Fortnite's new Doctor Doom update has the chance to turn you into a living, breathing boss battle, with enormous laser beams and an even bigger health bar

The Doctor Doom skin in Fortnite.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 just got way more chaotic thanks to a ridiculously overpowered new Doctor Doom power that has a chance of turning one player per match into a near-unstoppable killing machine.

As of yesterday's update, the Fortnite quests for Battle Pass owners to unlock the Doctor Doom skin and cosmetics are live, but a significant change has also been made to the main Battle Royale mode. Namely, up until October 5 at 1:30PM ET/ 10:30AM PT/ 6:30PM BST, in non-Ranked Battle Royale, there's a small chance of Loot Island (the location that gives you loads of great weapons and items if you manage to claim the flag on it) being replaced with the Isle of Doom. Instead of a flag to capture, it houses Doom's Cauldron, which – when claimed – will transform either you or one of your teammates into Doom's Chosen.
