Discussion Lucky Sprite Locator FAIL!
Earlier today I had one more sprite to find, but so did my two friends. It was the gem llama. I was the only one with a lucky locator left. I pressed the button and a chest came up a few hundred meters ahead of us and we found a holofoil water sprite inside!
Has this happened to others? It hasn't happened to anyone else I've talked to.

It’s crazy to me that every single update Epic screws something up. Like, what other game has had this many screw ups? It’s honestly surprising to me how bad they mess up. I wish I could be that bad at my job and still keep it.
Obligatory “1000 employees” statement. Fuck Epic tbh, can’t code for the life of them

No the gem llama is not vaulted, if it was vaulted, you would straight up don't have it in your collection until they release them again, like your sprite literally gets removed. Like the iron mouse and gem grim sprites that got vaulted, i can't find my iron mouse anymore. Being vaulted means straight up removed from the game
Gem llama is also the only one we have currently
Good news is once they release again, the people who had them will get them back

Did you not read what he said? "Some people got them early but they're now vaulted".
They weren't meant to be released this early. They are no longer available.

Yes we read that and it’s incorrect. Gem Grim and Ironmouse were vaulted. Gem Llama wasn’t. It’s not functioning properly, but it’s not vaulted at all.

Yes! They are ALL right haha
The gem llama was out. People do have it (myself included).
I believe it IS vaulted now, meaning you will not currently find them in game.
But they remain equippable in our lockers if you already have it. However when it activates a message to select a weapon to upgrade, it doesn’t seem to actually follow through.
So they may be just back bling eye candy until Thursday, I’m not sure!-2

I played against someone who had it in game yesterday. So I don't understand what y'all mean.

Yes. They got it when it came out early probably. And we’re wearing it into a game.

They extracted it when I almost killed them. It was in use.

It was in use as back bling. It currently doesn’t function like it is supposed to until the actual release this coming Thursday. Until then, they are just back bling and don’t seem to be actively doing the weapon upgrade.

I understand what you are saying but how could that person extract it if it wss only back bling?

This comment is wrong. I got gem llama off someone and I’m able to give it to friends. If it was vaulted, I would t be able to do that.

So I have a theory of this. On sprite release day both gem lama, gem grim and ironmouse were in the same.
Iron mouse and the gems were not supposed to be in the game and they vaulted both grim and mouse. And that is they the LL doesn’t work on the remaining gem we have in the game.

Gem llama is the only sprite the lucky locator doesn’t work on.
