Get ready, *Fortnite* fans, because the King of the Monsters, Godzilla, is making a colossal entrance into the game, and he's not just gracing the Item Shop. Starting January 17, 2025, Godzilla will stomp onto the Battle Royale Island in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, giving one lucky player per game the chance to embody this legendary kaiju. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to transform into Godzilla and how to take him down in *Fortnite*.
How To Become Godzilla in Fortnite
To harness the power of Godzilla in *Fortnite*, you'll need to rely on a bit of luck. As of January 17, 2025, a special rift will spawn at a random location on the Battle Royale Island each game. Your mission? Be the first to find and jump into this portal. If fortune smiles upon you and you reach the rift before anyone else, you'll emerge as Godzilla, ready to unleash chaos on the lobby.
As Godzilla, you'll have three powerful moves at your disposal: the Roar to locate nearby players, the Mighty Stomp Attack to send them flying, and the devastating Heat Ray to deal massive damage. While you're reveling in your newfound power, remember that the entire lobby will band together to bring you down.

How To Defeat Godzilla in Fortnite
If you're among the 99 players who didn't make it to the rift in time, prepare for an epic showdown with Godzilla. Fortunately, Epic Games has provided the monster with specific weak spots. Targeting these areas enough will cause Godzilla to drop Fragments, which you should pick up as they grant 40 health and three dash charges—essential for staying mobile and effective in the fight.
For this event, *Fortnite* has unvaulted the Rail Gun, a potent weapon that can deal significant damage quickly. If you're fortunate enough to find one, it's your best bet for taking down Godzilla. However, don't overlook higher-rarity weapons; thorough looting will pay off. Dealing the most damage to Godzilla will earn you the prestigious Godzilla Medallion, which comes with a dash ability, and the exotic Burst Quad Launcher.
While missing out on becoming Godzilla might be a bummer, these rewards are fantastic consolation prizes. Plus, you'll have the bragging rights of defeating the King of the Monsters—a feat worthy of any *Fortnite* player's resume.
That's your ultimate guide to becoming and defeating Godzilla in *Fortnite* Chapter 6. For more *Fortnite* adventures, check out how to solve all the riddles in the Nightshift Forest.
