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.
