Summary
- Godzilla is Fortnite’s latest collaboration, and gamers can either become the Kaiju or take him down.
- After fan feedback, Epic Games has upped Godzilla’s spawn rate to 100 percent in matches.
- Previously, the spawn rate reportedly hovered around 20 percent, meaning not everyone got to experience the crossover.
Fortnite’s latest collaboration brings an epic twist to the game as Godzilla storms onto the island. Starting January 17 and continuing through mid-February, players can join forces to battle the legendary Kaiju or, if fortune favors them, take control of Godzilla and unleash chaos. The event’s mechanics are reminiscent of the Doctor Doom gameplay, adding an exciting layer of strategy and mayhem for fans of the iconic monster and Fortnite alike.
Until recently, the spawn rate for Godzilla in the game was fixed, adding a layer of unpredictability for players. According to esports.gg, the spawn rate was approximately 20%, meaning only a fraction of players had the opportunity to encounter or transform into the iconic monster. This limitation sparked frustration among fans, many of whom urged Epic Games to increase the spawn rate to 100% for a more inclusive and thrilling experience.
Well, Epic Games listened and Godzilla has been fixed for good.
Everyone Can Be Godzilla
Fortnite announced on Twitter that starting this Friday and continuing through the weekend, Godzilla will spawn in every match—no longer a rare encounter but a guaranteed challenge for all players. To make things even more thrilling, Godzilla’s health has been significantly increased, raising the stakes and turning each encounter into a more intense and dangerous battle.
At the time of writing, it remains uncertain whether Epic Games will extend the availability window until the event concludes. Considering there are quests linked to Godzilla’s appearance, keeping him accessible for as long as possible would make sense for players aiming to complete those challenges.
Fans were thrilled by the news of Godzilla’s arrival. One Reddit user shared their excitement, saying, “After spamming matches and leaving if Godzilla didn’t appear, or if I couldn’t play as him for an entire week straight, I finally got to be him last night! Now I’m relieved to know it might not be my last chance.” It’s clear that Godzilla’s inclusion has sparked widespread enthusiasm among players, and his presence ensures everyone has a chance to enjoy the experience.
