Everyone loves having their beloved Fortnite Sidekicks by their side when battling it out for the Victory Royale. With the release of the new 39.50 update, Epic has expanded its roster of back blings turned into Sidekicks with the addition of the new Woodsy Sidekick.
This new Fortnite Sidekick is based on the Pet back bling from all the way back in Chapter 1, and if you are looking to claim the Woodsy Sidekick for free, here’s what you need to qualify.
How to Claim Woodsy Fortnite Sidekick for Free
The Woodsy Fortnite Sidekick is only available for free for a select number of players. Players who own the original Woodsy back bling, a cosmetic from the Chapter 1 Season 8 Fortnite Battle Pass, will receive the Woodsy Sidekick for free. The Woodsy back bling was available at Tier 18 of the Chapter 1 Season 8 Battle Pass. Now, the back bling, much like Kitsune and Remus before it, is being turned into a full-fledged Sidekick that will follow you around on the battlefield.
To redeem the Woodsy Sidekick, you can follow these steps:
- Log in to Fortnite after the 39.50 update using the account that has the original Woodsy back bling in its collection.
- You will then receive the Woodsy Sidekick automatically. If you are having trouble finding it, you can head to your locker and filter by Sidekicks. This should help you find the Woodsy Sidekick in your inventory.
Once you select this new Fortnite Sidekick, you will be prompted to customize it with your style choices. You can then equip it before getting into a Battle Royale match or heading into the blocky world of LEGO Fortnite. It is important to remember that there are no special quests required to unlock the Woodsy Sidekick if you already own the back bling.
If you don’t own the Woodsy back bling from Chapter 1 Season 8, don’t worry. You will get a chance to acquire the Woodsy Sidekick when it comes to the Fortnite Item Shop later this season.
