Godzilla has arrived in Fortnite as a playable boss that can stomp across the map.
Transforming into Godzilla gives you access to powerful abilities that can level cities and annihilate other players — as long as you’re the first to enter a special portal. Becoming Godzilla is easier said than done as you must find the portal that spawns randomly, and only one player can turn into deadly kaiju a game.
Here’s how to find and become Godzilla in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.
Update (Jan. 18): There has been a change to the spawn rate of Godzilla’s portal, which is reportedly now double since it first appeared in the game.
When and where Godzilla spawns in Fortnite
To become Godzilla in Fortnite, you’ll need to find a portal and be the first player to jump inside. However, a difficulty is the portal does not appear in every match, and only has a 40% chance of appearing (according to HYPEX on X, which is double the 20% spawn rate when Godzilla first debuted).
If the portal spawns, it’ll appear in a random location as soon as the first Storm Circle begins to shrink. You’ll know when this happens as a security alert will pop up on the bottom half of your screen with the message “Godzilla Portal is open”, along with a ping with the portal’s location.
You can also open your map to see the portal’s location, which is marked with an icon of Godzilla:
As the portal spawns fairly early on in the game, you’ll have very little time to reach the portal if it doesn’t spawn in your vicinity, as there are a lot of players still alive. If it spawns far away from you, your best bet is to hoard as much ammo as you can to take Godzilla down.
There are two quests that can be completed by damaging Godzilla:
- Acquire Godzilla’s Medallion by doing the most damage to him
- Hit Godzilla using a Quad Launcher or Rail Gun
The best way to rack up damage is to shoot the glowing spikes along Godzilla’s back. This will deal bonus damage, and shoot you up the damage charts. To check if you’re dealing the most damage against Godzilla, look at the “Damage Inflicted” bar beneath Godzilla’s health bar.
How to play as Godzilla in Fortnite
After you enter the portal, you’ll become Godzilla and gain three abilities:
- Roar — Unleash a roar that reveals nearby players
- Mighty Stomp — Launch your enemies as you stomp the ground.
- Heat Ray — Fire a laser capable of destroying players and structures.
Additionally, you can forgo the abilities and simply walk over other players to do damage!
