Fortnite’s new map for Chapter 5 Season 4 goes heavy on the Marvel influence that can also be seen throughout its new battle pass.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the Fortnite map changes for Chapter 5 Season 4, which you’ll see is aptly nicknamed Absolute Doom.
This includes multiple new named locations, as well as some secrets to emerge once Fortnite downtime ends and everyone can jump in for themselves.
Epic has taken to revising specific quadrants or major connected sections of the map each season rather than jump around the island with differences here and there.
This season, that results in the northwest quadrant of the map getting overhauled most of all, with three new named locations in this region.
Marvel is a major theme in Fortnite’s new Chapter 5 Season 4 map, and this influence extends to the game’s new battle pass. Though the object you see above has a lot of similarities to Stark Industries, this season of Marvel heavily emphasizes Doctor Doom instead of the many references to Tony Stark that were present in the previous season.
This implies that certain areas of the map will appear darker and more covered in an ethereal green glow. The Fortnite map changes for Chapter 5 Season 4, which goes by the fitting moniker Absolute Doom, will be explained in this guide.
Several newly designated spots will also be revealed, along with a few secrets, after the Fortnite outage is over and players are free to explore at their leisure.
Instead of hopping around the island with minor changes here and there, Epic has started to update specific quadrants or major connected sections of the map every season. The northwest section of the map is the most altered this season as a result, receiving three new named locations.
This could strangely suggest that locations such as the Nitrodrome are still there, but as you’ll see, they’ve undergone some changes, and their bosses have left the areas to better showcase the new bosses that will be appearing this season as well as for narrative purposes.
The new points of interest (POIs) for this season are:.
Pleasant Plaza from the previous few seasons has been replaced by The Raft.
This chapter begins in December of last year with the appearance of Doomstadt, taking the place of Lavish Lair.
Classy Courts’ former location is taken over by Castle Doom (I will miss that music).
Check out the screenshots below, supplied by Epic, for a closer look at some of these locations. They feature our heroes and villains engaged in combat throughout the island.
