Sprites have also remained on the island, and while both Water Sprites and Wind Sprites are pretty widespread, Earth Sprites are rather hard to find—but offer a surefire way to acquire Legendary weapons.

All Earth Sprite Locations in Fortnite

How To Trade Items With Earth Sprites

Earth Sprites are unique critters in Fortnite that are primarily used by players to trade items. To trade an item with an Earth Sprite, players can simply approach it and press the Interact Button while having the item they want to trade equipped. The Earth Sprite will then consume the item, chew it, and then spit out another weapon of Legendary rarity.

Earth Sprites are a fantastic way to obtain top-tier weapons in Chapter 6, albeit the items players will receive are completely random. However, players should be cautious not to trade their best weapon, as once done, it cannot be reclaimed once the Earth Sprite consumes it. After trading with an Earth Sprite, players will also need to wait a while before they can trade again.
