How to Become a Ghost in Fortnite

Fortnite now has a feature that turns players into helpful ghosts when they're eliminated. However, it is only available in Fortnite Delulu, a special weekend game mode with proximity chat. When players die in Delulu, they will now turn into Ghost Sprites rather than being sent back to the lobby.

To become a ghost in Fortnite, players either select the Give Up option after being knocked down or they must be fully eliminated. This way, they can keep an eye on their favorite players in the match and help them out.

What Can Ghost Sprites Do in Fortnite?

As a ghost, players can easily fly around the map and find other players. However, if they don't want to lose slight of their teammates while they're sprites, they can simply attach themselves to them. The Haunt button, which appears when gamers are close to another player, makes it possible for them to be dragged along. Unfortunately, they cannot talk to them - ghosts players can only speak to other ghosts.

Players help out and give loot by selecting the Updoot button. However, for it to work they must be near a player or haunting them. It takes 30 seconds for the cooldown to end, giving them the opportunity to do it again.
