The Pollo Sprite is one of the newest and rarest companions added to Fortnite. Introduced during Chapter 7 Season 3, this Mythic Sprite is inspired by professional Fortnite player Pollo and has quickly become one of the most sought-after collectibles in the game. Since it has a very low drop rate, many players have been wondering where it spawns, how to unlock it permanently, and what makes it worth the effort.
What Is the Pollo Sprite?
The Pollo Sprite is a Mythic companion introduced in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3. Unlike many other Sprites that are based on in-game themes or crossover characters, this one celebrates Pollo, a well-known professional Fortnite player.
Because it belongs to the Mythic rarity tier, it is significantly harder to find than regular Sprites. Players may need to search through several matches before finally getting lucky enough to discover one.
Where to Find the Pollo Sprite
The Pollo Sprite does not have a guaranteed spawn location. Instead, it can appear from high-value loot sources throughout the island.
Your best chances include:
- Sprite Chests
- Rare Chests
- Loot dropped by defeated players carrying the Pollo Sprite
Among these options, Sprite Chests offer the highest chance of finding the Pollo Sprite. Although the drop rate is still very low, opening as many Sprite Chests as possible during each match gives you the best opportunity to obtain one.
Rare Chests can also reward the Sprite, but they are generally less reliable because they contain a wider variety of Mythic loot.
How to Get the Pollo Sprite
Getting the Pollo Sprite requires both luck and survival. Follow these steps to maximize your chances.
- Land near areas that contain multiple Sprite Chest spawn locations.
- Open every Sprite Chest you encounter.
- Check Rare Chests whenever possible.
- Eliminate opponents who may already be carrying the Pollo Sprite.
- Pick up the Sprite immediately once you find it.
Finding the Sprite is only the first half of the process. You still need to extract it successfully if you want it permanently added to your collection.
How to Keep the Pollo Sprite Forever
Unlike standard loot, simply finding the Pollo Sprite is not enough.
To permanently unlock it, you must successfully extract it before being eliminated.
You can do this by:
- Carrying the Sprite to an Extraction Site.
- Using a Portable Extractor if you have one available.
Once the extraction is completed, the Pollo Sprite becomes part of your permanent collection. If you are eliminated before extracting, you lose the Sprite and must start searching again in another match.
For this reason, many experienced players recommend heading directly to an Extraction Site after obtaining the Sprite instead of continuing to loot or fight.
Pollo Sprite Ability
The Pollo Sprite provides a useful defensive bonus that benefits both solo players and squads.
Its ability slowly restores Shield for you and nearby teammates after earning an elimination. As the Sprite levels up, the duration of this Shield regeneration increases, making it especially valuable during extended team fights.
This passive support effect rewards aggressive gameplay while helping squads stay healthy without immediately using healing items.
Tips to Find the Pollo Sprite Faster
Since the Pollo Sprite is extremely rare, every advantage matters.
Here are a few useful tips:
- Prioritize landing near multiple Sprite Chest locations.
- Open every Sprite Chest before searching regular buildings.
- Play Squads so teammates can help locate the Sprite.
- Eliminate players carrying Mythic Sprites whenever possible.
- Extract immediately after obtaining the Sprite.
- Keep Portable Extractors in your inventory whenever available.
Patience is important because you may need several matches before finally finding one.
