The Fortnite’s Hot Bat Summer event presents the Batman Sprite, a Mythic collectible with a special means of movement, and it is among the most coveted Sprites in the season. The Batman Sprite can be acquired through different means, however, some are more effective than others. In this guide, we have explained how to obtain and where to find its variants.
What Does the Batman Sprite Do?
Once activated, the Batman Sprite allows you to fly yourself in the air before using the Bat Cape, and glide over the island. After each usage, the ability will require recharge for a short while before it can be used again.
On top of this, it has an added bonus of improving the chances of finding rare Sprites when opening chests, thus making it useful even after you’ve added it to your collection.
Fastest Way to Unlock the Batman Sprite
If your goal is to obtain the base Batman Sprite quickly, defeating one of the event’s DC villain NPCs is the most dependable approach. You’ll find them at the following locations:
| NPC | Spawn Location |
| Harley Quinn | Beach south-west of Sinister Strip |
| Catwoman | Beach south-west of Wonkeeland |
| Poison Ivy | Beach south of The Bus Stop |
These characters will only get into combat if you go after them first, allowing you to explore other locations on the map and collect loot before engaging in a fight.
When you encounter an NPC, make sure to gather weapons and shields from around the area, as you will have to use them during the challenge. The use of a shotgun can make the process easier. Once the battle begins, don’t stop shooting and pay attention to the constant movement of the character. Defeating any of these NPCs may provide you with the basic Batman Sprite.
A good place to find Catwoman is just outside of Frosted Flats. You can directly go to the beach to encounter her.
Other Ways to Get the Batman Sprite
The NPC battles are not your sole choice in the game. You can gain the base Batman Sprite by fulfilling frequent Hot Bat Summer quests which makes it possible for anyone to get the Bonus Reward.
If you don’t mind relying on luck, getting the Sprite through any of the Sprite or Standard Chests may also be an option. There are also ways to find it at the beginning of the match by using Sprite Locator Gizmo while eliminating another player who possesses the item, or receiving it through trading.
In contrast to other gaming items such as the Batman Sprite which is classified as Mythic, chest drops are considerably less consistent than defeating one of the DC villains.
How to Secure Your Batman Sprite
Once you collect the Sprite, you will still have to extract it before it becomes part of your collection.
You may use any standard Extraction Point, but the problem is that these locations will be populated by many other players. If you possess a Portable Extractor, you are in luck because you can safely extract the Sprite without going through a public extraction zone.
Batman Sprite Variants
Besides the standard version, several alternate Batman Sprites are available for collectors. Current variants include:
- Galaxy
- Gold
- Cube
- Gummy
- Holofoil
These versions aren’t awarded by the DC NPCs. Instead, they’re found through loot sources such as Sprite Chests and regular Chests, so collecting the full set may take some time.
Which Method Is Best?
If your only goal is to unlock the basic Batman Sprite, you will need to challenge either Catwoman, Harley Quinn, or Poison Ivy. However, in case you prefer completing the tasks in the events, you can unlock the basic one through the Hot Bat Summer questline, whereas anyone seeking the entire collection will have to look in chests for the special variants.
