Fortnite’s Next Big Cosmetic: Meet Your Sidekick Starting This November

Fortnite is evolving its cosmetic game with the debut of Sidekicks, fully animated companion pets that join players on the battlefield and across creative modes. Arriving November 1, 2025, these companions add a new layer of personality and style to your in-game presence—without affecting gameplay balance.

🐾 What Are Fortnite Sidekicks?

• Sidekicks are cosmetic-only companions—they’ll follow your character in Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, Save the World, and other supported modes.

• They cannot be damaged, attacked, or give any gameplay advantage. Their role is purely for fun, visuals, and personal expression.

• First Sidekick: Peels (a banana dog hybrid) launches with the Battle Pass on Nov 1.

• Additional Sidekicks such as Bonesy, Spike, and Lil’ Raptor will be released in the Item Shop on Nov 7.

• If you previously owned the original Bonesy Back Bling, you’ll receive the new Bonesy Sidekick automatically.

🎨 Sidekick Customization & Ownership

• Custom Appearance: When unlocking a Sidekick, you’ll get to customize its appearance—pick colors, fur/skin, horns, and other features.

• Permanent Choices: Once you finalize the look, it’s locked in permanently for that Sidekick. To use another style or color, you must purchase an additional copy of that Sidekick.

• No Duplicates: You cannot create duplicate looks across your Sidekicks—each must be unique.

• Sidekick Points: Having a Sidekick equipped lets you earn Sidekick Points, which can be spent on pet accessories like hats or shirts to further personalize your companion.

✅ Why Sidekicks Matter

• Express Yourself: Sidekicks let players show off even more personality, both in lobbies and on the battlefield.

• No Gameplay Impact: These are purely cosmetic, so all players compete on a level playing field—your Sidekick is just for style and fun.

• Cross-Mode Appeal: Sidekicks will join you across Fortnite’s various modes, making them a great value for fans who like to explore everything Fortnite offers.

💡 Player Tips

• Customize with Care: Choose your Sidekick’s look wisely—you only get one design per purchase.

• Claim Your Free Bonesy: If you owned the old Bonesy Back Bling, your Sidekick unlocks automatically.

• Earn and Spend Points: Keep your Sidekick equipped to rack up Sidekick Points for new pet accessories.

• Plan for Multiple Looks: If you want several unique Sidekick designs, save your V-Bucks accordingly.
