"But a closer look at the fine print reveals that the base appearance of these cute cosmetic creatures can only be customized once they have been obtained. That means if you purchase a Sidekick from the Fortnite item shop, you only get one chance to determine its basic look, and you won't be able to change it afterward. If you want the same Sidekick but with, say, a different fur color, you'll have to buy it again."
"A new survey from Epic Games sent to players addresses this point head-on, explicitly asking participants about their familiarity with Sidekicks and how they feel about having to buy an entirely new Sidekick for different basic features. Survey participants can only answer through multiple-choice bubbles, with responses ranging from "Strongly Dislike" to "Strongly Like." From a certain perspective, having the basic appearance of Sidekicks is somewhat logical--you can't just change how your real-life pet looks at any time."
Fortnite is adding Sidekicks, cosmetic pets that accompany players and offer no gameplay advantage. The base appearance of Sidekicks can only be customized once after acquisition, so changing core features requires purchasing the same Sidekick again; names can be changed anytime. Players have criticized this restriction online, accusing Epic Games of greed. Epic Games sent a survey asking players about familiarity with Sidekicks and how they feel about having to buy an entirely new Sidekick for different basic features, using multiple-choice responses from "Strongly Dislike" to "Strongly Like." Sidekicks will appear in the item shop November 7, priced at 1,200 or 1,500 V-Bucks; available options include Spike, Lil' Raptor, and Peels as an obtainable option.
