Wolves were initially added to Fortnite in Season 6 and formed part of the many tameable Wildlife in the game, such as boars and raptors. Wolves are extremely dangerous, however, and can make better companions on your side than enemies to face.
So in this guide, we're going to walk you through finding and taming wolves in Fortnite. We will also check out the benefits of adding these furry beasts to your party and why you should do so the next time you drop into the game.
Where to Find Wolves in Fortnite
Wolves are a special kind of Wildlife in Fortnite and generally travel in packs that can be seen or heard from a distance, given off by the howling and barking they tend to do when near players. They can mostly be found in grassy and woodland areas, similar to real-life wolves, but there are a few locations that have more wolves spawn than others.
These areas are:
- The Citadel
- Shattered Slabs
- Frenzy Fields
- Breakwater Bay
It is worth noting that they can sometimes be drawn away from these locations by other players or simply walk off on their own, depending on where they spawn, but these locations are the most reliable spots to find them. Alternatively, just head to wooded or grassy areas and keep an ear and eye out for them until you eventually spot a few.
How to Tame Wolves in Fortnite
Now that you've found a Wolf, the next step in adding them to your party would be to tame them. To tame a wild wolf in Fortnite, there are a few simple steps you'll need to follow, which we've broken down below:
- After finding a pack of wolves, you'll need to eliminate one of them to get acquire the "Meat" that they drop.
- Once you have this meat, you need to throw it near the wolf you want to tame and hide from the wolf.
- The Wolf will then be distracted by the meat, giving you a chance to approach it safely.
- You can press and hold the Command button to easily tame the wolf.
Now that you have a wolf by your side, it will attack anyone who gets into a fight with you for the entire match and will only disappear if it's been eliminated. But sure to keep your distance from other wild wolves as they tend to gang up on you and deal heavy damage, but at least with your furry companion at your side, you can easily take them out along with any other players that get in your way.
