How to beat Godzilla in Fortnite

"If we don't stop Godzilla now, what's to become of us?"

The roaring Godzilla has taken over Fortnite, setting its mark with its notorious Heat Ray. As you can imagine, it’ll be quite hard to deal with, especially when you can get smushed to pieces with its heavy stomp.

But, if you think you’re ready to tackle this monster, here’s how to beat Godzilla in Fortnite.

Fortnite Godzilla boss guide

When entering the Battle Royale map, you may find Godzilla after a player transforms into it through a rare portal. Only one player can do this, so you won’t have to deal with a bunch of monsters all at once. However, the chances of it spawning are pretty low, but you can exit the match after a few minutes to hopefully spawn it in the next game. You first want to pinpoint Godzilla’s weak points: the illuminated spiky parts on the back of its body. If it stops glowing, you’ll know that it’s working.

Targeting the beast’s weaknesses provides Godzilla’s Fragments, which reward you with 40 Health and three dash charges. Make sure to pick those up if you’re in a pinch, or use Shield Bubbles to protect yourself even more. The Rail Gun and Quad Launcher are the best weapons against Godzilla, so try to look for them in chests or other lootable objects. If you don’t have any of the guns, utilize any tools with more extended range, like Assault Rifles. That way, you don’t have to get up close and personal with the beast.

While you’re on the offensive, watch out for these attacks from Godzilla:

  • Roar: Reveals nearby players
  • Mighty Stomp Attack: Sends you flying when too close
  • Heat Ray: Godzilla’s most iconic attack that deals a considerable amount of damage

You’ll earn the Godzilla Medallion and Burst Quad Launcher if you can deal the most damage to Godzilla. The medallion, in particular, offers a rechargeable dashing ability to give you a little more speed. In addition to the two items, you’ll get some XP from the Godzilla quests when hitting it with a Qu൲a🦋d Launcher or Rail Gun and inflicting the most damage against the monster.

To complete the rest of the Godzilla quests, you must become Godzilla yourself by hopping through its randomly spawned portal. Then, you can start your rampage and let everyone know who the boss of Fortnite Battle Royale is.
