Butter Buddy — common questions
When was Butter Buddy last in the item shop?
Butter Buddy was last seen in the Fortnite item shop on 2 November 2023. We've recorded 19 appearances since we began tracking the shop on 5 August 2026.
How much does Butter Buddy cost?
We don't have a recorded price for Butter Buddy. We only know an item's price from days it has appeared in the shop while we were tracking it, and this emote hasn't.
Can you still get Butter Buddy?
Most Fortnite cosmetics return to the item shop on rotation, but Epic doesn't publish a schedule and some items — battle pass rewards and promotional items in particular — never come back. There's no reliable way to tell in advance which category any given emote falls into.
What set is Butter Buddy part of?
Butter Buddy is part of the Shortnitemares set. Items in a set are usually released together and often return to the shop together, though Epic sometimes rotates them individually.
