How to get Ironmouse Sprite in Fortnite

After Hoshimachi Suisei got its own Fortnite cosmetics, Ironmouse is the next virtual internet celebrity to arrive in the highly popular online game. However, unlike the former, the latter has joined Fortnite’s growing sprite catalog, with the inclusion of the Ironmouse Sprite.

There is a good reason why players are rushing to grab hold of the Ironmouse Sprite at the moment. And that is because of its ability, which could be the difference between survival and elimination in the fiercely competitive moments of a match. The sprite allows players to regenerate their health when it is low and also offers a cloak during that recovery time.

Below, you can check out the various locations in Fortnite that other players are known to have found Ironmouse Sprite in. The guide also mentions other ways of obtaining the sought-after sprite, besides chest-hunting.

Where to find Ironmouse Sprite in Fortnite

Hunting for chests and vaults

As a Mythic-tier item, Ironmouse Sprite is one of the rarer sprites in Fortnite. As a result, it is unlikely to be spotted out in the open and has a higher chance of being found via chests. In particular, special chest variants, such as the Sprite Chest, should be your primary target for finding the Ironmouse Sprite as soon as possible. For additional help in revealing Sprite Chest locations, you can also use the Sprite Locator item, which can be found during a Battle Royale match.

Apart from chests, you can also find this elusive sprite in hidden vaults, which are often situated underground. Importantly, these vaults can only be unlocked with a key, so it is advisable to scour the nearby neighborhoods for one when you come across a vault door.

Taking it from an enemy

If you want to skip the chest hunt and are feeling opportunistic, you can simply take the Ironmouse Sprite from your opponent during a match. Before you board the Battle Bus, take a look at the backs of all other players in the lobby. If you spot your desired sprite, try to remember the appearance of the player.

Once the Battle Bus is airborne, keep an eye out for that same player and time your jump with him. Follow the player to his landing zone, pursue, and then eliminate him to pick up the Ironmouse Sprite as the loot.

Indexing it from a friend

The official Fortnite Discord is a thriving online community, and there is a specific channel where you could find help in completing your sprite collection. You just have to go to the “sprite-runners-network” channel and request someone who already has the Ironmouse Sprite to share.

How this works is that you both join the same match, and then you accept the offered sprite and extract it to index it. Once that part is over, you can return the sprite to its original owner in the next match, following the same process. After this, in the Sprites tab, you will be able to restore the Ironmouse Sprite to your collection by using Sprite Dust.

Final note

Thanks to the introduction of the Ironmouse Sprite, Fortnite players have a chance to add another powerful Sprite to their inventory. In the past, Boss Sprite and Demon Sprite have provided players with decisive health boosts, and now the virtual streamer-inspired Sprite has stepped into a similar role. With more variants continuing to join the game, players looking to keep track of all Sprites in Fortnite will have another addition to their collection to discover.

Over the course of the next few weeks, it will be interesting to see how widespread the Ironmouse Sprite becomes as more players get their hands on it. Moreover, another thing worth keeping track of is how popular it stays once newer Sprites are rolled out in the Epic Games-developed title.
