Sprites have become one of the most obsessive mechanics Fortnite has ever introduced. What returned in Chapter 7 Season 3 as a simple set of three companion creatures has now snowballed into a 25-strong roster, each with up to eight possible finishes, including Base, Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, Holofoil, Gem, Quack, and Cube.
Every finish keeps the Sprite’s core ability but stacks on a bonus effect, and the rarer finishes drop at such a low rate that they’re measured in ten-millionths of a percent. The latest line of sprites added to the game was the Gem variant, which went live on August 6, introducing a new rarest pull. These are the ten hardest Sprites to find in the game right now.

These two Epic-tier Gem pulls tie for the tenth spot. Gem Duck carries Duck’s shield-on-emote ability, while Gem Demon keeps Demon’s elimination lifesteal, and both add the Gem line’s 30% reduced fall damage.
At 4,000 Dust to summon once unlocked, they’re also among the pricier Epic variants in the game.
9. Gem Aura

Aura’s Gem finish ends up granting a Shock Rock charge on enough damage dealt plus the fall-damage discount. It comes at the price of 4,000 Dust, and is the hardest to actually earn from a chest.
8. Gold Aura & Gold Striker

Both June 25 additions share a rate of 0.07% drop on their Gold finish, which layers a 3x bonus elimination XP onto their respective Shock Rock and Overdrive abilities. Older variant types like Gold tend to get overshadowed by the newer Gem, Quack, and Cube lines, but on these two Sprites, Gold is still rarer than every other special finish besides Cube and Galaxy.
7. Cube Punk, Cube Dream & Cube Boss

There is a three-way tie for seventh place on this list. All three carry the Cube line’s dark purple, glyph-covered coating over their base Legendary abilities, which are Punk’s mystery effect, Dream’s escalating random loot, and Boss’s HP and Shield boost. Cube variants summon for 6,750 Dust at this rarity tier.
6. Cube Batman & Galaxy Aura/ Galaxy Striker

Coming in at just a drop percentage of 0.02%, this is yet another three-way tie. Cube Batman wraps the Bat Cape glide ability in the same corrupted look as the other Cube entries, while the Galaxy versions of Aura and Striker add 30% more ammo pickup on top of their base effects, done up in the line’s signature star-flecked purple coloring.
5. Gem Grim

Grim was already the single rarest Base Sprite in the game, so its Gem Finish, which marks attackers along with its fall-damage perk, inherits that scarcity from the base variant. At 10,000 Dust to summon, it’s also one of the most expensive pulls in the entire Sprite pool.
4. Holofoil Zero Point

Coming in at a drop rate of 0.00028%, Zero Point’s Holofoil finish adds a squad-wide 5% chance to find rare Sprite variants from chests, stacked on top of its Shield Bubble Jr. ability. It’s roughly three times rarer than Gem Grim, and one of only two Holofoils (alongside Holofoil Grim) that sit at the very bottom of that variant line’s drop table.
3. Grim (Base)

Even without a special finish, Grim’s plain Base version is rarer than most other Sprites’ rarest variants. It holds the title of lowest Base drop rate of any Sprite in the game, which is part of why it gets singled out in-game as the rarest Sprite independent of the Gem and Cube arms race happening around it.
2. Cube Zero Point

With a drop rate of 0.000014%, you’d need to crack open millions of chests to have decent odds of a single pull. Cube Zero Point held the overall record for the rarest Sprite in Fortnite for about a week before the streak broke in early August.
1. Gem Zero Point

The current record holder of being the rarest sprite in the game with a drop rate of 0.00001%, Gem Zero Point is roughly 40% harder to pull than second-place Cube Zero Point. Zero Point’s frosted, glass-like Gem finish overtook Cube Zero Point the moment the Gem line launched on August 6, and nothing else in the pool comes close. Between the drop rate and its 10,000 Dust summon cost, it’s currently the single hardest pull tied to the Sprite system.
