Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 introduced Sprites as a core mechanic, and Sprite Chests are the main way to find them. There are 33 of these chests spread across the new Shattered Coast map. If you want to grow your collection fast, knowing exactly where they spawn saves a lot of time.
What Is a Sprite Chest?
Sprite Chests are a new container type added in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3. Opening one guarantees you a Sprite along with a loot item. They look different from regular chests. The containers resemble ancient chests with a blue glow and a pink crystal on top. When you are near one, it plays a sound similar to the Vault Chests from Chapter 2.
They are not as common as standard loot chests or Relic Chests (the blue rare tier ones), but they are easy to spot once you know the area.
One thing to keep in mind: Sprite Chests spawn randomly at known locations. Not every spot will have a chest in every match. The list below covers all confirmed spawn points, not guaranteed spawns per game.
What Do Sprites Do?
Sprites are small companion spirits that float alongside you as a Back Bling during matches. They provide passive abilities and change how you play. In Chapter 7 Season 3, the mechanic works differently from Chapter 6. You need to locate Sprites across the map and bring them to an extraction point to add them to your collection for use in future matches. If another player eliminates you, your Sprite drops and becomes available for them to grab.
Each Sprite has a different buff. The Earth Sprite, for example, gives you a chance to find additional rare items when opening chests.
Gold variants exist too. Gold Sprites share the same base ability as their standard versions but add a bonus effect. Every elimination grants 1,600 XP, which can add up to between 5,000 and 10,000 XP across a few kills in one match.

Sinister Strip has the highest concentration of Sprite Chests in one area at four. Calamari Canyon, Heatwave Harbor, Shaken Sanctuary, and Wonkeeland each have three.
Vaults are another reliable way to find Sprite Chests. Small vaults contain a rare chest, Slurp barrels, and a Sprite Chest. Large Sprite Vaults, opened with a legendary keycard, contain multiple Sprite Chests along with high-rarity loot and regular chests.
The two epic Sprite Vaults are located at Frosted Flats and Sinister Strip. Both are underground. Head to the marked POI and find the ladder entrance to get in.
Keys and keycards drop randomly from chests across the map. There is no fixed NPC or floor spawn tied to them this Fortnite season.
