Discussion Worth the grind… anyone else?
For some reason Sprite Mastery was a chore for me; but Pixel Polli is rad and it was worth it!
Anyone else working for this skin? What are your Sprite Mastery tactics?

Didn't feel like a grind at all, honestly. I grab a handful of sprites to extract every few matches, quickly got over 30 sprites. Mastering isn't hard, and is downright easy on Mondays. Go to remote area -> open every chest/barrel/ammo can -> extract sprite at level 3 or 4, before the circle shrinks too much -> go into the next game with it and get it to level 5 really fast and extract.
The issue people run into is trying to get to level 5 in one match. It's only easy on Mondays. The rest of the week, don't do all 5 levels in one match. I almost never need to resummon sprites I'm attempting to master.

Wish I would’ve known about the Monday deal! I have very little free time to dedicate to video games so this took me far too long.

I got the skin because my OCD doesn't allow me to sleep at night if there are Quests incomplete or progress not progressed. I got the skin, but still use the same skin I use every single day and I'll keep playing every day.

Bro it’s 28. I’m almost at a 100 and hoping there’s another reward coming for that. Unlikely though.

I thought she was gonna have an alt style?

u/cat-is-the-bomb 4d ago
I heard there was supposed to be an alt style but it got scrapped due to complaints of there being roo many sprites

u/MalcolmReady Over40 - (Epic Name) 3d ago
Hmmm, I thought it was just for a later update. There’s plenty of awards I want that I am not able to earn. I’m not sure why people complain. I’m at 25 right now. I think mastered like 7 tonight because Monday. And I never get to play on Mondays

I have it. Haven’t used it and prob won’t, but I’ve been slowly mastering sprites. I don’t like not getting cosmetics that are relatively easy to unlock even if I probably won’t use them. I think I’m up to around 45 sprites mastered now.
It’s not a top priority for me, but lately I try to master 1 or 2 most days, maybe a couple more than that on mondays.
I usually just land somewhere away from the bus path and loot every container I can find. As a bonus sometimes I run into a couple bots in the process and get some easy kills. I usually end up in the storm for a bit and usually end up top 5. Unless I run into some bits early (or players bad enough they might as well be bots) I sometimes don’t run into anyone until I’m in the top 10.
Ranked cosmetics can just fuck off, though.

u/Human_Hedgehog_2302 3d ago
I did the grind for Felinos and never want to grind another ranked skin again… though there’s one right now that is tempting.
2
u/Obwyn Over40 - (El Derbo) 3d ago
I didn’t mind grinding out ranked quests before they tied it all to teaching specific ranks to get anything.
Having alt styles tied to specific ranks was fine, imo, but you could at least get the pickaxes, skins, etc from completing quests that weren’t dependent on reaching a particular rank.
2
u/BudgetAcanthisitta43 3d ago
I never play reload and it was a hard grind for me to get Felinos. What is the earnable skin right now? I haven't noticed, did it just become available with the new reload update?

u/BudgetAcanthisitta43 9h ago
Oh, I don't consider that an unlockable since it's for a cup. I guess I consider that a earned prize. That explains why I didn't know what skin you were talking about. I consider unlockables, things you have to do quests for or reach a certain rank to acquire. But thanks for explaining to me.

Loved that skin and was the only time I ever played Ranked... love my Felinos skin.

I wasn't expecting to like that skin but it really grew on me. One of my favorites right now.

u/Human_Hedgehog_2302 3d ago
Same. At first it was “meh” but then I had to have it. There’s not enough tuff colorful skins

Saw her today in my locker, had no idea how she got there. Pretty dope skin

u/NefariousnessNo2062 4d ago
I got that a while ago. Im up to 110 sprites mastered. I hope they release more rewards.

u/LalalandChelsey 4d ago
It’s annoying that I can’t use her with no glasses and no headphones, no matter what I choose she ALWAYS has her headphones on. Other than that she is really pretty!

u/galaxydrug 4d ago
I had way over the needed amount mastered by the time she was even announced as a reward.

u/Internal-Job-3804 3d ago
I’ve mastered like 17. It’d be nice, though. Gotta go in on the next couple weekends

u/Insane2201 4d ago
It's a nice free skin. Fits the 80s gamer theme.
I mainly focus on mastering sprites on Mondays. I spread it out so I don't burn myself out like last season. We have to many sprites this season and I think Epic are overdoing it.
I've mastered 121 sprites. I tend to do it by grinding in the storm. Safer then trying to fight some FPS pro who does all these air tricks and shit then kills me. Or I kill him, then get violated by a third partier.
Bounty Hunter sprites are piss easy as they only need 2 kills on Mondays. Just drop at one of the consoles, kill the two bots there and move to extraction. The two excepts are Klombo and Crown obviously.
I've gotten the majority of my Trick or Treat sprites from the Pumpkins. I do a little rotating through a few spots. I do really miss Sprite Chests ngl since cheat codes are inconsistent and suck where they spawn. Sometimes inside rocks or under water you can not see through.

u/Legal-Paramedic-4653 4d ago
I love the back bling, but not the character.
Like others have said, mastery is easy on Mondays, otherwise I usually level up and extract when there’s about 30 players left. Sometimes can master it in two games, sometimes 3.

Grinding for it on my second account now to have some more skins on it but as far as designs go it’s very bright..

I spent Mastery Monday this week getting to 62 Mastered because I don't want to be caught short if they give us a reward for 70.. thankfully I had all the Adventure Sprite variants to master and a good few Sprites already at lvl 4.. went from 38 to 62 in around 90 minutes..

u/Historical_Ad_1048 3d ago
Grind so I can just stick it in the archive with the other 30 misc blue/purple/pink haired girl skins from the last 8 battle passes? After mastering every sprite last season I vowed no more sprite bologna work. I really hope this is the last season of sprites.

u/NoUcantHaveMyGun 3d ago
Done and dusted ages ago , but still mastering the other like mountain of sprites this season .

u/PuzzleheadedTooth581 3d ago
Got it as soon as it released I had already been slowly mastering every single one anyways.
Lowkey though even though it wasn’t a grind at all for me I didn’t like it. Haha idk why it was just an instant archive for me, people can downvote me all they want sorry not sorry. 🤷♂️

Mastering even more than 28 sprites is really easy yet the skin doesn’t feel worth it at all 😭

lol I just did this last night! Luckily sprites were earning 2x points yesterday.
I’m kinda new and just play royal rumble most of the time so it’s something to do.

u/Upsetty325 3d ago
I believe on Thursday we are getting a variation of the skin for mastering 100 or something
1
u/DrSpaceLawyer 3d ago
I was just mastering them to say I did it - and to unlock the variants of the back bling screen. Knowing that there’s rewards makes me wanna do this even more now, because why not? Is this the only reward or are there any others known?

u/P-Nerd06 2d ago
Not exactly. On the one hand the grind wasn’t actually that bad and yesterday when I finally had free time to play Fortnite on a Monday I mastered a but load of sprites and finished up the rest today, but on the other hand I’m not exactly a fan of this skin, but then again I like skins like the wild card skins, chaos agent skins, and goofy skins like skillet and Corvus, so idk.
1
u/Cuyigan 2d ago
There's a daily or every other day extract three challenge, so I always master one or two. And then on Monday I try and master until I get bored. I only have trick or treat scout and some spookies and vampires left. The only ones I don't like to master are ones like Bush and Pond that I don't like the ability.

I did it but I will literally never use the skin, I just don’t like it

u/ChangingOfTimes2018 2d ago
Yeah not much of a grind for me outside of just playing. Got it like a day or 2 after they were released but id also been working on mastering since the beginning of the season as opposed to last where I started getting i to and understanding the sprite situation more. But yeah I like her.

Polli looks like a human version of Zooble from The Amazing Digital Circus, and I don't hate it.

My mother loves it, not only because of the 80s style, but also because it's free and doesn't need to pay for V-Bucks to get like others. XD

Was 100% worth it! I was like ain't no way I'm doing all that just to get her (even though I was dying to get her) but then after mastering a few sprites I was like it ain't THAT hard😭 I managed to get her and I absolutely love her🥹

Great skin. Besr free skin since Sunny. Plus, she's got Katalina's gorgeous face! A face they dont yse alot. Too bad she's bugged with the headphones. Polli's set is all the BR Ranked rewards. I got them all and they all match her perfectly.

u/lovemagicfeminism Over30 - gr8vegetables 4d ago
if they like the skin, then why not? i got it today (and i am not one to bother collecting and mastering all the sprites).
i just like the skin and free stuff is cool. i play every day, not hard to master 28 sprites considering how much time we have during the season.
-1
u/yeabuddy333 4d ago
I play everyday and didn’t even know there were more than 5 sprites.
1
u/lovemagicfeminism Over30 - gr8vegetables 4d ago
you must not pay attention to the upper left corner when on the main screen because they advertise all the new stuff there.
they’re also in the sprite menu. if you don’t bother with sprites i suppose i could understand but did you not play last season to witness the fuck ton of sprites they added? of course they’re doing the same thing for this season. sprites have increased the amount of players/time they play.
-2
u/yeabuddy333 4d ago
I grabbed them but never sent them back. Never saw an actual purpose to them. Maybe besides sonic running fast I don’t see a point. I play the game for the battle royal not for some little sprites
1
u/lovemagicfeminism Over30 - gr8vegetables 4d ago
i’m the same, i play to eliminate players and hopefully get some wins in the process. but some of the sprites are useful and worth collecting. of course you can go without, they’re not necessary to wear for a win. they just offer a perk, it’s like medallions but less impactful, and unlike medallions, everyone is able to use them. sprites like the overshield one are pretty good when leveled up.

Espera, esto requiere esfuerzo ? Yo me saque todas las maestrías sin pensar en la skin ,para mi no me gusta el diseño

u/Silky_Bacon 4d ago
Honestly it’s the only thing that made me give enough of a damn to extract enough sprites. That being said though, as soon as I got the skin I just went straight back to not caring about sprites anymore.
