Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 4 is called “Absolute Doom,” and as one would expect, there are a lot of Doctor Doom-themed map changes to the island.
We’re still seeing some of the Greek mythology points of interest from earlier in the chapter, and the southwest part of the map still has the Mad Max-esque wasteland areas from Chapter 5 Season 3. The northern half of the map has gotten quite a few new Doctor Doom POIs and you’ll be able to find bosses and NPCs from the battle pass around the map, like Emma Frost.
Below, we explain the map and loot pool changes for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4.

As mentioned above, the northern part of this map got the most changes, all focused around Doctor Doom. There are four new points of interest: Doomstadt, Doom’s Courtyard, Castle Doom, and The Raft.
