Overview
- Epic detailed Sidekicks as cosmetic companions that follow players, react to gameplay, and perform emote-like actions without affecting combat.
- Peels debuts in the Nov. 1 Battle Pass, with Bonesy, Spike, and Lil’ Raptor scheduled for the Item Shop on Nov. 7.
- Players who own the original Bonesy back bling will receive the Bonesy Sidekick at no cost beginning Nov. 7, with distribution rolling out over time.
- Sidekicks confer no gameplay advantage and cannot take damage, while most earn Sidekick Points through play to unlock pet cosmetics.
- Epic’s rules make most base appearance choices permanent, requiring another purchase to change a look, a decision drawing early criticism as pricing remains unspecified.
