Which animals can you ride in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3?
There are currently only two different animals that can be ridden in Fortnite – wild boars and wolves.
It has been leaked in the past that you’ll be able to ride raptors, but the dinosaurs aren’t currently in the game. It remains to be seen if more animals will be added as the season progresses, but for now, these are the only two options.
How to ride animals in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3
In order to ride a wolf or boar in Fortnite, all you have to do is jump onto their back when you spot one out in the wild, and you’ll automatically begin riding it without having to press any buttons.
If you’re not careful when approaching them they might charge at you, which can make timing the jump a little tricky. But after a little practice, you’ll be able to grab a lift with ease.
Once you’ve successfully secured an animal, you can still aim and shoot your weapons or build structures, making them a useful tool for quickly moving to the next circle.
After a while, the animal will become tired and slow down. When this happens, you can replenish their stamina with food like apples or cabbages.
Where to find wolves and boars in Fortnite
Tracking down an animal ride isn’t always easy, but if you know where to look you can greatly increase your chances of finding one. They tend to stick in the wilderness between POIs, and they steer well clear of the desert section on the south of the island.
Wolves hunt in packs and lurk away from built-up areas, we’ve marked some notable spawns on the map below:
Meanwhile, boars are less afraid to wander closer to buildings. They tend to roam alone so they’re far easier to handle.
Again, we’ve marked their spawns on the map below:
