How to get Sprite Dust in Fortnite

Sprite Dust is awarded to you by extracting Sprites on extraction pages.

You can jump off the battle bus and look at the map for mining locations, and once you visit one, just interact with the terminal and wait about 30 seconds for the mining crate to arrive. When it does, interact with it and place any sprites you have in your inventory into the crate.

Each sprite placed in an extraction crate will give you sprite dust, and you can even get sprite dust from your currently equipped sprite by adding it to the crate. Feel free to run around, steal sprites from defeated players and collect them from loot sources to get them (especially duplicates).
