How to rescue John Wick’s Dog step by step

1 · Land

Drop at the southern building in Sinister Strip

That is where the dog’s cage is. Landing straight there gets you ahead of the pack.

2 · Gear up

Grab weapons before the fight

You will face several guards, so build a decent loadout as soon as you land.

3 · Guards

Take out the guards (heads up: more spawn)

Two appear first and, once you down them, four more arrive. Clear the area before approaching the cage.

4 · Free it

Open the cage (E / X / Square)

Interact with the cage to free John Wick’s dog.

5 · Pet it

Pet it to unlock the Sidekick

One last interact and the dog is unlocked as a Sidekick for your future matches.

Requirements and a trick

💡
TRICK You need the Season 3 Battle Pass to keep the Sidekick. And if another player already cleared the guards and opened the cage, skip the fight: just walk up and pet the dog to unlock it too.
