The Honey Sprite is a special collectible introduced in Fortnite Battle Royale during the Fortnitemares 2026 event. Added with update v42.40 on October 15, 2026, this unique Sprite brings a useful ability to combat by sending bees toward the location where you damage enemies with ranged weapons. Finding one can take several attempts, but knowing which loot sources to prioritize makes the process easier.
Where to Find the Honey Sprite in Fortnite
The Honey Sprite does not have one confirmed, permanent spawn location. Instead, you must search the island for loot that can contain Sprites during Fortnitemares 2026.
Your best options include:
- Pumpkin Chests scattered across the island.
- Regular and rare chests found in buildings and other locations.
- Pumpkin objects that can be smashed for potential rewards.
- Eligible Trick or Treat Cheat Codes available during the event.
Among these options, Pumpkin Chests are the best place to start. They provide a reliable way to obtain a Sprite, although they do not guarantee that the reward will be Honey. You may receive a different Sprite, so keep searching if you do not find the one you need.
1. Search Pumpkin Chests First
Pumpkin Chests are your main priority when looking for the Honey Sprite. These special containers appear across the island during Fortnitemares and provide Sprites from the active seasonal pool.
Start your match by landing near an area with several buildings and loot containers. Collect a weapon for protection, then search the surrounding area for Pumpkin Chests.
Open every chest you find and check the Sprite you receive. If you get another type, continue searching instead of spending too much time in the same location.
A few useful tips can make your search more efficient:
- Choose a landing spot with multiple nearby loot containers.
- Search quickly before other players collect the available loot.
- Avoid unnecessary fights while moving between chests.
- Rotate to another area if your landing spot has already been looted.
Remember that finding a Pumpkin Chest does not guarantee the Honey Sprite itself. You may need to search several locations or play multiple matches.
2. Check Regular Chests and Rare Chests
If Pumpkin Chests are difficult to find, expand your search to ordinary and rare chests. These containers can also provide Sprites, although the chances of receiving a particular Sprite are not guaranteed.
Search houses, buildings, and other loot-rich areas as you move across the island. Rather than travelling long distances for a single chest, include regular containers in your existing route.
You should also smash nearby Pumpkin objects when you encounter them. They can provide additional opportunities to obtain seasonal rewards.
3. Try Trick or Treat Cheat Codes
Fortnitemares 2026 also introduces Trick or Treat Cheat Codes, which offer another possible way to receive rewards during the event.
Check the available in-game event information to see which codes are active. If an eligible code provides an additional Sprite or reward, it can give you another opportunity to find the Honey Sprite.
However, do not assume that every code guarantees this specific collectible. Available rewards can vary, and no confirmed method guarantees the Honey Sprite through a code.
What Does the Honey Sprite Do?
The Honey Sprite has a distinctive combat ability. When you deal damage with a ranged weapon, it has a chance to spawn bees at the location where your attack hits.
This effect can put additional pressure on opponents during a fight. The bees may help disrupt an enemy’s position while you continue attacking from a distance.
However, the ability is chance-based. Bees will not necessarily appear after every successful shot, and the published description does not establish a guaranteed activation rate.
To make use of the ability:
- Find and equip the Honey Sprite.
- Engage opponents using a ranged weapon.
- Deal damage and watch for the bee effect to activate.
- Continue fighting while using the extra pressure to your advantage.
The Honey Sprite is particularly interesting for players who prefer ranged combat and want an additional effect during encounters.
Can You Find the Honey Sprite in Every Game Mode?
Not necessarily. Sprites are unavailable in competitive modes, so searching there will not help you obtain one. Play an eligible non-competitive Battle Royale mode while the relevant Fortnitemares content remains active.
