All unofficial Fortnite Pets

In addition to the officially labeled Pets, there are also a couple of unofficial Pets that do just about everything regular ones do but aren’t classified as such. The only difference with these is that you can’t pet them when other players have them equipped, but they otherwise have unique reactions to almost everything that happens in the game like regular Pets do.

Beyond these ones, there are plenty of others that could be classified as Pets if they had the label too. This collection of Back Blings includes all reactive creatures, although these ones are slightly less reactive overall than the previously mentioned ones. They’re still very lively and react enough to warrant being included here, falling under the Pet category since this term refers to any reactive Back Bling that’s some kind of sidekick or animal.

How to unlock Fortnite Pets

Most Fortnite Pets are exclusively unlockable by leveling up in old battle passes. Since most official Pets are currently battle pass exclusive items, there’s no way to get them.

If any new Pets are featured on a battle pass in the future, they may be released as shop items because of the battle pass exclusivity changes. But old Pets currently cannot be sold in the shop, although this could change. For now, though, you can’t get any of the official Pets. The shop ones could technically return at any point, but Claptrap hasn’t come back since they were released and Empress was last seen in 2022.

Although you can’t get any of the official Pets in Fortnite unless you previously managed to obtain them from their respective battle passes, there are still plenty of unofficial ones you can get.

Does Fortnite still make Pets?

Fortnite and Epic Games haven’t said they no longer make Back Blings that react like Pets, but there hasn’t been a new official Fortnite Pet since June 8, 2021. Every Pet-like Back Bling released since cannot be pet by other players, but otherwise functions like an actual Pet.

With this information in mind, it currently doesn’t seem like Fortnite makes any official Pets anymore. If this changes, we’ll update all relevant information here, but for now, the only ones you can get are unofficial.
