Fortnite Chapter 6 is still rumbling on, and Epic Games’ popular shooter is continuing to push what’s possible in a live-service title as it pivots to becoming somewhere to play a whole host of experiences.
The game’s latest event, Titan Takedown, will let players step into the big, scaly feet of Godzilla, King of the Monsters, as he wreaks havoc on other players. Players can even unlock a Godzilla Evolved skin for their troubles.
Here’s all you need to know about the Fortnite Godzilla event, including when you can play.
Fortnite Titan Takedown start time
Fortnite’s latest event kicks off on Friday, January 17 at around 2PM GMT (that’s 9AM EST or 6AM PST) for players to jump into.
It’s part of the massive v33.20 patch which arrived earlier this week, so be sure your game is updated to take part.
Fortnite Titan Takedown Explained
Despite the hype around Godzilla, he’s not the only titan joining the fray with this update as Kong will also be stomping his way onto the island.
Players can become Godzilla by heading through a small portal somewhere on the map. Godzilla has three abilities to use:
- Mighty Stomp – send enemies flying
- Heat Ray – ranged attack that deals damage to enemies and structures
- Roar – reveal nearby enemies
Players that don’t get to play as Godzilla will have plenty of help to take him down, though. The Rail Gun has been unvaulted, and there’s a Shield Bubble to help prevent damage.
The player that deals the most damage to the big lizard will earn the Godzilla Medallion and Burst Quad Launcher weapon, too.
How to get the Godzilla Evolved skin
Looking for a longer-lasting reminder of your time fighting Godzilla? Players that own the Hunters Battle Pass can complete a series of quests to unlock the Godzilla Evolved outfit and a series of accessories.
Completing them all will unlock the Energized Godzilla style, but quests are only available until February 21 so you’ll need to move quickly.
