Fortnite: How to Get the Calm Capy Sidekick

Calm Capy is a capybara companion in Fortnite, sold as an Uncommon Sidekick described as “a giant rodent of peace and serenity.” It belongs to the Cutie-bara set and is a purely cosmetic follower, so it stays by your side without adding anything to combat.

Quick answer: Open the Item Shop, scroll to the Signal Boost section, and buy Calm Capy for 1,200 V-Bucks before it leaves on August 25, 2026 at 8 PM ET.

Buy Calm Capy from the Fortnite Item Shop

Calm Capy is only sold on its own for V-Bucks. It is not attached to any bundle, so there is no discounted route to it the way some other Sidekicks are offered inside a pack. You need 1,200 V-Bucks on your account before you start.

You will know the purchase worked when Fortnite shows the item-acquired notification and Calm Capy appears as an equippable Sidekick in your locker. If it does not appear, the most common cause is not having the full 1,200 V-Bucks balance, since the item carries no bundle discount.

Price and shop availability

Calm Capy arrived with the Item Shop reset on August 15, 2026 at 8 PM ET. It is scheduled to rotate out ten days later, so there is a fixed window to pick it up before it leaves.

If you are short on currency, you have time to top up before the deadline. Redeeming a V-Bucks card adds the balance to your account so you can complete the purchase in-game.

Sidekick Points rewards for Calm Capy

Once Calm Capy is in your locker, you can earn extra cosmetics tied to it by collecting Sidekick Points. These unlocks cover an alternate style, a reaction, and an emote.

Note: Calm Capy is a companion cosmetic, not a fighting Sprite. It will not help in gunfights, so treat the purchase as a look-and-feel choice rather than a gameplay boost. If you would rather hold your V-Bucks, you can keep playing without any Sidekick equipped.
