Golden & Void Sprite – How to Find the Rarest Ones

|---|---|---|
| Golden | 3% chance at any Sprite spawn point | Visit maximum spawn locations |
| Void | Only at Mythic POIs after Circle 3 | Land Mythic areas + survive |
The Golden Sprite is the rarest — revealing every chest and supply drop on the entire map for 15 seconds. When you activate it, the minimap lights up like a Christmas tree, letting you grab the best loot before anyone else!
The Void Sprite is even harder to find — only spawning at Mythic POIs after the third circle closes. Its teleportation ability lets you escape ANY dangerous situation instantly, making it the ultimate survival tool!

Sprite Hunting Tips That Separate Casuals From Pros
| Tip | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Land near Sprite spawn clusters | Maximize collection opportunities |
| Carry 2 Sprites always | Never leave empty-handed |
| Save rare Sprites for final circle | Golden/Void win endgames |
| Listen for Sprite chime sounds | Audio cue reveals nearby spawns |
| Check storm edge during rotation | Lightning Sprites spawn there often |
| Activate immediately if low HP | Earth Sprite = free 50 shield |
Sprite Spawn Respawn Timer
| Phase of Match | Spawn Rate | Rare Sprite Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Early game (Circle 1) | High spawn rate | 1% chance |
| Mid game (Circle 2-3) | Moderate spawn rate | 2% chance |
| Late game (Circle 4+) | Lower spawn rate | 3% chance |
| Final circles | Very rare spawns | 5% chance (Void only) |
Interestingly, rare Sprite chances INCREASE as the match progresses — meaning late-game Sprite hunting can yield the most valuable finds!
