How to get X-Ray Sprite in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 4
Developed over time first seen 4 hours ago
This is a Fortnite Chapter 7, Season 4 guide explaining how players can obtain the X-Ray Sprite, a Legendary-tier companion introduced through the game's Design A Sprite competition. As a Legendary item, it is one of the rarest Sprites available on the island, and its introduction gives players a new collectible to pursue and a fresh ability to use during matches.
There is currently no guaranteed method or fixed spawn location for finding the X-Ray Sprite; players must loot around the island and rely on chance, as with most other Sprites. Once obtained, the X-Ray Sprite periodically marks nearby enemies, functioning similarly to the game's Scout Specialist NPCs.

Fortnite's ongoing Design A Sprite competition has begun delivering its winning creations to the island, and among the new arrivals is the X-Ray Sprite, a Legendary companion that has quickly become one of the most sought-after finds of Chapter 7, Season 4. As with other Sprites, players collecting the full set or looking to put its abilities to use will need to track one down themselves, and with the island as sprawling as it is, that search can take some patience.
There is currently no confirmed fixed spawn point or guaranteed way to obtain the X-Ray Sprite. Because it sits at the Legendary tier, it ranks among the rarest of its kind, and the only approach available for now is general looting across the map, since any of the usual Sprite-granting activities carries a chance of yielding it. Some Sprites have previously been tied to specific locations or reliable acquisition methods, but no such shortcut has yet emerged for this one, though that could change as the season progresses and Epic Games introduces further updates.
Once secured, the X-Ray Sprite's appeal lies in its passive ability to periodically reveal nearby enemies, a function broadly comparable to the intel provided by Scout Specialist NPCs that players may already be familiar with from earlier hiring mechanics. This makes it a useful pickup for anyone wanting an edge in spotting opponents around them, on top of its value as a collectible.
Separately, players working through Geno's story quest line have flagged the X-Ray Sprite in a different context: it is one of several rare Sprites, alongside the Klombo and Crown Sprites, worth leaving behind before confronting Geno at the centre of the island. That encounter cannot actually be won, since Geno eliminates any player who attacks him, and the associated mission is completed simply by dying to him and then landing back on the island in the next match, making it wise to avoid risking valuable Sprites in the process.
Where outlets differ
Source 1 (Destructoid's X-Ray Sprite guide) is dedicated entirely to explaining the Sprite's rarity, lack of a guaranteed spawn, and its enemy-marking ability, treating it as a standalone collectible goal.
Source 2 (Destructoid's Geno guide) is primarily about locating and 'defeating' Geno as part of his story quests, and only references the X-Ray Sprite in passing, as one of several rare Sprites players should avoid carrying into that unwinnable fight.
Only Source 1 addresses how to actually go about acquiring the X-Ray Sprite; Source 2 offers no acquisition advice and instead provides risk-management context for players who already have one.
