Rich Sanchez is a popular character from the Rick and Morty show. The character was first introduced in the game with the Chapter 2 Season 7 Battle Pass and players had to unlock him by leveling up.

With the release of the v22.20 update on Tuesday, October 18, Epic Games added Summer and Mr. Meeseeks, two popular characters from the show. The November 1 update has added the Pickle Rick backbling.

Fortunately, the new cosmetic item can be obtained for free. To do this, you have to play the Horde Rush mode and complete quests in it. More specifically, the Pickle Rick back bling requires you to complete eight Horde Rush quests.
