You can, you just can't change the selected variant of a Sidekick after you changed it once

So we gotta pay for different edit styles? Can't wait til they do that with skins.

Fortnite players when Epic Games requires them to buy the same peely sidekick for 1,500 v-bucks just to change the t-shirt he is wearing.

What’s even the point of unlocking new stuff if you can only change it’s appearance once

I am not even mad about the custonization, I am more mad at the fact they gave us THREE dogs and a fucking fish in a bubble before a single cat.

"You can purchase the same Sidekick multiple times to give them different Appearances" Why would you spend all this money on pets wile only you and your teammates can see them? No one else in the lobby has any idea that u got a pet

And just like kicks and cars I will not be interacting or purchasing any of this. The greed is off the charts.

THE real sidekick.

Replying to @FireMonkey
Really hoping something with this changes because it's incredibly greedy to make us buy the exact same thing just for different costumes we already own.

So what if after I lock in an appearance a week later I earn enough sidekick points to unlock a better outfit? I have to then buy another sidekick to put it on? That’s insane if true.

So this just sucks balls. Got it. Why in the actual hell can you only change the appearance one time? Epic smokin' that good shit apparently.

I'm genuinely confused because you can't customize them more than once but can unlock more customization options?? Epic??

Yeah, I hope they walk back the whole "can only customize it once have to buy another one to customize it" it is just nonsense and they deserve getting some reasonable backlash for it. Give Fortnite some hell people, but no threats or other bs, just call them out.

so im hoping that the appearances you cant change are something simple like fur color, and any other appearances you unlock can be changed at any time-things like collars or bandanas or hats. that wouldnt be AS bad to me. Still bad, but not awful

Regarding the pet from the pass, how would we unlock its other styles? Or will it already be available with all styles?

Replying to @FireMonkey
Cool but permanent customization is a massive L. Just seems like a money grab.

Replying to @FireMonkey
What about the one in the battle pass? Will I only get 1 of it?

Replying to @FireMonkey
"You can rename Sidekicks anytime for free" the fact that we can even say this like it's an exciting thing... 💀

I don’t really like some features 😔💔

So it’s like the character, we could customize in chapter 2 season two except if we want to customize them again after locking it and we have to re-buy it?💀

Replying to @FireMonkey
So they took something cool and made it stupid for the sake of greed. This feels spiteful. And it's a slippery slope to them charging for additional edit styles on skins. The worst part is that whales will pay regardless of the cost.

Replying to @FireMonkey
If I get them, not buying more than once

Replying to @FireMonkey
I see why ppl complain but lets be honest. We all will be buying like 1 or maybe 2 pets. Just like kicks

Replying to @FireMonkey
One thing I won’t be buying

Replying to @FireMonkey
Wait, so we'll be able to get some appearances with points, or do we earn these points that will unlock styles for the pets, and then after unlocking them, we'd have to buy them anyway?

Replying to @FireMonkey
What’s the difference between both appearances Is one like the colour and everything of the pet And then you can use points to give them hats and shit? But can you keep customising what they wear for free?

“ You can purchase the same Sidekick multiple times to give them different Appearances.” epic got me fucked up bro

Ok so you buy a base style, but then to unlock more on that base style and stuff like that you just need to play the game and earn points, it’s just like different base styles you have to buy?
