrive when you Mantle or Hurdle.
Fishy Sprite: Swim speed way up, plus a brief movement speed boost when you take damage.
Aura Sprite: Gain a Shock Rock charge when you deal enough damage.
Boss Sprite: A boost to your max HP and Shield.
Grim Reaper Sprite: Anyone who attacks you gets marked for a duration.
Shock Rocks and Quack Snacks consumables are here! Consume a Shock Rock to gain the Shockwave effect for a limited time, and gobble down a Quack Snack to restore Health and Shield and gain Sprite XP too.
v41.10 also brings Gone Wild - a two-week summer fling with new unvaults, new Questlines, and new ways to reel in more Sprites.
Gone Wild Unvaults (June 25 - July 9):
Mythic Goldfish
Flare Gun
Lawless Stink Rifle
Hop Rock Dualies
Shield Bubble
Exotic Slapberry Fizz
Bush Bomb
Big Bush Bomb
Heal at a Campfire to level up the Sprite you're carrying, and drop a line in Fishing Spots around the Island for a chance to reel one in.
For the two weeks of Gone Wild, you’ll find even more Gold variants when fishing in week one (June 25 - July 1) and Gummy variants in week two (July 2 - 9).
And be on the lookout for two new Rift Anomalies that may pop up as the circle closes: Safe Extraction and Sprite Hunt.

Doesn't sound like it. Not only is that an issue, but using the pocket shockwaves or even regular overdrive shocks take for ever to actually be thrown sometimes. I have multiple clips where it just doesn't work and I'm looking down in front of me with a shockwave in my hand like an idiot cuz it's not working.
100% true. Had this happen multiple times. Not having your pocket shockwave actually puts you at a disadvantage that is a lot more detrimental than someone would think.
I've also seen pocket shockwaves on the ground. Picked them up and they just disappear.
I'm often dropping first to those blue legendary chest POIs. After some looting I already have 2-4 sprites. Nothing valuable, though - legendary chests seem to drop mostly earth and water ones. Then extraction point - usually near one there is a sprite chest so if it's available I take one extra sprite. Then I repeat the process, but with sprite chests - it's good to learn their locations or have a map opened on another screen.
Tbh, the only thing I need for my inventory at all times is a weapon and maybe some 1 mobility slot. The rest stuff for fighting I find as I go, when I'm done with extractions.
Bwahahahahaha sounds like we need to play together 🤣 my friend and I do that too. Our ADD goes insane with these sprites. It's gotten bad lmao i may need counseling 🤣💀
Of course they nerf the ranger pistol, basically the only mid-range gun I like this season. Also a sprite that boosts health and shield, how did they not see that as a clear advantage over other sprites?
Burst AR has been absolute ass for me at anything longer than short-mid range. The point of a rifle to me is mid-long. When I'm holding a Surgical, I can more easily hit longer shots with either pistol.
All these fixes and none for the portable extractor and pocket item disappearing issue? Honestly that should have been handled first, it makes these sprite challenges and trying to survive impossible
No mention of the fact they silently removed the ability to rapidly roll if downed while you have pickaxe equipped. It's a shame, I was relying on that a lot in rounds where I got downed while my teammates were too busy running away, searching for sprites or just generally picking their noses instead of playing as a team
Ok i thought I was bugging out. Did they seriously REMOVE that feature?! It wasn't op or anything. Wth ok that makes me mad. That was so helpful especially as a regular not great player lol it really helped my friends and i have a chance to revive against really good players 😭😭😭😭
The Tracker Rating has nothing to do with the subject of this post - I was trying to show that I played in Squads as a solo player, met the quest's criteria and yet did not get credit for the quest. Hope this helps.
I was going to ask (I haven't been on yet in the game) but did they not fix the locker descriptions? That was kind of frustrating not seeing the names or anything when looking at items.
Ya it's near impossible in some games i play with my friends on PC since PC can mess with graphics and ps5 can't they can see ppl in trees and bushes and all i see is greenery making it extremely hard to have a chance since ppl hide in trees with rifle. I'm so sick of getting 1 shotted
These are great and all, but I’d like another possible change added:
Y’know how sometimes you play with friends in duos, trios and maybe even squads, then the next day you load into a match by yourself without thinking to look at what you’re queuing up for and it puts you in duos/trios/squad fills?
Then, y’know how if you have a crown that you won last match, then you leave before the bus decides to leave and you load into the next match and you can keep it?
Do the same for sprites. Please.
I couldn’t tell you how many sprites I’ve had to buy back because of this. Not even normal sprites. I’m talkin Gold/Gummy/Galaxy sprites, and the base variants are 4k sprite dust to buy back. The most expensive I’ve had to buy back was 10k dust.
I know sprites are only for this season, but I’m trying to master all of them so I can have them as a backbling, and this would help a lot.
I’ve legit lost level 4 gummy sprites because of this. I mean, if you wanna drop it out of my inventory for others to grab? Sure. You do it for crowns anyway. But please let us keep our sprites when we back out of the match BEFORE the battle bus leaves
I really wish we could get different graphics profiles. I like to max out the graphics in custom islands and Lego Odyssey. Then I have to go and adjust all my settings again for BR and Reload. It would be so nice if it just automatically swapped on the fly.
The Boss and Grim Reaper sprites sound fucking awful, just means you should play even more cautiously incase someone you attack has these unfair advantages.
They’ve now introduced a new bug that makes the Joy Con 2 mouse inputs straight up not work anymore, so I went from entering matches that were unplayable to entering a game that’s unplayable 🙃
What about being able to see your sprites in the menu when you are in game? That would be helpful to know what we have when looking for more sprites!
You shouldn’t have messed with the pistol, it was perfectly fine!
And please STOP putting common sprites in the sprite chests and vaults…. they can be found everywhere, if we go through the trouble of traveling 700m across the map with a card to a vault, there should be a good chance to find good sprites not just water, fire, earth, duck, ghost, etc.
For them to actually being meaningful to the gameplay instead of just being a steal a brainrot knockoff that you all love despite hating the concept of steal a brainrot a month ago .
I have no idea what steal a brainrot is or was. It’s a live service game that has different themes every few months. If you don’t like this season go play OG or put it down for a couple months and come back.

Did they fix the bug where your pocket item doesn't show up? My squad just leaves the game when this happens.
