The King of the Monsters is making a grand entrance into *Fortnite*, and it's not just through the Item Shop. Godzilla will be storming onto the Battle Royale Island, giving one lucky player each game the chance to embody the legendary monster. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to transform into Godzilla and strategize to take him down in *Fortnite*.
How To Become Godzilla in Fortnite
Starting on January 17, 2025, *Fortnite* Chapter 6 will see the iconic kaiju make his mark. To gain the upper hand over your opponents, you'll need to know how to harness the power of Godzilla. The key to transformation lies in a bit of luck. Once every game, a rift will spawn at a random location on the Battle Royale Island. Your mission? Be the first to locate and jump into this rift.
If fortune favors you and you reach the rift before anyone else, you'll emerge as Godzilla, ready to unleash chaos on the lobby. As the monster, you'll wield three formidable moves: the Roar, which pinpoints nearby players; the Mighty Stomp Attack, which sends them flying; and the devastating Heat Ray, which packs a significant punch. However, while you're reveling in your newfound power, the rest of the lobby will be plotting to bring you down.

How To Defeat Godzilla in Fortnite
If you're among the 99 players who didn't manage to reach the rift in time, prepare for the ultimate *Fortnite* challenge. Thankfully, Epic Games has equipped Godzilla with weak spots that, when hit repeatedly, will cause him to drop Fragments. These Fragments are crucial, offering 40 health and three dash charges, which enhance your mobility—a key factor in battling the beast. Utilizing dashes effectively will give you the agility needed to outmaneuver Godzilla.
*Fortnite* has also brought back the Rail Gun for this event, making it an excellent choice for inflicting substantial damage quickly. However, if you can't find a Rail Gun, higher-rarity weapons will serve you well. Spend time looting to ensure you're well-armed. The player who deals the most damage to Godzilla will be rewarded with the Godzilla Medallion, which grants a dash ability, and the exotic Burst Quad Launcher.
While missing out on becoming Godzilla might be disappointing, the rewards for defeating him are a fantastic consolation. Plus, you'll have the bragging rights of having taken down the King of the Monsters.
