However, their exact spawn rates have not yet been revealed.What Does the Fortnite Storm Scout Sprite Do?Screenshot: Epic GamesAccording to prominent Fortnite dataminer HYPEX, the Storm Scout Sprite gives players Overdrive and unlimited Energy after they take 10 points of Storm damage. This makes the new Sprite particularly useful for escaping the Storm or surviving when caught outside the safe zone.The effects last longer each time the Sprite levels up:Storm Scout LevelOverdrive Effect DurationLevel 112 secondsLevel 214 secondsLevel 316 secondsLevel 418 secondsLevel 520 secondsOnce the Storm Scout Sprite reaches its maximum level, it will also reveal future Storm circles. This should give players a major advantage during the later stages of a match, as they will be able to reposition before the next safe zone is revealed to everyone else.All Storm Scout Sprite Overdrive EffectsWhile Overdrive is active, players receive the following movement bonuses:25% increased movement speed50% improved air control15% lower gravity25% increased jump strengthUnlimited EnergyInterestingly, the Storm Scout Sprite’s in-game description says that leveling it up reduces the amount of Storm damage needed to activate its power. According to the current game files, though, the requirement remains stuck at 10 damage across every level. Epic Games could still adjust this before the Sprite officially goes live.Storm Scout Sprites Will Be Featured During Sonic Power HourScreenshot: Epic GamesThe Storm Scout Sprite and its variants are expected to be featured during the Sonic Power Hour event on August 29. Although the base version should be the easiest to collect, the event may also give players a better chance of encountering its rarer Gold and Cheat Master variants.Sonic Power Hour begins at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET. Because the Storm Scout Sprite revolves around movement speed, jumping and unlimited Energy, it should fit perfectly alongside the event’s Sonic theme. It will also be perfect for collecting Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Sprites and extracting them while in the storm.
