While there’s been some grumbling abut the inclusion of a “pen & ink” style of John Wick in the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 battle pass–since Epic has been selling the original John Wick skin in the item shop for seven years–there is one unquestionable upside to having him around. John Wick didn’t come alone. He brought his pit bull with him.
Yes, John Wick’s unnamed dog, which he adopted at the end of the first movie, is also on the battle pass as a sidekick. But unlike John himself, you can’t earn the dog just by leveling up. Instead, you’ll need to complete a quest–but don’t worry, this quest is super easy and won’t take very long once you know where to go.
The instructions for this one are simple: “Rescue or pet John Wick’s dog.” But the quest doesn’t tell you where to go. Fortunately, he’s not exactly hidden: You can find him at the Sinister Strip, in the main lobby of the large casino that stuck around from the previous version of the Strip.
On the map, you’ll find this place just below the name of the POI, like so:
You’ll find the dog in a small cage in the center of the lobby, guarded by a pair of NPC baddies. Simply click on the cage to open it, and the dog will be yours. There’s no need to worry about getting there first, however, because once the dog has been freed he will just chill out nearby for the rest of the match. Any other players who want to unlock the sidekick can walk up and pet him, as the quest instructs.
That really is all there is to it. There are no level requirements to earn the dog, or any additional tasks–though he’s not a free pet, so you will need to purchase the battle pass to unlock him.
