How to Customize Your Sidekicks in Fortnite
Sidekicks are Fortnite’s take on pets. They accompany you in nearly every Fortnite mode, making your experience more enjoyable—because who doesn’t love having a cute companion by their side at all times? To add an extra layer of personalization, players can change their Sidekick’s appearance and even rename them to make them truly their own.
However, there are a few important things to keep in mind before customizing your Sidekicks. Here’s a complete guide on how to change their appearance and rename them in Fortnite.
How to Customize Your Sidekick’s Appearance in Fortnite
Before you decide to change your Sidekick’s appearance, it’s crucial to understand that all appearance changes are permanent. Once you lock in a new look, you cannot revert back to the previous one.
If you want to try a different appearance later, you will have to purchase the Sidekick again. Sidekicks vary in price but can cost upwards of 1,000 V-bucks. Because of this investment, be sure you are happy with your choice before finalizing the customization.
Follow these steps to change your Sidekick’s appearance:
- Go to the Locker menu.
- Select the Sidekicks tab on the left side of the screen.
- Choose the Sidekick whose appearance you want to customize.
- Browse through the available options and pick your preferred look.
- Double-check that you’re satisfied, as you won’t be able to change it again.
- Click on Next Step to review your chosen appearance.
- Hold the Lock-In button to finalize and save your customization.
After customizing your Sidekick’s appearance, you can further personalize them by editing their style. Simply return to the Sidekicks menu, select your Sidekick, and click the three dots to open the pop-up menu. From there, choose Edit Style to access additional cosmetic options such as shirts, reactions, and emotes.
How to Change Your Sidekick’s Name in Fortnite
Renaming your Sidekick is much more flexible compared to customizing their appearance. You can change your Sidekick’s name as often as you like.
The first opportunity to name your Sidekick is right after you finish customizing them. If you want to rename your Sidekick later, just follow these simple steps:
Enjoy making your Sidekick uniquely yours as you take on Fortnite adventures together!
