Fortnite rolled out a fresh fire‑breathing companion— the Sir Wyvern Sidekick— on August 1 2026 at 8 PM ET, with the new addition surfacing during the Cuddles and Chaos event in update v41.30.
How to Add the Sir Wyvern to Your Locker
To acquire the dragon, launch Fortnite and head to the Item Shop. Scan for the “Cuddles and Chaos” head‑liner, then tap the Sir Wyvern icon. Confirm the 1,200 V‑Bucks cost by holding the purchase button until the progress ring completes. An instant lock notification will follow, letting you pick the sidekick from your roster and customize gear as desired.
Worth and Availability
The Sir Wyvern carries a standalone tag: 1,200 V‑Bucks. It appears in the shop for exactly one week, leaving at 8 PM ET on August 8 2026. This is a fixed‑cycle event, so timing matters if you plan to acquire it before it disappears.
Design and Lore Snapshot
Presented as a compact, armored dragon that can breathe flame, the Sir Wyvern hints at a storied combat past— a reference to armored warriors that once battled in legendary clashes. Although it won’t actively fight beside you, it adds thematic flair to your Summer Solace scenes.
Bonus Rewards via Sidekick Points
Once in possession of the sidekick, keep playing compatible modes to earn Sidekick Points. Redeeming these points unlocks several cosmetics that deepen the Sir Wyvern’s appeal:
- Black Knight Armor (Black Knight Style)
- Rift Knight Armor (Rift Knight Style)
- Black Burning Heart Armor (Black Burning Heart Style)
- Flame Breath React (Flame Breath Emote)
These items provide armored finishes and flavor that appear alongside the base sidekick in your wardrobe.
Choosing Your Companion
Unlike the Ace the Bat Hound, the Sir Wyvern does not ship with a bundle. It must be purchased on its own, which grants pure flexibility—enough for players who wish to mix and match sidekicks according to aesthetic preference. If you prefer not to buy yet, you can still gear up with existing sidekicks while other sprites, such as the newly introduced Ironmouse Sprite, await release.
Fans and collectors will decide whether to pair the Sir Wyvern with its own armor set or combine it with other new skins. A week remains to strike for the fiery companion before its brief window closes in the Fortnite Item Shop.
