Sprite Gizmo Fortnite — Use a Sprite Gizmo

What You Need

• Gizmos are not found as floor loot or in Chests. You unlock them by progressing Sprite Mastery through your Sprite collection, or by buying eligible ones at Extraction Sites during a match. ^{[search-ca6b62836cd4]}
• Check the Gizmo Wheel at the start of a match to see which tools you have unlocked; if only a few show up, keep building Sprite Mastery for more options. ^{[search-ca6b62836cd4]}

Step-by-Step

1. Switch to your Pickaxe. Gizmos live in the Pickaxe slot rather than your five inventory slots, so your weapons and heals stay untouched.^{[search-ca6b62836cd4]}

2. Hold the Pickaxe button instead of tapping it to open the Gizmo Wheel, then move your mouse or controller stick to highlight the Gizmo you want.^{[search-ca6b62836cd4]}

3. Let go of the button to activate the highlighted Gizmo. Only one can be active at a time, but you can swap between them instantly.^{[search-ca6b62836cd4]}

4. Match the tool to your goal: the Portable Extractor extracts Sprites anywhere on the island, the Sprite Locator detects nearby buried Sprite Chests, and the Extraction Site Booster increases Sprite Dust from Boosted Extraction Crates.^{[search-ca6b62836cd4]}

5. If you get attacked while using a Gizmo like the Portable Extractor, you can cancel it mid-use and get straight back into the fight.^{[search-ca6b62836cd4]}

6. For the "Use a Gizmo From Your Pickaxe Slot" quest, just open the Gizmo Wheel and activate any Gizmo you have — the Portable Extractor is not required.^{[search-ca6b62836cd4]}

Common Mistakes

• Don't linger in the Gizmo Wheel during a fight — you are vulnerable while selecting a Gizmo and cannot defend yourself. ^{[search-ca6b62836cd4]}
• Save the Portable Extractor for rare Sprites (Mythic, Galaxy, or Special) so you don't risk losing them while travelling to an Extraction Site. ^{[search-ca6b62836cd4]}
