Fortnite is set to unveil a new category of cosmetic items named Sidekicks during the highly anticipated Chapter 6 Mini Season 2, which is also referenced as the Simpsons season. This exciting addition will debut on November 1 alongside the release of the Simpsons Battle Pass.
Data miners had previously hinted at these cosmetic companions, and the first Sidekick to make an entrance is named Peels. Following Peels, a variety of additional Sidekicks will become available beginning November 7. For players intrigued by these new companions, we’ve compiled all the information you need right here.
Acquiring Sidekicks in Fortnite
In addition to Peels, other Sidekicks such as Bonesy, Spike, and Lil’ Raptor will be accessible for purchase in the shop, alongside Flopsticks and Cuddle Team Jr.
Notably, players who already possess the Bonesy back bling will automatically receive the Bonesy Sidekick at no additional cost in their lockers. Pricing for the Sidekicks varies, with Lil’ Raptor, Spike, and Bonesy set at 1, 200 V-Bucks, while Flopsticks and Cuddle Team Jr.are priced at 1, 500 V-Bucks. Although these costs may seem steep for merely cosmetic companions, they could exceed many players’ budgets.
Customizing Your Sidekick in Fortnite
After acquiring your Sidekick from the Fortnite shop or through the Battle Pass, customization is the next step. Navigate to your locker and select the Sidekick you wish to personalize.
Your customization options will include altering the Sidekick’s base color, accent color, eye color, and the shape of its eyes. You may also choose to randomize these features. After finalizing your selections, you’ll need to proceed to the next step.
A prompt will appear asking you to Lock In your Sidekick’s appearance. Keep in mind that once you lock your choices, you cannot modify them again; this decision is permanent. Following this, you’ll have the chance to name your Sidekick (up to 16 characters) or opt for a randomly generated name, which will be visible to other players.
Understanding Sidekicks in Fortnite
Sidekicks serve as companion pets during Fortnite matches, accompanying players in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes. They function similarly to back bling but follow you around on the battlefield.
Fans of the game can envision equipping a John Wick skin with a Sidekick as his faithful companion while striving for that coveted Victory Royale. Players need not worry about the safety of their Sidekicks, as they are immune to damage, remaining completely invisible to opponents. Additionally, players can partake in quests related to Sidekicks to earn exclusive cosmetics, such as clothing, collars, or bandanas that can be temporarily applied to their Sidekick, providing an engaging customization experience.
