Discover everything you need to know about becoming Godzilla in Fortnite and which abilities you can gain to use them against enemies. Being Godzilla has become a race for every Fortnite player, as only the first player to reach the Godzilla portal can transform into this legendary kaiju.
This means that if Godzilla spawns in your game (which isn’t guaranteed), it becomes an insane race to become him. Kong can also appear in games along with Godzilla, allowing you to witness epic kaiju battles. The Godzilla portal spawns around the time of the very first storm circle, happening quite early in the game with only a 20% chance per match.
🚀 How To Be Godzilla in Fortnite
A Hollow Earth Rift Gate will appear during a match for a limited time. Players need to use the gate to become the legendary Godzilla. Becoming Godzilla grants you the ability to reveal nearby enemy locations with Roar, deliver devastating stomp attacks, and guarantee destruction with your Heat Ray.
🎯 Portal Spawn Mechanics
- 40% Base Chance – Portal appears during Storm 1’s entry in Battle Royale or Zero Build
- Random Location – Portal spawn is completely random across the map
- Security Alert – Game announces “Security Alert: Godzilla Portal is Open!”
- Map Icon – Godzilla icon shows your distance from the portal
- First Come, First Served – Only the first player to enter becomes Godzilla
Kong Connection
Kong follows Godzilla in the same match whenever he appears. However, Kong will not appear in every match when Godzilla appears. There’s a 25% chance Kong will spawn, and you cannot defeat Kong, but you’ll see him right away on the Battle Bus.
Finding the Portal
- Listen for the Security Alert announcing the portal opening
- Check your map immediately to locate the exact portal position
- Use the Godzilla icon to track your distance from the portal
- Stay in the center of the zone as portals often spawn in the next zone
- Bring a high-speed vehicle and multiple shields for the race
⏰ When & Where the Portal Spawns
There’s only a 20% chance the Godzilla portal will appear, and it happens between 3 to 3 minutes and 45 seconds into the match. The odds are similar to the Doom event from previous seasons.
⚡ Portal Timing & Probabilities
Portal Spawn Indicators
- Kong Sighting – If Kong appears on the Battle Bus, Godzilla portal is 100% guaranteed
- Storm Circle Timing – Portal opens during the first storm circle entry
- Audio Cue – Security alert announces portal opening to all players
- Visual Alert – Map updates with Godzilla icon and distance tracker
🦕 Abilities of Godzilla in Fortnite Battle Royale
After becoming Godzilla, you’ll gain a health bar at the bottom left of your screen. However, the health bar slowly drains over time, and enemies can deal damage to weaken you. You cannot survive more than 5 minutes and 30 seconds even if you take minimal damage.
🔊 Roar
Reveals all players within Godzilla’s vicinity, allowing you to track enemies and get more eliminations. Perfect for hunting down opponents who think they’re hiding.

☢️ Atomic Breath
Fire a devastating purple beam of death dealing around 250 damage within 3 seconds. You cannot turn or aim during the initial fire, so positioning is crucial.
