Fornite already provides players with a plethora of unique skins and items but now players can strap Fortnite Pets onto their character's backs. Featured as cosmetic items in the game, Fortnite Pets react adorably to what is going on in the game. The expressions of the pets are rendered beautifully in Fortnite's distinct art style and are available as a dog, chameleon, and dragon-like creature.
The three Fortnite Pets will be included in the season six Battle Pass, which cost 950 V-Bucks. All three pets can be collected through the basic Battle Pass in the game and there are currently no other pets players can buy separately. Like all other in-game purchasable items, the pets will be purely cosmetic and the sounds they make will only be heard by the player and not any enemy players.
