Introducing Fortnite Sidekicks[]

Sidekicks are new pals in Fortnite that join your adventures in Battle Royale, LEGO® Fortnite, developer-made experiences, and more. Enjoy their company as they react to the world around you!

They’re your own customizable companion. You can design your Sidekick, and select their permanent, physical traits, which is how they will appear moving forward. However, you can change their name and accessories at any time. Cosmetics like hats and hoodies can be earned with Sidekick Points from hanging out together.

The first Sidekick in Fortnite will be Peels! Unlock Peels in the next Battle Pass on November 1.

More Sidekicks come to the Shop on November 7 including Bonesy, Spike, and Lil’ Raptor. Not long after, we’ll have something for all the cat people out there!

Players who own the Bonesy Back Bling will be granted the Bonesy Sidekick on November 7. It may take a bit for you to see it in your Locker.

Updates, Changes and Improvements[]

Sidekicks are here![]

Prepare to welcome some new allies to the Homebase! Introducing Sidekicks - new pals who can now join you during your adventures. While they focus on companionship rather than combat (i.e. won’t be engaging enemies), they’ll tag along, adding a unique flair to your presence on the battlefield.

Head over to the blog for more details!

Bug Fixes[]

• Jump Pads can again be freely placed on specific corners of existing floors without needing to move the player character around the floor piece.
