Fortnite’s next quirky companion, the Bobomi Sidekick, drops on July 24 2026 for 1,500 V‑Bucks as part of the DC Hot Bat Summer Event in update v41.20.
Unlocking and Purchasing Bobomi
Start the game, open the Item Shop, and locate the Bobomi section at the top of the page. Click the Sidekick icon, then press and hold the Purchase button until the circle completes. A notification will confirm that Bobomi arrives in your locker, where you can select it as your active Sidekick.
Bobomi is sold individually; it’s not bundled with any other item. If your V‑Bucks wallet runs low, you can top up with purchased cards before confirming the transaction.
Rewarding Sidekick Points
Equip Bobomi in compatible modes and earn Sidekick points to redeem bonus rewards: a new emote and four distinct style skins that personalize the companion’s appearance.
Getting the Most From Your New Buddy
Once added to your Locker, Bobomi can accompany you in any mode that accepts Sidekicks, offering a cheerful, boba‑drinking mascot that may boost morale, though it won’t affect battlefield performance.
What Comes Next for Fans
With Bobomi’s debut, players can combine this fresh Sidekick with any existing outfit, adding a lighthearted touch to their in‑game look while the next season’s content unfolds.
