How to tame wild boars in Fortnite
Boars are usually hostile to contact. You won’t be able to befriend them by walking and petting them, at least not at first. What you will want to do is grab some vegetables, such as corn, apples, and cabbage, before walking up to one of these animals.
Next, you’ll want to toss in some veggies and wait for the wild boars to come over. They will emit a translucent glow, indicating that they are interested in eating. Once they’ve started chewing, it’s your chance to tame them. Just go up and press the button / key to interact.
Make sure you have enough veggies before trying this. Wild boars eat very fast, becoming hostile again once all the food is gone. Throwing a bunch of food on the ground in one area is the best way to make sure you tame the animal on the first try.
How to tame wolves in Fortnite
Wolves are similarly domesticated, but the difference is that they prefer meat to vegetables. To get some meat, you have to hunt some animals, wolves or otherwise, and collect the meat that they throw away. Be warned though – trying to tame a wolf after killing its pack can be tricky. It’s not that you can’t tame them, it’s that they are more likely to give up meat and attack you if they see you actively killing their relatives.
Where to find wild boars and wolves in Fortnite
When it comes to locating a wolf or wild boar, you will want to stick to the most primary areas of the map; more Boney Burbs or Weeping Woods and less Pleasant Park or Sweaty Sands. Wolves roam the forests in those areas. Boars do too, but (apparently) to a lesser extent.
With that said, if you’re looking to quickly tame some wild boars, we recommend heading to Colossal Crops. You will not only find a group of wild boars in a pen on the western side of the farm-like area, but many crops as well. If you plan your approach correctly, you should be able to tame multiple boars in a few minutes.
Once tamed, both wolves and wild boars will follow you wherever you go. They will also attack nearby enemies in a similar way to hired NPCs that roam the map. They can get stuck in obstacles (stay out of the water) and occasionally get lost. Still, being able to befriend animals in this way is pretty cool. Who couldn’t use a friend right now?
