Doom, notorious Marvel supervillain and apparent paragon of vanity, is a special skin in Fortnite’s Marvel-themed Chapter 5 Season 4.

Though technically one of the season’s battle pass skins, as with the likes Geralt of Rivia, Solid Snake, and Indiana Jones from seasons past, the Doctor Doom skin is not unlocked through standard progression, and instead requires a series of challenges to unlock.

Here is how to unlock Doom in Fortnite, plus all the various cosmetics and challenges associated with the skin.

How to get Doom in Fortnite

To get Doctor Doom (or specifically “Doom,” as the skin is named) in Fortnite, you first need to have the Chapter 5 Season 4 battle pass. The skin itself is available as of Wednesday, Sept. 5, and once you have completed six of Doctor Doom’s dedicated list of challenges, the Doom skin is yours. From there, you can complete further challenges to unlock alternate styles and associated cosmetics.

You can unlock Doctor Doom until Chapter 5 Season 4 ends on Nov. 2 at 2 a.m. ET. Once that date has passed, the skin is no longer available to acquire — but provided you’ve unlocked it on your account before then, it’s yours to keep forever.

Doom challenges

To unlock Doctor Doom, you need to complete six challenges from the first page of dedicated Doctor Doom challenges. You can then unlock alternative styles and additional cosmetics by completing further challenges.

  2. Crack opponents’ shields (5 total)
