Get ready to unleash chaos in Fortnite as Godzilla storms into the Battle Royale island tomorrow, January 17. Players will have their first chance to become the legendary King of Monsters, and we’ve got everything you need to know about finding the Godzilla portal in Fortnite and mastering Godzilla’s abilities.

Where to Find the Godzilla Portal in Fortnite

The Godzilla portal will appear randomly during Battle Royale matches. There is no particular location where it will spawn, but I found my luck near the eastern coastline of Shattered Span, where massive Godzilla footprints were recently discovered.

When looking for the portal, keep an eye on the sky for any unusual activity. Remember, you’ll need to be quick since only the first player who reaches and jumps through the portal will transform into Godzilla. I suggest landing in high spots at the start of matches to scan the area better and quickly glide toward the portal when it appears.

How to Play as Godzilla in Fortnite

Transforming into Godzilla in Fortnite involves a few simple steps, but you’ll need to be quick about it:

When the match starts, try to land somewhere high to get a good view of the surrounding area. The portal spawns randomly during the match, so having a good vantage point is crucial. Once you spot the portal, which should be visible from a decent distance, make your way to it as quickly as possible.

Keep in mind that other players will be racing for the same goal. Using vehicles and items like Kinetic Blade or Typhoon Blade can give you a speed advantage. When you reach the portal, simply jump through it to transform. Remember, only the first player who enters the portal gets to become Godzilla, so timing and speed are everything.

A good strategy is to land near the recently discovered Godzilla footprints at the eastern coastline of Shattered Span. Since these footprints seem to be tied to Godzilla’s arrival, the portal might appear in this area more frequently. Plus, there are plenty of chests and a Jeep spawn near the footprints, giving you resources and mobility if you need to rush to a portal elsewhere on the map.

How Godzilla Works in Fortnite

Once you become Godzilla, you’ll have access to three powerful abilities. Here is a list of all the Godzilla Abilities in Fortnite Chapter 6:

  • The Roar ability helps you spot nearby players
  • The Mighty Stomp Attack lets you send players flying,
  • The most devastating ability is the Heat-Ray, which can destroy both players and structures

Other players aren’t helpless against Godzilla though. They can target weak spots to deal extra damage and collect Godzilla’s Fragments, which provide 40 Health and 3 dash charges when consumed.

Epic Games has also unvaulted the Rail Gun specifically for this event, giving players extra firepower against the monster.

There’s a nice reward for taking down Godzilla as well. The player who deals the most damage will receive the Godzilla Medallion, which grants a recharging dash ability with up to three charges. They’ll also get their hands on the exotic Burst Quad Launcher!

Remember, this is an exciting chance to experience one of pop culture’s most iconic monsters in Fortnite. Whether you’re stomping through buildings as Godzilla or working with other players to bring down the king of monsters, the experience should be unforgettable.
