The Striker Sprite is one of the newest collectible Sprites introduced in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, and unlike most Sprites, you can’t simply find it inside a Sprite Chest. Instead, you’ll need to complete a special objective at a hidden Soccer Pitch before you can add it to your collection.
If you’re wondering where to find the Soccer Pitch and how to unlock the Striker Sprite, here’s everything you need to know.
How to Get the Striker Sprite
Getting the Striker Sprite is surprisingly simple if you know where to go.
Head to the hidden Soccer Pitch located in the southwest corner of the island.
Find the football sitting on the field and kick it into either goal. As soon as the ball crosses the goal line, confetti will appear, and the Striker Sprite will spawn beside the net.
Walk over and collect it before another player grabs it.
If you want to permanently unlock the Sprite, make sure to extract it before leaving the match.
Soccer Pitch Location
The Soccer Pitch is an unnamed Point of Interest located on a small island in the southwest part of the Fortnite map.
You can find it:
- South of Heatwave Harbor
- West of Sunken Shores
- On a small island featuring a full-sized football field
Although the location doesn’t have a map label, the green football pitch is easy to spot from the Battle Bus or when zooming in on the map.
Step-by-Step Guide
Once you’ve landed at the Soccer Pitch, follow these steps:
- Land directly on the football field.
- Locate the football near the center circle. If another player has already kicked it, search around the field.
- Sprint into the ball to kick it.
- Score a goal in either net.
- Wait for the confetti celebration.
- Pick up the Striker Sprite that appears beside the goal.
- Use the nearby Extraction Point to permanently unlock it for your collection.
What Does the Striker Sprite Do?
The Striker Sprite grants the Overdrive buff whenever you, Mantle, Hurdle, or Wall Scramble
Overdrive provides several powerful bonuses, like Faster movement speed, Increased weapon fire rate, and faster reload speed
These buffs make the Striker Sprite particularly effective during aggressive close-range fights and fast-paced rotations.
Can You Find the Striker Sprite in Chests?
No. The guaranteed way to obtain the Striker Sprite is by scoring a goal at the Soccer Pitch.
You may occasionally obtain one by eliminating another player who already has it, but it does not normally spawn inside standard Sprite Chests.
Tips for Unlocking the Striker Sprite Quickly
Since the Soccer Pitch is one of the hottest drop locations after the update, expect plenty of competition.
Before scoring your goal, activate the nearby Extraction Point so it’s ready when you collect the Sprite. This reduces the time you spend exposed to enemy players.
If you’re playing in Squads, teammates can provide cover while you complete the objective.
If the football isn’t where you expect it to be, another player has probably kicked it. Search around both goals and the sidelines until you find it.
With powerful Overdrive ability, the Striker Sprite is well worth unlocking, especially if you enjoy aggressive gameplay and fast mobility during matches.
