The John Wick sprite, introduced in Fortnite update v41.30, is a specialized item exclusive to the Fortnite Reload game mode. Players looking to add this to their collection will need to focus their efforts specifically within Reload, as the sprite does not spawn in standard Battle Royale matches.

How to Locate the John Wick Sprite

Because the John Wick sprite is a rare drop, finding one requires targeting high-density loot areas. Follow these steps to maximize your chances:

  1. Focus on Rare Chests: While the sprite can appear in standard wooden chests, the spawn rate is significantly higher in rare chests.
  2. Target Named Locations: Drop into high-density loot areas, such as Springfield Town Square, to increase the number of chests you can open.
  3. Listen for Audio Cues: Rare chests emit a distinct sound. Keep your volume up while exploring to identify them quickly.
  4. Eliminate Opponents: If you spot an enemy carrying the sprite, you can eliminate them to claim it from their loot.

Benefit: Successfully acquiring the John Wick sprite grants the ability to reveal nearby enemies immediately after you knock down a player.

How to Extract the Sprite

Since there are no physical extraction sites on the map, you must use specific methods to secure the sprite for your collection:

  • Use a Reload Portable Extractor: This is the most reliable method. You can purchase the extractor from a vending machine for 50 gold bars. It may also occasionally appear as floor loot or inside chests.
  • Win the Match: If you are holding the John Wick sprite when your team wins the match, it will be extracted automatically.

Given the difficulty of winning a match, utilizing a vending machine to secure a Portable Extractor is the recommended path for most players.
