How to become Godzilla in Fortnite

We're the boss now.

After investigating Godzilla’s whereabouts for some time, this ferocious monster has officially entered Fortnite. Rather than becoming a powerful boss to defeat, you can transform into Godzilla, allowing you to wreak havoc on the world and its inhabitants. Here’s how to go from a regular player into Fortnite’s latest world boss.

How to become Godzilla in Fortnite

Becoming Godzilla in Fortnite requires being the first person to jump through a rare transformation portal. During your matches, there’s a rare chance a special portal will spawn. The first person to jump into the portal will transform into Godzilla, giving you full access to its abilities and an increased health pool.

Upon transforming into Godzilla, you’ll receive the following abilities:

  • Roar: Reveal nearby players.
  • Stomp Attack: Damage and knockback nearby players.
  • Heat Ray: Damage players in a line where you’re aiming.

Aside from defeating other players and getting a massive buff to your character, becoming Godzilla also benefits you if you’re attempting to complete the event’s limited-time quests. Several objectives as you to send opponents flying with Godzilla’s stomp, destroy structures with your heat ray, or roar a few times. If you want some account XP for more Battle Pass rewards, transforming into this monster is the way to go.

How to defeat Godzilla in Fortnite

If you spot Godzilla during your matches, that means someone beat you to the transformation portal. Although they’ll appear like a massive world boss, they’re not invincible. If anything, it’s easier to defeat them than you’d expect.

The best weapon to use against Godzilla is the unvaulted Rail Gun. It’s by far the most effective weapon, considering Godzilla’s size, and it’ll help you advance through various limited-time quests, such as knocking out two birds with one stone.

Having top damage on Godzilla when defeated will grant you the Burst Quad Launcher and the Godzilla Medallion, granting you three recharging d🐠ashes that make it easier to traverse the map.
