Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 has taken the excitement to another level with an epic crossover introducing the legendary King of the Monsters, Godzilla, to its battle royale island. This jaw-dropping collaboration not only delivers a stunning Godzilla skin, but also introduces a revolutionary gameplay mechanic that allows players to transform into the kaiju itself. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of this monstrous update.
How to Unlock the Godzilla Skin
To unleash your inner kaiju, you’ll need to grab the Chapter 6 Season 1 Battle Pass for 1,000 V-Bucks. Along with other rewards, the Battle Pass unlocks access to Godzilla-themed quests, which dropped on January 17, 2025. Complete these quests to earn the coveted Godzilla skin and stand out on the battlefield with its awe-inspiring design.
Transforming Into Godzilla
Fortnite has added a unique gameplay twist: special Godzilla portals that randomly appear across the island. Stepping into one of these portals transforms you into the King of the Monsters himself! As Godzilla, you gain access to two devastating abilities:
- Heat Ray: A fiery beam that can obliterate your enemies.
- Mighty Stomp: A ground-shaking attack that leaves destruction in its wake.
These abilities bring an entirely new level of chaos to matches, giving players a rare opportunity to dominate the island in kaiju form.
The Godzilla Medallion: A New Trophy
The Godzilla Medallion is the ultimate prize in Chapter 6 Season 1. To claim it, you must deal the most damage to Godzilla during a match. The medallion serves as a symbol of victory over the mighty beast and comes with unique perks, including:
- Three Dashes: A mobility boost similar to the Underworld Dash from Chapter 5 Season 2.
- Special Loot: An Exotic Burst Quad Launcher, along with other high-rarity items.
However, there’s a catch: the medallion makes you a target. Your location is marked on the map, so stay alert, as other players will be gunning for you and your prize.
Where to Find Godzilla and His Portal
Godzilla spawns at seven fixed locations on the map, ensuring you’ll encounter him in every match. Look for him at these Points of Interest (POIs):
- Hopeful Heights
- Masked Meadows
- Seaport City
- South of Seaport City
- East of Nightshift Forest
- South of Pumped Power
- South of Lost Lake
Once you spot the portal or come face-to-face with Godzilla, get ready for an epic showdown.
How to Defeat Godzilla and Claim the Medallion
Taking down Godzilla requires strategy and firepower. Follow these tips:
- Gear Up: Loot a Monarch Supply Drop for high-powered weapons like the Rail Gun or Burst Quad Launcher, as well as consumables to keep you alive.
- Aim for Weak Points: Focus your attacks on Godzilla’s weak spots for maximum damage.
- Keep Your Distance: Avoid staying too close to the kaiju, as his attacks are devastating.
- Track Your Damage: A damage meter will show if you’re the top contributor to his defeat. If you’re in the lead when Godzilla is taken down, the Godzilla Medallion will automatically appear before you.
Once you have the medallion, stay cautious. If another player eliminates you, they can steal the medallion and its perks.
To survive and thrive in Chapter 6 Season 1, equip yourself with the best gear. Whether you’re hunting Godzilla or aiming for a Victory Royale, weapons like the Rail Gun and Burst Quad Launcher are excellent choices. Check out our full Fortnite weapons tier list for more recommendations.
