These adorable little critters will be your faithful companions across all Fortnite experiences, including the classic Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, and any other experience within the Fortnite client. If there\u2019s anything you\u2019re unsure about when it comes to Fortnite pets, we\u2019ve got you covered. Read on to learn how to unlock Peels, what Sidekick Points are, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-fortnite-sidekicks\">What are Fortnite Sidekicks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortnite Sidekicks are in-game pets that will follow you wherever you go. It's important to note that these little pals are a <strong>cosmetic item only<\/strong>. They don't have any gameplay mechanics, nor will they influence your gameplay in any way (sorry, no gameplay advantage this time around). They exist only to be cute and enhance your experience and enjoyment while playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-there-sidekick-emotes-in-fortnite\">Are there Sidekick Emotes in Fortnite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Fortnite Sidekicks will have their own special Sidekick Emotes! Not only will you be able to interact with them through these emotes, but they\u2019ll also interact with the world around you on their own. They\u2019ll react dynamically to what\u2019s happening around them, and we can\u2019t wait to see how this works in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-change-the-name-of-your-fortnite-pet\">Can You Change the Name of Your Fortnite Pet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can! After naming your Sidekick for the first time, you can change its name for free whenever you want. You\u2019re probably wondering, \u201cHow do I change the name of my Fortnite pet?\u201d It\u2019s actually quite simple, just follow these few easy steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open your <strong>Locker<\/strong> in Fortnite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for the Sidekick you want to rename, then select it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the <strong>Menu<\/strong> by clicking on the <strong>three dots<\/strong> icon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the <strong>Rename<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type in any name you like or click the <strong>Randomize Name<\/strong> button to have a bit of fun with random names.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once done, click <strong>Save<\/strong>, and your Fortnite Pet will be renamed. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fortnite-sidekick-customization-how-to-customize-your-pet\">Fortnite Sidekick Customization - How to Customize Your Pet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Fortnite Sidekicks can be customized as well. Once you obtain a Sidekick, either by purchasing it or through other means, you\u2019ll be able to give it an even more unique appearance through customization. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Obtain a Sidekick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Head to the <strong>Locker<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the left, select the <strong>Sidekick<\/strong> section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find and select a Sidekick you wish to customize.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll be presented with a selection of <strong>Appearance<\/strong> options. Choose whichever ones you like for each category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you\u2019re 100% sure you\u2019re satisfied with the look, click <strong>NEXT STEP<\/strong>, then press and hold <strong>LOCK-IN<\/strong> to confirm your choices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-change-your-sidekick-appearance-in-fortnite\">Can You Change Your Sidekick <strong>Appearance<\/strong> in Fortnite?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, no, you can\u2019t change your pet\u2019s appearance in Fortnite. Once you customize it for the first time, <strong>that look becomes locked-in and permanent<\/strong>. <strong>The only way to change the appearance of that same Sidekick is to buy it again<\/strong> (you can purchase the same Sidekick multiple times) and then give the new copy a different look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, you\u2019ll have two versions of the same Sidekick, each with a different customized look, both permanently locked to that appearance. Note that if you purchase another copy of the same Sidekick and try to give it the exact same look, you won\u2019t be able to complete the customization process, as the NEXT STEP button will be greyed out, preventing you from having two identical copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-peels-fortnite-pet\">How to Get Peels Fortnite Pet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortnite.com\/news\/introducing-fortnite-sidekicks\">Peels<\/a> will be the very first Sidekick in Fortnite. <strong>Peels will become available starting November 1st<\/strong>, unlockable through the current season's Battle Pass. All you need to do is play the game and progress through the battle pass, and you will eventually unlock Peels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you have it: all the essential information about Fortnite Sidekick Pets. While you are waiting for them to be released, why not check out some other <a href=\"https:\/\/progameguides.com\/fortnite\/\">great Fortnite guides<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sidekick-pricing-how-much-do-sidekicks-cost\">Sidekick Pricing: How Much Do Sidekicks Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we mentioned earlier, the first Sidekick, Peely, will be unlockable simply by playing via the Battle Pass starting November 1st. However, new Sidekicks will be added on November 7th. Bonesy, Spike, and Lil\u2019 Raptor are the first three to arrive, and they\u2019ll be available for purchase through the official Fortnite Item Shop. Here are their prices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lil' Raptor Sidekick<\/strong> - 1200 V-Bucks + Free Unlockable Styles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spike<\/strong> - 1200 V-Bucks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flopsticks<\/strong> - 1500 V-Bucks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cuddle Team Jr.<\/strong> - 1500 V-Bucks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bonesy<\/strong> - Free reward granted to players who own the Bonesy Back Bling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from the list, the pricing is not exactly generous: each Sidekick costs around $10 to $15, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/FortNiteBR\/comments\/1okk24y\/sidekick_prices_have_been_revealed_and\/\">fans are not happy about it.<\/a>  Many players have already pointed out that Sidekicks cost more than the original skins they\u2019re based on. For example, Flopsticks costs 1,500 V-Bucks, while the Fishstick skin costs 1,200 V-Bucks. Are you planning on spending V-Bucks on these Fortnite pets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fortnite-sidekick-faq\">Fortnite Sidekick FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1761841728955\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are <strong>Sidekick Points<\/strong> in Fortnite?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This is a new Fortnite currency that will allow you to purchase special Sidekick cosmetics for your pets.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1761841779146\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How to earn <strong>Sidekick Points<\/strong> in Fortnite?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You can earn <em>Fortnite<\/em> Sidekick Points simply by playing the game with your pets equipped.

They\u2019re small pet companions that follow you wherever you go, but have no impact on gameplay. The first Sidekick, Peels, releases on November 1st, 2025, with more to come soon after. You can unlock Peels via the current season's Battle Pass. You can customize Sidekicks, but only once per Sidekick. Among other features, they can also use unique Sidekick Emotes. Epic Games has just revealed the studio\u2019s latest addition to the Fortnite ecosystem: Sidekicks! These adorable little critters will be your faithful companions across all Fortnite experiences, including the classic Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, and any other experience within the Fortnite client. If there\u2019s anything you\u2019re unsure about when it comes to Fortnite pets, we\u2019ve got you covered. Read on to learn how to unlock Peels, what Sidekick Points are, and much more. What are Fortnite Sidekicks? Fortnite Sidekicks are in-game pets that will follow you wherever you go. It's important to note that these little pals are a cosmetic item only. They don't have any gameplay mechanics, nor will they influence your gameplay in any way (sorry, no gameplay advantage this time around). They exist only to be cute and enhance your experience and enjoyment while playing. Are there Sidekick Emotes in Fortnite Yes, Fortnite Sidekicks will have their own special Sidekick Emotes! Not only will you be able to interact with them through these emotes, but they\u2019ll also interact with the world around you on their own. They\u2019ll react dynamically to what\u2019s happening around them, and we can\u2019t wait to see how this works in practice. Can You Change the Name of Your Fortnite Pet? Yes, you can! After naming your Sidekick for the first time, you can change its name for free whenever you want. You\u2019re probably wondering, \u201cHow do I change the name of my Fortnite pet?\u201d It\u2019s actually quite simple, just follow these few easy steps. Open your Locker in Fortnite. Look for the Sidekick you want to rename, then select it. Open the Menu by clicking on the three dots icon. Select the Rename option. Type in any name you like or click the Randomize Name button to have a bit of fun with random names. Once done, click Save, and your Fortnite Pet will be renamed. Fortnite Sidekick Customization - How to Customize Your Pet Your Fortnite Sidekicks can be customized as well. Once you obtain a Sidekick, either by purchasing it or through other means, you\u2019ll be able to give it an even more unique appearance through customization. Here\u2019s how to do it: Obtain a Sidekick. Head to the Locker. On the left, select the Sidekick section. Find and select a Sidekick you wish to customize. You\u2019ll be presented with a selection of Appearance options. Choose whichever ones you like for each category. Once you\u2019re 100% sure you\u2019re satisfied with the look, click NEXT STEP, then press and hold LOCK-IN to confirm your choices. Can You Change Your Sidekick Appearance in Fortnite? Unfortunately, no, you can\u2019t change your pet\u2019s appearance in Fortnite. Once you customize it for the first time, that look becomes locked-in and permanent. The only way to change the appearance of that same Sidekick is to buy it again (you can purchase the same Sidekick multiple times) and then give the new copy a different look. In this way, you\u2019ll have two versions of the same Sidekick, each with a different customized look, both permanently locked to that appearance. Note that if you purchase another copy of the same Sidekick and try to give it the exact same look, you won\u2019t be able to complete the customization process, as the NEXT STEP button will be greyed out, preventing you from having two identical copies. How to Get Peels Fortnite Pet Peels will be the very first Sidekick in Fortnite. Peels will become available starting November 1st, unlockable through the current season's Battle Pass. All you need to do is play the game and progress through the battle pass, and you will eventually unlock Peels. So there you have it: all the essential information about Fortnite Sidekick Pets. While you are waiting for them to be released, why not check out some other great Fortnite guides? Sidekick Pricing: How Much Do Sidekicks Cost? As we mentioned earlier, the first Sidekick, Peely, will be unlockable simply by playing via the Battle Pass starting November 1st. However, new Sidekicks will be added on November 7th. Bonesy, Spike, and Lil\u2019 Raptor are the first three to arrive, and they\u2019ll be available for purchase through the official Fortnite Item Shop. Here are their prices: Lil' Raptor Sidekick - 1200 V-Bucks + Free Unlockable Styles Spike - 1200 V-Bucks Flopsticks - 1500 V-Bucks Cuddle Team Jr. - 1500 V-Bucks Bonesy - Free reward granted to players who own the Bonesy Back Bling. As you can see from the list, the pricing is not exactly generous: each Sidekick costs around $10 to $15, and fans are not happy about it. Many players have already pointed out that Sidekicks cost more than the original skins they\u2019re based on. For example, Flopsticks costs 1,500 V-Bucks, while the Fishstick skin costs 1,200 V-Bucks. Are you planning on spending V-Bucks on these Fortnite pets? Fortnite Sidekick FAQ What are Sidekick Points in Fortnite? This is a new Fortnite currency that will allow you to purchase special Sidekick cosmetics for your pets. How to earn Sidekick Points in Fortnite? You can earn Fortnite Sidekick Points simply by playing the game with your pets equipped. Just equip any Sidekick, play normally, and you\u2019ll earn SP passively over time. Can you purchase the same Sidekick multiple times? Yes, you can. In fact, you will need to if you want to give a Sidekick a new look because you can not change the one you already own. Will there be more Sidekicks? Yes, there will be! More Sidekicks are coming to the Fortnite Item Shop on November 7, including Bonesy, Spike, and Lil\u2019 Raptor. Epic has also teased a Sidekick \u201cfor all the cat people out there,\u201d which will arrive later this year. Can you pet Sidekicks in Fortnite? You can interact with them through Sidekick Emotes, but you can\u2019t pet them - at least not for now. Can you control Sidekicks while in-game? No, you don\u2019t have control over your Sidekicks. They follow you on their own - you can\u2019t decide where they go. But they\u2019ll always stay right by your side. Why can't you complete your Sidekick customization? If the NEXT STEP button is greyed out, it means you already own that Sidekick with that exact appearance, which is why you can\u2019t proceed with the customization process.","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/progameguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fortnite-sidekicks.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":260807,"url":"https:\/\/progameguides.com\/shadow-warrior-3\/all-weapon-upgrades-how-to-upgrade-weapons-in-shadow-warrior-3\/","url_meta":{"origin":1038795,"position":0},"title":"All weapon upgrades &#8211; How to upgrade weapons in Shadow Warrior 3","author":"Justin Joy","date":"February 28, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Shadow Warrior 3 gives you all sorts of fun ways to take out enemies.
