Godzilla Spawn Locations and Timing in Fortnite

Fortnite has made quite the splash with the addition of Godzilla, now available as a formidable boss character that can wreak havoc across the game map.

Taking control of Godzilla means gaining access to some seriously destructive abilities—think razing cities and obliterating opponents. But there’s a catch: you have to be the first to find and step through a special portal to transform into the iconic kaiju. This gateway won’t just fall into your lap; it appears randomly, and only one player per match can earn the chance to morph into this legendary monster.

Curious about how you can become Godzilla in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1? Let’s break it down.

As of the latest update on January 18th, there have been adjustments to the portal’s spawn rates—making it show up twice as often as it initially did during its debut.

Where and When to Spot Godzilla in Fortnite

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to locate a portal and dive in before anyone else. A bit of a gamble, the portal doesn’t make an appearance in every round and now has a 40% chance of spawning, according to insights from HYPEX on social media. This is quite the leap from its initial 20% probability.

When the portal decides to make an entrance, it appears at random as the first Storm Circle contracts. No need to worry about missing it—your screen will flash a security alert reading “Godzilla Portal is open,” along with a helpful ping pointing out its location.

You’ll find it prominently marked on your map with a Godzilla icon. Because it spawns relatively early in the game, timing is everything. If the portal is out of reach, consider stockpiling ammo to take on Godzilla in other ways.

Got some quests up your sleeve? Two specifically require you to damage Godzilla:

To really make a dent, aim for the glowing spikes on Godzilla’s back. This gives bonus points, propelling you up the damage tally. Monitor your progress by checking the “Damage Inflicted” bar beneath Godzilla’s life bar.

Once you’ve successfully navigated the portal, you’ll step into Godzilla’s massive shoes, complete with three devastating abilities:

And if you prefer a more straightforward approach, why not simply stomp over other players to deal damage?
