Fortnite Godzilla won't be dominating the battle royale island for much longer, as he's set to leave at the end of January 30, so you'll need to act fast if you want to fight the King of the Monsters. Over the weekend just gone there was a 100% chance of hearing the Security Alert siren, and while the spawn rate should be dropping down to normal again there are still opportunities to dive through the Godzilla Portal to become the Kaiju and wreak havoc with your Heat Ray power. For everyone else in the match, it's time to hit those Monarch Supply Drops and get equipped with powerful weapons to take down the monster.
The Godzilla rewards are due to be available until the start of Fortnite Season 2 in late February, meaning you have plenty of time to claim the Godzilla outfit through the Battle Pass by earning XP – though it has now left the Item Shop if you were planning to get it through that route. The Godzilla quests themselves are set to expire at the end of January 30, and Gameplay Producer Ronin Robby has confirmed that the in-game event will also end at that point. Therefore you should try and experience it now before it goes, so here's what you need to know about how to get Godzilla in Fortnite.
How to become the titan Godzilla in Fortnite
Watch out for a special portal that can appear during battle royale matches, as this is your gateway to becoming the titan Godzilla in Fortnite – note that this will not appear in every match, so if it hasn't triggered by the time the first storm circle has closed in then it's not going to feature. When it does happen a Security Alert will be displayed at the bottom of your screen and a marker will be triggered, along with an icon on your map.
The location for the Godzilla Portal is randomized between one of the seven possible spots marked on the map above, so there is an element of luck as to whether it appears near you – if you're searching for it then the best approach is to grab a fast vehicle and stay mobile to chase it down the moment it appears.

According to FNAssist, the spawn rate of Fortnite Godzilla has been increased from 20% to 40% (ie twice in every five matches on average) and if they are going to appear then it will happen in the window between 3m and 3m45s into the match, which is around the time the first storm begins to close in. If Godzilla is going to appear then there's an additional 25% chance that Kong will spawn too, so if you see the giant ape warping into a portal at the start of a match then you know that Godzilla will also arrive a short time later. On January 24, the official Fortnite account confirmed that the Godzilla spawn rate would be increased to 100% through the weekend, with Godzilla's Weak Spot Health also being significantly increased, though it's possible this how now dropped down to the previous rate until the in-game event concludes at the end of January 30.
The first player to jump through the portal will be turned into a gigantic Godzilla, who can then wage war on the island with a Roar that reveals nearby players, a Mighty Stomp Attack to launch enemies through the air, and a Heat Ray that will slice through structures and opponents alike.
This fight isn't completely one-sided though, as the remaining players can team up to take Godzilla down. Monarch supply drops will frequently land in the area, which can be searched to gain powerful weapons such as the Rail Gun. Shooting the monster's weak spots will deal additional damage, and this will also knock Godzilla's Fragments off the Kaiju, which can then be consumed to receive 40 health along with three dash charges.
When you get close to your gigantic foe a health bar for Godzilla will appear, along with another bar tracking how your Damage Inflicted compares to the current #1 player. The player who deals the most damage to Godzilla will receive the Godzilla Medallion when it is defeated – providing a recharging dash ability with up to three charges in reserve – plus the exotic Burst Quad Launcher.
