Earth Sprites are one of the many new ideas added to Fortnite in Chapter 6 Season 1.
For one of the Week 1 quests, you’ve been tasked with giving an Earth Sprite a weapon. When you interact with an Earth Sprite, you’re able to trade a weapon and receive legendary one in return. The only problem is there are 22 Earth Sprite locations, and only five of them spawn per game.
Here’s where you can find all of the Earth Sprite spawn locations in Fortnite, and the fastest way to complete the quest.
Update (Jan. 14): As part of a weekly update, developer Epic has made it easier to find Earth Sprites with dedicated icons on the map, as well as increasing their frequency from two spawns to five per match.
How to find Earth Sprite locations in Fortnite
There are a total of 22 Earth Sprites in Chapter 6 Season 1 of Fortnite, but only five will spawn on the map at a time.

As such, the fastest way to give an Earth Sprite a weapon is to start a new game and check your map on the battle bus for the Earth Sprite icons. Drop onto one of the five locations, and quickly search for a weapon on the ground or in a chest. Once you find one, give the Earth Sprite the weapon to upgrade it and finish the quest.
