Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 has introduced one of the most beloved companions in movie history: John Wick’s Dog. You can now unlock the loyal canine as a Sidekick, allowing him to accompany them in future matches.
If you’re wondering where to find John Wick’s Dog and how to add him to your collection, here’s how you can do it.
Where to Find John Wick’s Dog
John Wick’s Dog can be found at the Sinister Strip Point of Interest (POI) on the Chapter 7 Season 3 map. The dog is locked inside a cage located within the main building and is guarded by several hostile NPCs.
Some players have also reported finding the dog around the Battlewoods area, but Sinister Strip remains the most reliable location.
How to Unlock John Wick’s Dog
Follow these steps to unlock the canine companion:
Step 1: Land at Sinister Strip
Head directly to the Sinister Strip POI after jumping from the Battle Bus. Try to gather weapons before engaging the guards.
Step 2: Defeat the Guards
Several NPC guards protect the cage. Eliminate them before attempting to free the dog. Additional guards may appear once combat begins, so be prepared for a fight.
Step 3: Open the Cage
After clearing the area, interact with the cage to release John Wick’s Dog.
Step 4: Pet the Dog
Once freed, interact with the dog and pet him. Completing either the rescue or pet interaction fulfills the unlock requirement.
What If Another Player Frees the Dog First?
Don’t worry if another player reaches the dog before you. Once released, John Wick’s Dog remains nearby for the rest of the match. Approach him and pet him to complete the unlock requirement.
Battle Pass Requirement
To use John Wick’s Dog as a permanent Sidekick, you must own the Chapter 7 Season 3 Battle Pass. The Sidekick reward is tied to the Battle Pass progression. You also need to reach the appropriate reward page before claiming him permanently.
Why Players Love John Wick’s Dog
The inclusion of John Wick’s faithful companion is a nod to one of the most iconic relationships in the John Wick film series. Fans have long requested the dog as a cosmetic companion, and Fortnite has finally made it a reality by turning him into a fully featured Sidekick.
John Wick’s Dog is one of the best rewards in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3. By visiting Sinister Strip, rescuing or petting the dog, and progressing through the Battle Pass, you can permanently add the legendary companion to your locker. If you’re a John Wick fan, this is one unlock you won’t want to miss.
