These issues come just after the kick-off for Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 5 Season 4: Absolute Doom. As the name implies, this season brings Marvel’s Doctor Doom into Fortnite, and he’s taken control of a chunk of the island with his army, including the iconic Doombot.
Players are fighting back across new points of interest by gathering special Marvel hero gear, such as War Machine’s Arsenal, Auto Turrets, and Hover Jets. There’s also a number of unvaulted weapons like the Striker Burst Rifle, Ranger Pistol, and Hyper SMG. Captain America’s shield — first included all the way back during an Avengers: Endgame event — has also returned, letting players throw and fight with newfound heroism.
Fortnite Battle Royale is currently available as a free-to-play game across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.
