The Vini Jr. Sprite is one of the newest Mythic companions added to Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, inspired by Brazilian football star Vinícius Júnior. Besides being one of the rarest Sprites in the game, it also grants a powerful combat ability that can turn the tide of close-range fights.

Here's exactly how to find Vini Jr. Sprite, permanently unlock it, and make the most of its unique ability.

Where to find the Vini Jr. Sprite: Location

Unlike some other Sprites, the Vini Jr. Sprite does not have a guaranteed spawn location.

Instead, it can be obtained from:

• Sprite Chests (best method)
• Rare Chests
• Standard Chests
• Wandering spawns near the Soccer Field

Since it's a Mythic Sprite, its drop rate is extremely low, meaning you may need to open multiple chests across several matches before finding one. Sprite Chests offer the highest chance, making them the best loot source to prioritize.

Can you get it from other players?

Yes.

If another player is carrying a Vini Jr. Sprite, eliminating them causes the Sprite to drop, allowing you to pick it up yourself, or you can trade Sprites too. This can sometimes be much faster than relying on chest RNG.

How to get the Fortnite Vini Jr. Sprite

Finding the Sprite isn't enough; you must extract it before the match ends. Here's how:

1. Pick up the Vini Jr. Sprite.
2. Carry it to an Extraction Site or use a Portable Extractor.

3. Complete the extraction process.
4. The Sprite is permanently added to your collection.

If you're eliminated before extracting it, you'll have to find another one in a future match.

Vini Jr. Sprite ability explained

The Vini Jr. Sprite rewards aggressive playstyles like how he does in the green field.

After sprinting for a short time, your next slide becomes a destructive slide, dealing damage to enemies and structures. Performing a successful slide kick grants temporary buffs to:

• Fire rate
• Reload speed

Additionally, the Sprite provides increased structure damage while sprinting and activates an Overdrive effect while sliding.

Level scaling

The Vini Jr. Sprite becomes stronger as it levels up, increasing both slide damage and fire rate bonuses:

• Level 1: 40 damage / +10% fire rate
• Level 2: 45 damage / +20% fire rate
• Level 3: 50 damage / +30% fire rate
• Level 4: 55 damage / +40% fire rate
• Level 5: 60 damage / +50% fire rate

These buffs make it especially effective in close-range engagements where mobility and rapid firing are key.

Is Fortnite Vini Jr. Sprite rare?

Yes. The Vini Jr. Sprite is currently one of the rarest Sprites in Fortnite.

It has Mythic rarity, only drops from Sprite Chests (and certain high-tier chest sources), and doesn't have Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, or other special variants, making the base Sprite itself the collectible. Because of its low drop rate, you may need to open dozens of Sprite Chests across multiple matches before finding one, although you can also obtain it by eliminating another player who is carrying it.

Best tips for finding the Vini Jr. Sprite

If you're farming the Sprite, these strategies will improve your odds:

• Land near areas with multiple Sprite Chests.
• Check the Soccer Field for wandering spawns.
• Open every Rare Chest and standard Chest you find.
• Eliminate players who already have Mythic Sprites equipped.
• Carry a Portable Extractor so you can secure the Sprite immediately after finding it.
• Keep moving—opening more chests per match increases your chances significantly.

Is the Vini Jr. Sprite worth using?

Absolutely. It also comes with free rewards!
