Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Patch Notes: All New POIs, Weapons, Skins and More

Fans of the game are pinned into the game as Chapter 5 Season 4, as the brand new Marvel season has a ton of content. But, no season is complete without some patch notes, and all of the new ones that Epic have listed are posted below. 

Power Without Limit

With the power of Pandora’s Box, Doctor Doom has begun to establish his kingdom on the Island. Several new POIs dot the map with new foes:


Castle Doom

Fortnite Castle Doom

Dark shadows from Castle Doom loom over the Island, and its forge burns red as each metal clank rings ever closer to the completion of Doctor Doom's impervious new armor. 

Fortnite Doom's Courtyard

The nearby Doom’s Courtyard Landmark.



Doomstadt

Fortnite Doomstadt

Doomstadt is a peaceful and prosperous village full of happy, productive citizens... under penalty of Doom. 

Fortnite Fractured Four

The nearby Fractured Four Landmark.



The Raft

Fortnite The Raft

In a bid to recruit like-minded allies, Doctor Doom has summoned The Raft to the Island, a prison for supervillains and extraterrestrial threats.

Fortnite Inside The Raft

Inside of The Raft.


Doctor Doom’s henchmen have begun excavating the Island in search of artifacts. When downed, they can be persuaded to have a change of heart and fight alongside you. Everyone deserves a chance to do the right thing!

Fortnite Doom's Henchmen


Lock In, Lock On, Fire Away

It’ll take a whole lot of firepower to stop Doctor Doom’s assault. Luckily, our heroes brought the heavy munitions. 


Dual Micro SMGs

Fortnite Gwenpool and Gwenpool's Dual Micro Smgs

Two guns are better than one — embrace the spray with the Dual Micro SMGs to make quick work of your adversaries. Rendezvous with Gwenpool to pack the potent pink Mythic version!



War Machine’s Arsenal, Shoulder Auto Turret & Hover Jets

Fortnite War Machine's Auto Turret and Hover Jet

It’s time to step into the cutting edge of human-platform weapon systems. Unleash a hailstorm of bullets and rockets at your enemies with War Machine’s Arsenal, shoulder-mount War Machine’s Auto Turret for supporting fire, and turn the tide of battle from above with War Machine’s Hover Jets

Fortnite War Machine Barrage

Let loose a missile barrage to blast through enemy defenses.


Wield Arms and Medallions

Fortnite Doombot And Monarch Pistol

Your rivals best prepare for their… doom. Hit them with pinpoint accuracy by taking aim with the hair-trigger Monarch Pistol! Find and defeat the Doombot in the Castle Doom throne room to bag the Mythic version and the Siphon Medallion, which grants Health and Shield Siphon from eliminating opponents.


Boom Shaka-Shotgun! 

Fortnite Mysterio And Sovereign Shotgun

Also surgical when aiming down sight is the new lever-action boomstick: the Sovereign Shotgun! Claim victory over Mysterio in Doomstadt for the Mythic version and his Stealth Medallion, which gives temporary invisibility while crouched.



Striker Burst - Unvaultedfrosted

Fortnite Emma Frost And Striker Burst Ar

The Striker Burst Rifle returns in moddable form. Recapture The Raft prison and defeat the pristine Emma Frost to obtain the Mythic version and her Reveal Medallion. This Medallion occasionally reveals the location of nearby enemies!

 

Enhanced for the Field: Doom’s Gauntlets & Captain America’s Shield 

Fortnite Doom's Arcane Gauntlets

Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets, which drop from Doombot at Castle Doom, are back and better than ever for raining havoc from the palms of your hands. A suitable counter is charging into battle with Captain America’s Shield, unvaulted and updated with new capabilities.

(Note: Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets are not included in tournaments.)


Jarvis, Open My Weapons Cache
