Help & FAQ

Getting started

Sprite Tracker is a free, unofficial fan tool for tracking your Fortnite Chapter 7 sprite collection — each sprite has its own passive ability, and each comes in several variant editions.

There's nothing to sign up for: open the tracker and start tapping. Your progress saves in your browser automatically. Signing in is optional and only adds cross-device sync (and, with an fnvault account, friends) — see Cloud sync and Accounts below.

Tracking

The tap cycle is the whole interaction model:

• Tap a variant to cycle it: nothing → ✓ found → 👑 mastered → back to nothing.
• Hold (or right-click on desktop) to flag a variant 👻 lost.
• Lost is an overlay, not a delete: your found/mastered records stay underneath, so tapping a lost variant re-finds it and the crown comes back. Mastering is an achievement you don't undo by losing the sprite.
• Flagging something lost that you never marked found still gives it a found record underneath, so it has something to come back to.
• Mastering a variant also marks it found. Un-marking found does not remove the crown.
• Your header stats count found and mastered variants; lost variants are not counted as found.
• Lost variants feed the Sprite Dust "to recover" figure — what it would cost to summon them back.
• Sprites with no variants yet are unreleased "coming soon" cards; the Filters bar can show or hide them, and filter by rarity, variant, status (complete / missing / mastered / lost), plus sort by name, rarity, completion or dust. On mobile the filters sit behind a Filters toggle.

Cloud sync

By default nothing leaves your browser. Your progress lives in this browser's local storage. It is not sent anywhere and cannot be seen by anyone else. Clearing your browser data erases it, and it does not follow you to another device or another browser.

Two ways to sign in from the sign-in control in the header: Continue with fnvault (see Accounts) or a magic link emailed to you (no password).

What happens the moment you sign in: your device's progress and whatever is already in the cloud are merged, and for any variant marked in both places the earlier timestamp wins — the first time you marked it, on any device. The merged result is then uploaded. Nothing is overwritten or lost by signing in; the first time you ever sign in the cloud side is simply empty, so your local progress is what gets uploaded.

After that, every change you make is pushed up automatically about a second after you stop tapping. The coloured dot next to your email is the status: green synced, amber pulsing syncing, red the last push failed (it retries on your next change).

Signing in as a different person: if you are signed in by magic link as one email and then continue with fnvault as a different email, everything pauses and asks first. You choose Switch to the fnvault account or Stay signed in. Nothing is deleted and the two accounts' collections are never merged into each other — each keeps its own.

Disconnect fnvault only signs this browser out of fnvault. It does not sign out a magic-link session, does not touch your collection, and does not unlink anything — continuing with fnvault again later reconnects you to the same data.

Accounts

Magic-link account (email link, no password): cross-device sync of your collection. That's it.

fnvault account (Continue with fnvault): everything above plus friends, the friends leaderboard, compare, and friend messages. Friends require an fnvault account — the friend features check only the fnvault sign-in, which is why a magic-link user can be signed in and still see "Sign in to add friends".

Upgrading:if you're signed in by magic link you'll see an Upgrade to a free fnvault accountcard — on the tracker home page just above the Buy Me a Coffee button, and on the Friends, Leaderboard and Compare pages when they ask you to sign in. Sign in with the same email you use here and your collection carries over automatically (same email = same account = same collection). Using a different email instead triggers the "switch account?" question described in Cloud sync — nothing is merged or lost either way.

"Reconnect your fnvault account to use friends": an older fnvault sign-in from before friends existed. Signing in with fnvault again from the header fixes it.

Friends

Your friend code looks like SPRT-XXXX and lives at the top of the Friends page. Copy it and give it to a friend; paste theirs into Add a friend and hit Send Request.

• Generate New Code replaces your code. Your old code stops working immediately, so anyone who hasn't used it yet can't add you with it — but your existing friends are not affected at all. It asks for confirmation first.
• If a code doesn't work the message tells you why: it doesn't match anyone, it's your own code, you already have a request pending with that person, or you're already friends.
• The other person sees your request in their 🔔 notification bell (and in the Requests section on their Friends page) and you become friends when they accept.
• Declining is silent — the sender is never told a request was declined.
• Your own outgoing requests show as waiting with a Cancel button. Cancel is instant, no confirmation.
• Removeon a friend row asks to confirm, then removes the friendship both ways: you disappear from each other's friends list and leaderboard, and messaging between you stops. You can send a new request later.
• Each friend row shows their completion %, found/total, a per-rarity breakdown, and a 👻 count of their lost variants. Yes, friends can see your lost variants too — that's deliberate; this tracker shows the honest number rather than quietly hiding the unflattering one. Your own card sits right above the list in the same style so you can compare at a glance.

Compare

Compare on a friend row opens a variant-by-variant grid for that one friend. To compare with someone else, go back to Friends and press Compare on their row.

Each released sprite gets a row, and each variant that sprite actually has gets one chip pair: your status on the left, theirs on the right.

Yourside is read live from this device, so it always matches what you're looking at elsewhere in the app right now. Their side is their last synced progress.

Each side reads as one of: 👻 lost, 👑 mastered, ✓ found, or missing — and lost wins over everything. A variant you mastered and later lost shows as lost, not mastered, because lost is what's true right now.

The rings are the "who has the edge" marker: a violet ring means only you currently hold it, a light ring means only they do. A lost variant counts as not currently held on either side.

The line above the grid totals it up: how many variants only you have, how many only they have, and how many you both have.

Compare only works with an accepted friend. Anyone else — a stranger, or a request still pending — shows "Not in your friends list".

Leaderboard

The leaderboard is friends-only: you and your accepted friends, never a global ranking. The heading shows how many friends you actually have, including zero.

Score = 1 point per variant you've found, plus 2 more for every variant you've mastered. A mastered variant is therefore worth 3, because a mastered variant is also a found one.

Scoring counts variants, not whole sprites — the same way the tracker's own header stats do.

Equal scores are ordered alphabetically by name. Your row is badged You.

Each row also shows the raw "N found · M mastered" behind the score, so the number is never a black box.

Messages

Messages live in the 🔔 bell in the header. You can message any accepted friend — either press 💬 on their row on the Friends page, or open the bell and pick the conversation.

It's a real conversation, not a one-shot note: each friend has a full scrollable history with a reply box, and a back arrow returns you to the list.

The number on the bell is one combined count — operator replies, pending friend requests, and unread friend messages all add into it (it caps the display at 9+).

Opening the bell does not clear friend requests or unread message badges — a request stays counted until you actually accept or decline it, and a conversation is marked read only when you open that conversation.

New messages and requests are checked about every 30 seconds while the tab is open, and immediately when you come back to the tab. It is not instant push, so a reply can take a moment to appear.

There's a rate limit of 30 messages per 10 minutes, messages can't be edited or deleted, and removing a friend ends the ability to message each other.

Replies from us about a sprite you reported show up in the bell whether you signed in by magic link or with fnvault. The one thing that has to be true first: you need to be signed in when you send the report. A report sent while fully signed out has no account attached, so there's nowhere for a reply to land.
