Seven new Fortnite Sprites have been added in the August 6 update, including the much-anticipated Gem variants. Here is the Fortnite Gem Sprites release time, their powers, and where you can find every new Sprite added to the battle royale.

All 7 New Fortnite Sprites Added on August 6

Seven new Fortnite Sprites were added to the game on August 6 as part of the weekly New Sprite Day update. With Gem Sprites finally making their debut today, that brings the total number of Fortnite Sprites to 117 in Chapter 7 Season 3.

Update: Its appears Gem Punk has been scrapped from the game. So there is only Seven Sprites added today and not eight.

The Gem Llama Sprite and Ironmouse Sprite were both technically released early, which means players will only need to hunt down the eight remaining Gem variants to complete their collection. When equipped, the new Fortnite Gem Sprites give players 30% less fall damage.

For your convenience, here is the complete list of the eight Fortnite Sprites added in today’s update and where you can find them:

Complete List of Fortnite Gem Sprites Added on August 8

Sprite	Location
Gem Water Sprite	Rivers and beaches
Gem Earth Sprite	Forests
Gem Demon Sprite	Sprite Chests
Gem Duck Sprite	Mogul Vault
Gem Aura Sprite	Mountainous areas
Gem Zero Point Sprite	Sprite Chests and Relic Chests
Gem Grim Sprite	Sprite Chests

Gem Demon, Gem Zero Point, and Gem Grim may be the most difficult variants to obtain because they are rare drops from Sprite Chests. Gem Duck also has a unique location, as it can usually be found inside the Mogul Vault.

How many gem sprites are in fortnite?

There are only a total of eight Gem Sprites in Fortnite. For reasons currently unknown, Epic Games has decided to scrap the Gem Punk sprite at the last second. It’s unclear if it will eventually be brought back.

However, the in-game menu no longer has a countdown clock for when new sprites will be added. So many insiders believe the final Fortnite Sprites total will stay at 117, and Gem Punk will was cut content from the game.

Here is a list of every Fortnite Gem Sprite:

• Gem Water Sprite
• Gem Earth Sprite
• Gem Demon Sprite
• Gem Aura Sprite
• Gem Duck Sprite
• Gem Llama Sprite
• Gem Zero Point Sprite
• Gem Grim Sprite
