The online shooter Fortnite is caught up in the Marvel craze. Since the beginning of September, players have been able to transform into a Chosen of Doctor Doom. With the new patch that came this week, the era of Iron Man has begun. For some, it’s gigantic fun, for others, just annoying.
So it was since the beginning of September: The Season 5 Chapter 4 has brought more chaos back to Fortnite. From early September until October 5th, you can become the Chosen of Doctor Doom.
With a small chance, the Isle of Doom appears in a match. Those who prevail here can transform themselves or a teammate into “Doom’s Chosen”.
With this ability, you become a kind of final boss in the game of Fortnite, gain 500 health points, and can use numerous overpowered weapons: a laser beam, you can kick down from the air, and you have a magical giga bomb.
Doctor Doom’s Chosen has become the final boss in Fortnite
How powerful was Doctor Doom? Those who transform into Doom’s Chosen can deal a lot of damage in a Fortnite match and were 5 times harder to defeat than a normal player.
However, this is a rare event, as the island appears only sporadically.
What has changed now? With the new patch that came to Fortnite this week, new mythical “Iron Man” gear appeared in Fortnite. The Flight Kit allows players to take off into the air, while the Combat Kit enables firing a slow laser beam and faster repulsor blasts.
If you combine both armor kits, you are ideally equipped to take down Doctor Doom.
As Gamesradar notes, even the “Iron Man” gear is not a guarantee for victory over the “final boss of Fortnite,” but a good start.
Not everyone likes it when Fortnite uses such clearly overpowered weapons, as they distort the notion that the strongest player always wins. However, with such chaotic and overpowered forces, it allows even those who usually play no significant role in Fortnite to shine suddenly: Chapter 5 is the worst chapter of Fortnite for many players because they have to endure the most annoying weapons.
