How to become Doom’s Chosen in Fortnite Chapter 5, season 4

Doctor Doom is quite an ominous figure overlooking everything that plays out in Fortnite Chapter Five, season four. While he’s a villain, there’s a way to gain his favor and immense power if you manage to become Doom’s Chosen.

Playing as Doom’s Chosen is one of the rarest and coolest experiences of the entire season. It’s a feature you don’t want to miss out on, so here’s how to become Doom’s Chosen in Fortnite.

How to become Doom in Fortnite

To become Doom’s Chosen in Fortnite, you need to find and claim Doom Island. This sounds a lot easier than it actually is and involves a lot of luck, skill, and patience, so here’s a complete breakdown of this process.

• Find Doom Island. This location only has a five percent chance of spawning in every match, so luck plays a huge role in whether you have any shot at becoming Doom’s Chosen. The spawn rate of this island will be occasionally boosted throughout the season, as it was boosted to 12 percent from Sept. 6 to Sept. 9, so be sure to check the official Fortnite Status page on X (formerly Twitter) to see what the current rate is.
• Capture Doom Island. This works much like the regular Floating Loot Island—you need to stay in the circle around the center area until you have fully captured it. Although this process looks the same, it’s a lot harder than the regular island since pretty much everyone wants to experience becoming Doom’s Chosen. Because of this, try to make sure you have strong loot and be ready to fight for your life multiple times while capturing the island.
• Be chosen by Doom. If you’re playing alone, you’re guaranteed to be Doom’s Chosen once you capture the area. But if you’re playing with friends, you have to decide which one of you gets to claim Doom’s powers to become his champion.
• Interact with the cauldron to claim Doom’s powers. After claiming the island, Doom’s face appears right above the cauldron, and you can interact with it to claim your epic new powers. A special cutscene plays as you’re taken into the skies above the island, then Doom sends you back down to do his bidding.
• Wreak havoc and win. Now that you have the best powers you can get, all that’s left to do is use them to win.

When you become Doom’s Chosen, your skin changes from whichever character you have equipped to Doctor Doom himself as he fully covers you in his powerful armor. You also become a lot bigger than all other characters, which makes you a bigger target, but your immense new powers are sure to keep you safe.

All Doom’s Chosen powers and how to use them in Fortnite

As Doom’s Chosen, you gain access to a collection of devastatingly powerful abilities in Fortnite. All of your skills are exclusive which means no one but you has access to them.

Here’s a breakdown of how all of the abilities you have as Doom’s Chosen work.

You lose access to your regular inventory of items upon becoming Doom’s Chosen and can’t pick up items, but you won’t need them. As Doom’s Chosen, a win is almost guaranteed since you have way more health and shields than all other players plus some really OP abilities, so as long as you stay focused, you should see the special Victory von Doom screen in no time.

Now that you’ve experienced his full potential, make sure you work through all Doctor Doom quests so you can unlock his skin before the season ends. You won’t be able to wield Doom’s Chosen powers forever, but you can add his cosmetic loadout to your collection permanently.
