The Sidekick system in Fortnite revolutionized the way players interact with their customizable companions, and the Sidekick Emote is one of the most engaging features within this mechanic. Whether it’s to show off the adorable AI companion or to add some personality to their gameplay, learning how the feature works will only add to the Fortnite experience.

What are sidekick emotes?

Sidekick Emotes are character-specific animations that let you make your Sidekick perform the cutest actions and reactions. Unlike standard player emotes, these interactive cosmetics let your companion interact with the game world to create memorable moments for you and your squad. Each Sidekick has their own emote animation that ranges from playful movements to thematic actions, reflecting their personality.​​

How to Use Sidekick Emote in Fortnite

To get started, it takes only a few easy steps. First, you’ll want to go into your Locker from the main lobby and go to the Sidekicks tab. From there, you select which Sidekick you’d like to equip and then click Edit. Here’s the important part: you’ll want to select the Sidekick Emote option to bind it to your control scheme.​

The activation process is different on every platform. PC players should scroll down their mouse wheel to trigger the Sidekick emote. Console users will have to double-tap R2 while activating it. Once triggered, your Sidekick will perform their unique animation, creating an interactive bond between you and your companion.​

Your Sidekick Emote works across Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, and developer-made islands in Fortnite. This is best during downtime between matches, in victory celebrations, or if one wants to hang out with the squad. For this, there are no gameplay advantages, which makes this purely cosmetic and social.

Biomass stands out as one of the most crucial crafting materials in LEGO Fortnite, crucial for making Power Cells that fuel all the cool vehicles added with the Mechanical Mayhem update. Biomass differs from such basic resources as wood or stone in that it is not mined directly from the landscape but rather is produced via a certain process.

How to Get Biomass in Lego Fortnite

To begin gathering biomass, a player will need to craft a Compost Bin, a utility station that breaks down organic materials into fertilizer, soil, and biomass. The recipe becomes available after crafting Planks and then interacting with a Lumber Mill. The Compost Bin also needs:​​

• 5 Planks Created at a Lumber Mill, using Wood
• 2 Soil (collected in Grasslands using a Shovel)
• 1 Sand, which is excavated from either beaches, deserts, or shore biomes
• 3 Fertilizer dropped naturally by animals like chickens, cows, and sheep​

Note: Building several Compost Bins is highly recommended, since the conversion process is notoriously slow.

Not every material yields the same amount of biomass. Bones are the best, readily available option with 2 biomass each. You can get bones by killing skeletons, which spawn at night. Composting only 25 bones gives you exactly 50 biomass, which will suffice to craft one Power Cell.​​

To get even more yield, Brute Scales and Cursed Bones each yield 3 biomass, although they are much rarer. Cow, wolf, and sheep meat also works quite well and produces consistent biomass yield. Other organic items, such as berries, eggs, vines, and wheat, can be composted but typically yield less biomass and additional products like fertilizer and soil.
