I opened the Item Shop and froze. The Sir Wyvern sat there, tiny chest heaving, scales catching the light like a dare. My V-Bucks balance hummed a warning—I had to decide fast.
I’ll walk you through everything I learned: where to buy the Sir Wyvern Sidekick, how much it costs, and the little extras that make this miniature dragon worth the scroll. You, me, and a clear plan—no fluff.
Find it in the Item Shop
You’ll spot it in the shop window if it’s live—that’s the quickest sign. Open Fortnite, head to the Item Shop (Epic Games controls this storefront across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch), and scan the seasonal carousel.
- Locate the Cuddles and Chaos section; the Sir Wyvern is listed there when available.
- Select the Sir Wyvern Sidekick and press Purchase. It costs 1,200 V-Bucks (about €10).
- Hold the Purchase button until the confirmation completes; you’ll see a notification that the Sidekick has been sent to your locker.
- Open your locker to equip Sir Wyvern and pick a style or reactions if you’ve earned them.
It won’t fight for you—think of it like a pocket furnace that follows you around, not a weapon on the loadout—but it adds personality to your drops. If you need more V-Bucks, redeemable cards are available through the Epic Games Store, console stores, or retailers.
How much does Sir Wyvern Sidekick cost?
The Sidekick is priced at 1,200 V-Bucks (about €10) in the Item Shop. If you usually buy V-Bucks bundles on PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop, or the Epic Games Store, the effective cost per V-Bucks can vary by regional pricing and sales.
Release and limited-time window
The shop keeps a strict clock—you can tell a lot by the timestamp on an item. Sir Wyvern first appeared with Fortnite update v41.30 and was released on August 1, 2026, at 8 PM ET. According to the Item Shop schedule, it will leave on August 8, 2026, at 8 PM ET, so this is one of those “buy or wait” moments.
When was Sir Wyvern Sidekick released?
Released on August 1, 2026, at 8 PM ET during the v41.30 patch—this was announced on Epic Games’ official channels and flagged by creators on Twitter/X and Twitch within minutes.
When will Sir Wyvern Sidekick leave the Fortnite Item Shop?
The Sidekick is scheduled to leave on August 8, 2026, at 8 PM ET. If you like limited runs, this one follows the usual one-week rotation that Fortnite uses for many cosmetic drops.
Styles, Sidekick Points, and pairing tips
You can earn cosmetic extras if you play the modes that grant Sidekick Points—so the game rewards attention, not just wallet size. Once purchased, Sir Wyvern offers a handful of styles and reactions you can earn with Sidekick Points.
| Cosmetic Name | Cosmetic Type |
|---|---|
| Armor Black Knight | Style |
| Armor Rift Knight | Style |
| Black Burning Heart | Reaction |
| Flame Breath | Emote |
These styles pair well with darker knight skins or fiery outfits. I’d test combinations in a Creative lobby before dropping into solos—matching a skin to Sir Wyvern is faster than you think and changes how teammates react. It follows you across matches as loyal as a hound at your heel, so the aesthetic payoff lasts beyond a single round.
If you’d rather keep your current sidekicks, that’s fine—Fortnite already has a deep bench of Sprites and pet-style companions, including recent drops like the Ironmouse Sprite noted by creators on Twitch and Reddit. For trend spotting, follow Epic Games’ Twitter/X and the Item Shop trackers run by community tools and streamers.
So—will you grab Sir Wyvern and pair it with a knight skin, or let the next rotation tempt you instead?
