How to Pet Wildlife in Fortnite

Many players enjoy being able to pet creatures in-game, and there are various games that allow their fans to do so, including Fortnite. Over the years, throughout the several Fortnite seasons, many aspects of the game have changed. With the many updates that Fortnite constantly receives, wildlife has come and gone, and it has been tweaked to improve player experience.

The ability to pet animals is definitely one of the improvements made to the game. This guide will talk about the animals that players can pet in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 and show them exactly how to do it.

Where to Find Boars and Wolves

Raptors made a return to Fortnite when Chapter 4 Season 3 was released, and although players can tame and ride Raptors, they can't pet them. Thankfully, the other two rideable animals in the game, boars and wolves, can receive affection from the player.

There is no way to guarantee a wildlife spawn location in Fortnite - it's all up to chance. Boars and wolves can spawn pretty much anywhere on the map, but there are certain areas where they're most likely to be found.

These are wild creatures, so they don't tend to go near cities; this means that places like Mega City or Slappy Shores can be ruled out. Locations with grass, trees, bushes, and water sources are good places to look, especially the outskirts of named locations such as Breakwater Bay, Steamy Springs, Creeky Compound, and Shattered Slabs.

Wolves aren't as common as boars, so gamers are less likely to find them.

How to Pet Boars and Wolves

In Fortnite, it's only possible to pet a tamed animal, which means gamers have to get it to like them first before they're able to pet it.

The easiest way to tame an animal is to sprint in its direction and jump onto its back before it has a chance to attack. This can be dangerous since boars and wolves are hostile creatures at first.

It might take longer, but players that don't want to risk being hurt can sneak up to the creature and press the Tame option or give it some meat. Once an animal has been tamed, it'll allow gamers to ride it, and it'll even help out during combat. The Cloak Gauntlets are a great way to stealthily approach a creature.

To pet an animal in Fortnite, players have to jump onto its back after it been tamed and press the "pet" keybind or button. The controls will appear on the left side of the screen, and they will depend on the player's personal keybind options.
