Fortnite is gearing up for an exciting update that introduces Godzilla to the iconic Battle Royale experience, and he promises to offer much more than just a flashy new skin.
Once the update rolls out, players can anticipate a wealth of new cosmetics inspired by Godzilla’s lore, alongside an innovative gameplay mechanic designed to enhance interactions on the map.
The standout feature of this update is the opportunity for players to engage directly with Godzilla. Rather than serving as a typical non-playable character (NPC), this fearsome titan can become a playable character if one player meets a specific condition.
Curious about how you can harness the power of Godzilla? Here’s everything you need to know.
Transforming into Godzilla in Fortnite
Players will need to seek out a randomly spawning portal on the Battle Royale map. To successfully transform into Godzilla, you must be the first to enter this portal before anyone else does. Keep in mind that only one player can become Godzilla per match, so quick action is essential once you spot the portal.

It’s important to note that the portal’s appearance isn’t guaranteed in every match, introducing an element of chance reminiscent of the Doom Island gameplay from a previous season.
Abilities of Godzilla
While it might be daunting to think about facing a whole lobby as Godzilla, players who transform will be endowed with unique abilities that set them apart from the rest. As recently confirmed by Epic Games in their official blog post, here are the abilities you’ll have at your disposal:
- Roar: Reveals nearby players.
- Mighty Stomp Attack: Sends players flying away.
- Heat Ray: Obliterates opponents and structures.
Details regarding Godzilla’s health have yet to be revealed, but with these abilities in hand, players will have formidable options for combat.
Impact on Other Players
For those who aren’t fortunate enough to become Godzilla, fear not! Other players can still partake in the action during the match. As one player transforms into the titan, the remaining players can strategize to bring him down. Epic Games has indicated that Godzilla will have “weak spots,” which can be targeted for increased damage.
Using the Rail Gun against Godzilla will be a strategic choice.
Additionally, defeating Godzilla will yield special loot, including Godzilla’s Fragments—consumables that restore 40 Health and provide three dash charges. Players who inflict the most damage on Godzilla will be awarded a Godzilla Medallion, which grants a permanent dash ability (with a maximum of three charges) and access to the exotic Burst Quad Launcher.
So far, the Rail Gun has emerged as a top-tier weapon against this fictional monster, delivering considerable damage with charged shots. Moreover, players are free to utilize other assets from the current loot pool, such as Shield Bubbles for protection or Shockwave Grenades for strategic repositioning.
With these enhancements and mechanics, the upcoming Godzilla update promises to redefine the battle experience in Fortnite and provide thrilling new gameplay for players. Get ready for the chaos!
