Fortnite’s newest pet, the Calm Capy Sidekick, dropped on August 15, 2026 at 8 PM ET, demanding 1,200 V‑Bucks for an instant win in the Item Shop.
How to Snag the Sweet Companion
Launch the game, go to the Item Shop, and scroll to the “Signal Boost” section. The Calm Capy icon sits there—tap it, hold the Purchase button until the circle completes, and the game will notify you once the sidekick lands in your Locker.
After acquisition, select it from your Locker, customize styles, or opt for the default. No bundle discounts apply, so the price stays fixed. If you’re short on V‑Bucks, redeeming a V‑Bucks card before the August 25, 2026 8 PM ET deadline keeps you in the shop window.
Rewards Breakdown
The sidekick unlocks three cosmetic bonuses:
- Style “Yuzu Snoozin’”
- Style “Heart‑A‑Ccino Reaction”
- Capy Break Emote
Each reward can be traded for extra Sidekick Points, adding value beyond the initial spend.
Make the Smart Spend Now or Later?
While the Calm Capy offers echo‑friendly companionship, the forthcoming Chapter 7 Season 4 Override Battle Pass begins soon. Players might prefer to stash V‑Bucks for season content instead of a short‑lived pet.
For those who cherish the gentle companion, act before midnight on August 25, or the shop will switch to its next rotation.
