Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom – A Battle Royale Adventure with Marvel’s Infamous Doctor Doom
Epic Games has once again spiced up Fortnite Battle Royale with an exciting new chapter—Chapter 5, Season 4, aptly named "Absolute Doom." This season brings a unique crossover with Marvel, featuring the diabolical Doctor Doom as the main antagonist. Doctor Doom, having acquired the destructive power of Pandora’s Box, has taken over parts of the Battle Royale Island. Players are now called upon to join Marvel heroes Gwenpool, Shuri from Wakanda, and War Machine to thwart Doom’s sinister plans and reclaim the island.
The Challenge: Doctor Doom’s Domains
Doctor Doom has established several Points of Interest (POIs) across the island, each guarded by his loyal henchmen. These areas serve as battlegrounds where players can engage in high-stakes combat to dismantle Doom’s stronghold.
Castle Doom
At the heart of Doom’s domain lies Castle Doom, a towering fortress that casts dark shadows over the island. Inside, the forge burns fiercely as Doctor Doom works to complete his empowered armor. Time is of the essence, and heroes must act swiftly to disrupt his plans.
The Raft
Doctor Doom has summoned The Raft, a notorious prison for extraterrestrial threats and supervillains, to the island. Here, he seeks to recruit like-minded allies to fortify his army. Players will need to navigate through this perilous area, battling Doom’s recruits to weaken his forces.
Doomstadt
Overlooking the Latverian village of Doomstadt, Doctor Doom’s castle stands as a symbol of his control. Doom keeps a watchful eye over the village, ensuring his dominion remains unchallenged. Players must explore this area to uncover Doom’s schemes and counteract his influence.
Doctor Doom’s henchmen are not just obstacles; they can be turned into allies. When downed, these henchmen can be persuaded to switch sides and fight alongside players, offering everyone a second chance.
Assemble Your Arsenal
To combat Doctor Doom’s forces, players have access to an array of powerful weapons and gadgets inspired by Marvel heroes.
Gauntlets vs. Shield
Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets make a return, allowing players to rain havoc from their palms. These gauntlets are countered by Captain America’s Shield, which has been unvaulted and updated with new capabilities, offering a balanced approach to combat.
Dual Micro SMGs
Gwenpool brings the Dual Micro SMGs, which are effective in close combat. These SMGs are available in a potent pink Mythic version, emphasizing the saying that two guns are better than one.
War Machine’s Arsenal
War Machine’s Arsenal includes a variety of high-tech weapons. Players can unleash a barrage of bullets and rockets with War Machine’s Arsenal, deploy an Auto Turret for additional fire support, and use Hover Jets to gain an aerial advantage.
Monarch Pistol and Siphon Medallion
The Monarch Pistol allows for precise targeting, and players can obtain a Mythic version by defeating the Doombot in Castle Doom. Additionally, the Siphon Medallion grants health and shield recovery upon eliminating opponents, providing a vital edge in battle.
Striker Burst Rifle
The Striker Burst Rifle makes a return in a moddable form. Players can earn the Mythic version and the Reveal Medallion, which occasionally reveals the location of nearby enemies, by defeating Emma Frost at The Raft.
Sovereign Shotgun
The Sovereign Shotgun is perfect for mid-range combat. Defeating Mysterio in Doomstadt rewards players with the Mythic version and the Stealth Medallion, granting temporary invisibility while crouched.
Unvaulted Weapons
Several previously vaulted weapons are now available for use in "Absolute Doom," including the Striker Burst Rifle and Shockwave Grenade. These additions provide players with even more options to tailor their combat strategies.
The Absolute Doom Battle Pass
The Absolute Doom Battle Pass offers players the opportunity to earn rewards by gaining XP across various Fortnite game modes, including creator-made islands, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. The Battle Pass is available for 950 V-Bucks and allows players to earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks by leveling up.
