There are a lot of things to keep in mind when going for this challenge — particularly other players and knowing where to look for Doctor Doom.

Where to find Doom’s Domain and Doctor Doom

You’ll find Doctor Doom in Doom’s Domain, which is located in the northern section of the map, where Pleasant Park used to be. This area is to the north of The Authority and is marked on your map. The harder part is actually finding Doctor Doom, as he tends to patrol in different locations. From what we’ve seen, he’s usually found in the giant mansion toward the back, or the underground helipad beneath the soccer field on the south side of Doom’s Domain.

That’s why completing this challenge is slightly luck based — since other players may happen to get to Doom first. We’d recommend making a beeline for the helipad since you can easily tell if he’s patrolling the area, and if he’s not, run to the mansion at the end. It’s recommended to search for him on the upper floors of the mansion, but he can sometimes be found patrolling the outside area.

An easy way to spot him is to look out for his huge green blast, which serves as his long-range projectile. He’ll typically be shooting it at other players if they’re near. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to guarantee where he’ll spawn, so you sort of have to get lucky by reaching him first. If you’re having trouble, it might be best to wait a week or so when it’s less busy at Doom’s Domain. Currently, the area attracts a lot of players who are looking to complete the challenge.

The other thing to keep in mind is that you have to eliminate Doctor Doom three times, and since he only spawns once per match, you’ll have to play three separate matches to complete the challenge. You can join a game, take him out, and quit back to the main menu to try again.

Tips for taking him out

Doctor Doom is a formidable foe, and taking him out is way harder than eliminating one of the many henchmen or Stark Robots you’ll come across. For this reason, we recommend bringing a friend or two with you to make it easier. Your friends can put some shots into Doctor Doom to help take him down — or one of your squadmates can watch your back so you don’t get taken out by another player.

It’s certainly possible to take Doctor Doom out on your own, but if you’re going to do it solo, we recommend stocking up on shields and a decent weapon before engaging. In the video above, you can see that we grabbed an uncommon weapon to take him out, but still took quite a bit of damage due to Doctor Doom’s long-range projectiles. If you can catch him while he’s not looking at you, that’s the best time to engage in battle. Players have also had luck disguising themselves as one of Doom’s minions in the nearby telephone booth. This is an effective strategy to use if you’re having trouble.

Use equipment like grenades or stuns if you have to — anything to make it easier for you. The other thing to watch out for are enemies who are not only trying to take you out but are also trying to eliminate Doctor Doom before you. As soon as you land in Doom’s Domain, try to take out any enemies you can so you don’t have to worry about them stealing your kill. Plus, you’ll probably pick up some useful goodies in the process.

The other thing to keep in mind is that if Doctor Doom is in the underground helipad area (like in the video above), you’ll need to watch out for the enemy A.I. on the other end who will be trying to shoot at you while you attempt to complete the challenge. If you can position yourself in front of a wall, they won’t be able to see you, but this may not always be possible depending on Doom’s location.

Another piece of advice is that you must fully eliminate Doctor Doom after he goes down to secure the kill. Once you do, he’ll drop some useful items for you to pick up, like the Doom’s Domain Keycard, which opens up a nearby vault.

Where to find the secret cave in Fortnite
A player drives a motorcycle through Reckless Railways in Fortnite.

Every time Fortnite changes up the map, it becomes a whole new experience when checking out the new points of interest (POIs) and best places to land. With chapter 5 bringing some of the most dramatic changes in the map's history, a ton of secrets are out there on the island waiting to be discovered, such as a very lucrative cave. Those who have managed to wander into this hidden alcove have been rewarded with a huge stash of loot, making it a well-guarded secret among those in the know. We can't guarantee you'll survive long enough to grab all the valuables inside, but knowing where the secret cave is will at least give you and your squad a fighting chance.
Secret cave location

The secret cave is tucked along the eastern coast of the map to the northeast of Hazeyhills and southeast of Grand Glacier as seen on the map above.

Fortnite Reality Augments: full list and how to use them
Fortnite Zero Builds key art.

Every new chapter of Fortnite is a massive event. While seasonal changes bring plenty of minor tweaks and additions, it's almost always when a new chapter rolls around that major overhauls or new mechanics are introduced. Fortnite Chapter 4 was no exception, and aside from the extreme changes the island underwent, it brought one very important change to gameplay that makes a huge difference when going for that elusive victory royal (it isn't easy to win Fortnite, after all).

Augments, well, augment the game. There are a few challenges that somewhat introduce what these are, but they leave out almost all the important details for you to find out on your own. Augments need to be considered, and deeply understood, not only for when you get them yourself but to know what new tricks your opponents could have up their sleeves. Before you get taken by surprise, here's a complete breakdown of how to unlock augments and how they work in Fortnite.
What are augments in Fortnite?
Augments, or Reality Augments, are a new perk system introduced into Fortnite. There are currently 20 augments in the game, but there are 32 total that cycle in and out with each Season. You can get access to multiple augments during a single match, but augments do not carry over after a match is finished, whether you win or lose. These perks can range from modifying certain weapon types to granting buffs for performing actions, and much more. There are no bad augments, so you will want to get as many as possible. Augments also have their own tab in your menu where you can see which ones you've had so far to track your progress using them all.
