"The first is that Sidekicks-a banana dog named Peels went live in the battle pass on November 1-can only be customized once. After selecting things like size, color, and so on, you can't go back to change them, forcing you to buy a second Sidekick if you want them to look different. Second, opponents can't see Sidekicks, only your squadmates."
"'Why do I care so much about this?' wrote Mabdog420 on the Fortnite subreddit. 'Why not just not buy the sidekicks and shut up about it? Because if we let this go unchecked it will ONLY GET WORSE. Epic always tries to implement predatory pricing or practices like reducing xp gains, and every time we've had to fight back to stop it.'"
Players reacted strongly to Fortnite Sidekicks because customization is locked after first choice, forcing repurchase for alternate looks. The Sidekick Peels debuted in the battle pass on November 1 and cannot be re-edited after initial selection. Opponents cannot see Sidekicks, so only squadmates can view them. Leaks suggest future Sidekicks may cost as much as 2,800 V-Bucks, prompting accusations of predatory pricing and calls for a boycott. Some players received surveys asking opinions about buying additional copies to customize. Community members warn that accepting these practices could lead to worse monetization decisions.
