Fortnite Treasure Hunters’ roster of Sprites is certainly unique, with many keeping in line with the pirate theme. During this month-long season, players only have a limited time to get every Sprite before Chapter 8, some of which are relatively tough to find. Here is how you can get the Wayfinder Sprite in Fortnite, which will arguably be your best tool for completing your Sprite Collection.
How to Get a Wayfinder Sprite in Fortnite

The Wayfinder Sprite is arguably one of the easiest to get in Fortnite Treasure Hunters. Since it is a rare Sprite, it is a pretty common drop in regular Treasure Chests, along with also potentially dropping from Sprite Chests too. Since the Sprite is common, it’s often best not to use your Lucky Locators until after you secure the base version, and instead stick to opening just Chests and other containers.
The Wayfinder is also one of the many Sprites to have additional variants, including the Chest marking Fortune variant and the Wayfinder Cursed version. Here is every variant of the Wayfinder Sprite currently arriving to the loot pool:

The Cursed Sprite variants arrive with the November 7 New Sprite Day. If you are reading this before the Sprite arrives in-game, be sure to save up your Lucky Locators and avoid wasting them trying to get it.
What Does the Wayfinder Sprite Do in Fortnite?

The Wayfinder Sprite is by far the best option for those looking to find other rare Sprites during the mini-season. When equipped, it will mark and reveal nearby Sprites, with the detection radius increasing with each level-up. This essentially makes it much easier to find Sprites that may be hiding inside buildings or out in the environment.
The Wayfinder Sprite also has the added benefit of providing extra loot from Buried Chests, including Sprite Chests found using Sprite Treasure Maps, Sprite Locators, and Lucky Locator Gizmos. This is similar to the Chester Sprite’s ability, albeit more situational.
