All Boons in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 3
Fortnite Chapter Six, season three has lots of unique loot items you can find all around the island. Boons are one of the trickier ones to earn, but they're unique and possess strong buffs you can acquire.
Since finding Boons is fairly tough, you may be wondering how many different ones there are and what they're capable of. Here are all Boons and what they do in Fortnite Chapter Six, season three.

There are four Boons you can earn in Fortnite Chapter Six, season three. It's possible that more may be added as the season progresses, and if they are, we'll add all additional ones here.
Boon
Effect
Rank S bonus effect
Combat Acrobat Boon
Parkour partially reloads the weapon you're holding. The amount that's reloaded increases with each Hero Rank.
Reloads all of your weapons.
Heightened Senses Boon
All players who attack you are marked for a limited duration. The amount of time they're marked for increases with each Hero Rank.
The timer cooldown is lowered.
Speed Healer Boon
Grants the Slap effect after you sprint while using healing items. The duration of the Slap effect increases with each Hero Rank.
Gain Slap immediately when using a healing item.
Storm Caller Boon
Replenishes your shield while you're in the storm. The amount that's restored increases with each Hero Rank.
Gives Storm Forecast.
All Boons in the Super season become stronger as you work on increasing your Hero Rank . Once you reach Hero Rank S, you activate a special bonus effect too. If you earn one after you've already reached Rank S, the bonus effect is activated right away.
Past seasons in Chapter Six had other Boons you could find, like the Vulture Boon and the Fire Boon, but all the older Boons are not present anymore. So far, the available Boons have changed each season, so the ones that are available now will likely be removed when Chapter Six, season three ends.
What are Boons in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 3?
Boons are essentially gameplay buffs that last until you perish each round. They're sort of similar to Medallions, but they don't mark your location on the map and have generally less powerful effects. Boon abilities are usually decent, but not complete game changers. Like Medallions, they also don't take up an inventory slot.

Boons are a random loot item , which means there are many different ways you can find and acquire them around the island. Here are all of the different ways you can get Boons in Fortnite .
Opening chests .
Opening Hero Caches .
Purchasing them from behind locked doors at Academy Tech Labs .
Defeating Scout Spires .
Returning Sprites to Sprite Shrines .
Unlike all other loot items, Boons don't drop from players you defeat , so you'll never be able to pick them up using this method. You also can't drop a Boon once you've picked it up, so you'll have it until you perish. Looting or buying them is the only way you can acquire one, so focus on one of the previously mentioned methods to add one to your collection.

How to find Dash and Superman Sprite in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3
Fortnite's sprites are cute. Seeing them is always heartwarming, especially when new ones appear in passing seasons. During Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3: Super , we have Dash and Superman sprites. I didn't know adorable creatures in masks and capes would appear this season, but I'm certainly not complaining.
Here's how to find the Dash and Superman sprites.

How to find Dash and Superman Sprite in Fortnite
During Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3 , you can find Dash and Superman Sprites as you travel around the map. They usually cluster around shrines, particularly near Supernova Academy, Shogun's Solitude, and Demon's Domain. If you're near a shrine, interact with it to pinpoint the exact locations of nearby sprites.
Superman Sprites resemble the water versions from the previous season. They're blue with Superman's signature 'S" on their chest to differentiate them from others around Fortnite's world. My go-to spot for finding them is south of Supernova Academy.
Screenshot by Destructoid
Superman Sprites have the power to shoot lasers out of their eyes. You can hold one, aim, and attack using this ability, dealing hefty damage to anyone within its range.
Dash Sprites, on the other hand, are bright gold with blue masks covering their faces. I found my first batch of them north of Shogun Solitude's shrine. If you're looking for a Dash Sprite, look for one that is yellow rather than blue.
Screenshot by Destructoid
To use a Dash Sprite, toss it onto the ground and wait for its AoE ability to activate. You'll notice small gold coin-like items surrounding your character, indicating your Dash charges. Now, you can dash forward by double-jumping.
Alternatively, you can return either Sprite type to a shrine. You'll get the Sprites back alongside various rewards ranging from weapons to consumables and Boons.
All Sprite Shrine locations in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3
Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3 has 29 known Sprite Shrine locations you can visit. You can find them all over the map, except Crime City, Outlaw Oasis, and Shiny Shafts' region.
Screenshot by Destructoid
Here are some recommended spots to visit if you want easy access to shrines and Sprites:
Supernova Academy
Brutal Boxcars
Shogun's Solitude
South of Foxy Floodgate
Generally speaking, as long as you visit a shrine and interact with it, you can easily find Sprites nearby and track their exact spots.

How to find and damage Overlord Spires and Scout Spires in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 3
Daigo's corruption is attempting to take over the island, and it's up to you to stop him in Fortnite . One of the primary ways you can combat this issue is by finding and damaging both Overlord Spires and Scout Spires.
These special Spires present pretty daunting combat challenges for you to tackle. Interacting with them is essential for various quests, and they also offer some fairly solid rewards for your efforts. Here's how to find and damage Overlord Spires and Scout Spires in Fortnite .

Only one Overlord Spire appears on the island in each match, and it's marked on the map by a large white diamond-like icon surrounded by light purple mist. The precise location of the Overlord Spire varies in each round, so the only way to find it is to check the map. The icon is easy to spot once you know what you're looking for.
The Overlord Spire lands at the location marked on the map as soon as a player enters the nearby area. It might take a few seconds to fully land on the ground, but it always appears fairly quickly.
Where to find Scout Spires in Fortnite
Around five or so Scout Spires appear in each round, and they're all marked by a small diamond-like icon on the map. This icon has a similar shape to the Overlord Spire one, but a lot smaller. Scout Spires also spawn randomly across the island in each round, so you need to check the map to track them down.
How to damage Overlord Spires in Fortnite
Overlord Spires are the more dangerous and deadly combat trials of the two, so never approach this challenge without a solid collection of loot to back you up. Once you're ready to take it on, focus on aiming for the glowing yellow spots on the Spire. These are weak points that drain the Spires' health much more quickly.
Screenshot by Destructoid
The Overlord Spire takes damage regardless of where you shoot at it , so just keep striking it with everything you've got until the health bar is depleted. It has a few protective measures you should watch out for, though, including a deadly laser that targets you and some demon guards who spawn in and fight to protect it. Consider fighting it with friends or purchasing a hireable NPC if you need some help taking it down.
How to damage Scout Spires in Fortnite
Scout Spires can be damaged by attacking any part of them, although aiming for the face is the best way to deal lots of damage quickly. The face is a weak point, so any attacks you aim at it will drain the health bar more quickly.
All Scout Spires are essentially smaller and weaker versions of the Overlord Spire, so if you've faced the latter, taking on these should be no challenge at all. These trials also have a laser attack, although it's much smaller, and demon guards who will appear to defend it.
What do Overlord Spires and Scout Spires drop in Fortnite?
Screenshot by Destructoid
The loot you get from Overlord Spires and Scout Spires generally varies in each match. Here's a breakdown of what types of items you can expect to earn for your efforts.
Overlord Spires always drop one Unstable Exotic Weapon and also usually drop some Legendary weapons, Epic weapons, consumables, ammo, and gold bars.
Scout Spires generally drop one Boon, some Epic weapons, ammo, and some consumables.
There's plenty more to get done this season, so when you're done battling Spires, you might move on to work on acquiring the Wingshot Grappler or finding and opening the Suitcase of Patience .

To complete Fortnite's "open locked doors in Academy Tech Labs while at Hero Rank A or above" Kickstart mission, you'll need to head to Supernova Academy and enter the southeast wing's basement. Here, you'll find several locked doors that, upon opening, will progress you through this quest as long as you're Hero Rank A or higher.

How to open Supernova Academy tech labs in Fortnite
Opening Supernova Academy's tech lab doors requires increasing your Hero Rank. Some doors only need Rank C, while others are only accessible after leveling to Rank A. A-rank doors, in particular, are required for your Power Training Kickstart quests.
You'll know what ranks you need for each door by approaching them and checking their letters. If the letter in front is green, your rank is high enough to open it. Otherwise, you'll need to venture out into the world and increase it before returning to the academy.
Once you open one of Supernova Academy's tech lab doors, you'll have access to small shops, Hero Caches, and holograms containing special gear. You can easily find epic-grade or even legendary items behind these doors, especially if you reach A-rank and open multiple.
How to increase Hero Rank in Fortnite
Hero Rank is a feature in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 that lets you open powerful Hero Caches. Here are some ways to increase your Hero Rank:
Eliminate other players
Eliminate demon henchmen
Return Sprites to their shrines
Survive Storm Circles
As you survive in your rounds, eliminate other players, and help Sprites return to their shrines, you'll gradually increase your Hero Rank, letting you open Hero Caches and access Supernova Academy's tech lab doors. Your rank appears at the side of your screen and resets at the end of each match.
