What You Should Know About Fortnite Day of Doom LTM
With Doctor Doom taking center stage as the main boss of Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 5, Season 4, the Day of Doom mode brings an epic showdown between the Avengers and Doom’s Henchmen. This mode allows up to 32 players, split into two teams: Allies of the Avengers and Doom’s Henchmen.
Since it’s a Limited-Time Mode (LTM), it’s only available until October 4 at 9 AM ET. This gives you less than a month to jump into the action. Here’s how to play the latest game mode in Fortnite.
How to Play Fortnite Day of Doom LTM
You’ll find the Day of Doom mode in the Discover section, where you can choose to play as either Doctor Doom’s henchmen or an ally of the Avengers.
Playing as an ally of the Avengers
If you’re on the Avengers’ side, your goal is to stop Doom’s henchmen from collecting all 6 Arcane Artifacts scattered across the island. You’ll win the battle if you and your fellow Avengers can kill all the henchmen—who have numerous but limited respawns—before they collect the Artifacts. It might sound easy, but it actually demands serious grinding.
On the plus side, Avengers in this new mode have unlimited respawns. But once Doom’s henchmen collect all six Artifacts, you and the other Avengers’ allies won’t be able to respawn, so you’ll lose. The mode also offers up to four different loadouts based on various Avengers, with one randomly assigned to you each time you respawn.
Playing as a Doom’s henchman
On the other hand, you can play as one of Doom’s Henchmen, with the goal of collecting all six Artifacts while managing your respawns. Once you have all the Artifacts, the Avengers won’t be able to respawn, so you’ll just need to take them out one last time to secure the win.
An important tip you can use to win this game is to be the first Doom henchman to collect an Artifact, as this makes you Doom’s Chosen. This unlocks Doom’s armor and powerful abilities like the Mystical Gigabomb and Scorch Beam, making you a nearly unstoppable force in the game.
All Loadouts in Day of Doom
Day of Doom features a single loadout for Doom’s henchmen, who gain full access to all items after collecting a certain number of artifacts. Avengers, on the other hand, have access to up to four different loadouts, each randomly assigned to players on respawn. Here are the loadouts you can match with in Day of Doom:
