All vault locations in Fortnite Runners
Secure new items and sprites in Fortnite Runners by using the Vault Key to open Vaults. Here's every Vault location this season.
This season is all about sprite extraction, and many players may find themselves constantly running into mining sites as they try to secure them for their sprite collection. This is where portable extractors come in, allowing players to sneaking out their sprites without drawing attention to themselves.
Players can stack Portable Extractors in their inventory and they will remain in their loadout outside of matches, regardless of whether they are knocked out. Here are all the ways you can get portable extractors:
-
Purchased at Sprite Stations for 2,000 Sprite Dust (1 per day – resets at 9:00am ET)
-
Unlocked through daily challenges (daily reset is 9:00am ET)
-
Unlocked as Sprite Championship rewards
Tip #2: Heal on the go with seven sliders
One of the newest items this season is the Seven Sliders, which allow players to slide a long distance even if they have another item in hand. Of course, this means that players can glide with an item and also use any healing item in the gameletting them keep moving while replenishing their health and shield. This can come in the clutch when you need to retreat and heal on the move, or regain some quick health while moving in a storm.
Carried Sprites have their own designated slot separate from the player's main inventory. However, most players figured it out as well you can carry the Sprite in your handoccupying an inventory location. This, of course, allows the players hold multiple sprites at oncewhich can come in handy when you want to extract more and secure them in your Sprite collection or maximize the amount of Sprite Dust you get back.
You can also use this to level up multiple sprites in one game. However, keep in mind that Goblins can only level up when they are on your backnot in your inventory. To switch sprites from your inventory to your back, put the sprite in your hand and press the fire button. This method can also be used to swap active sprite abilities, as the sprite abilities in your hand will not be active.
Tip #4: Upgrade your loot at Sprite gas stations
While many functions for Fortnite The runners are brand new, some from last season have also caught on. This is the case with weapon upgrades that players can still perform, only this time through the services of the Sprite Dust Service Station. If you head to a mining site, you can upgrade your items from Uncommon to Legendary by spending Sprite Dust. This is the surest way to get high rare loot.

Tip #6: Use the seven sliders on water to prevent overheating
Now we move on to the next tip for the Seven Sliders. Many players may have discovered that this item can be used to glide on water. However, using the Seven sliders above the water will also prevent the item from overheating. This means that if players are using the standard rarity version of the Epic item, they can glide indefinitely as long as they stay afloat and have enough stamina.
Tip #7: Head to the Sprite Chests for guaranteed sprites
Sprite chests are easily the most sought after loot crates this season as they are the only chests that actually guarantee sprites and also have the potential to drop rare sprites like Sprite Zero Point. Since these chests set spawn points on the islandplayers can immediately run on them and open them.

Leveling up your sprites will strengthen the effects they provide. Since sprites you pull out and bring into the next match will also keep their levels, you can start your matches with a huge advantage.
Goblins are simply leveled up by getting eliminations and opening loot cachesso focus on any of them during the game. Then you can bring any Sprite in your collection into a match by equipping it in the main menu. For an overview of the effects and bonuses of each Sprite in the game, go to this guide here.

Tip #10: Watch out for Friendly Fire from the Fire Sprite
