Ironmouse Sprite arrives in Fortnite, grants regen and cloak, teases more content

Ironmouse’s Sprite item launched in Fortnite on August 4 as a standalone addition to mark her streaming anniversary. The Sprite can be found in Sprite Chests, by eliminating a player wearing it, or wandering the island, and equipping it occupies a new back-slot that shows Ironmouse, regenerates health when low, and grants a partial Cloak plus low gravity during healing. Players encountered issues such as the Sprite not being granted on match exit and empty Sprite Chests; several hotfixes were released to address those problems. Ironmouse also teased a September subathon and hinted that additional Fortnite content could follow.

• Released August 4 as a standalone item to celebrate Ironmouse’s streaming anniversary.
• Acquisition methods: search Sprite Chests, kill an opponent wearing the Sprite, or find it randomly on the island.
• Equipping the Sprite uses a new inventory slot, displays Ironmouse on your back, regenerates health when low, grants a partial Cloak (partial invisibility) and applies a low-gravity effect while healing.
• Players reported bugs (missing Sprite on extraction and empty Sprite Chests); several hotfixes were issued to address the reported problems, and Ironmouse hinted at more content tied to a September subathon.
