There are now specialized Dr. Doom and Avengers Chests in Fortnite with specific loot in them as part of the Chapter 5 Season 4 “Absolute Doom” season. One of the Kickstart quests incentivizes you to find these in exchange for XP, but they also have some pretty good loot inside.
These huge loot chests are similar to ones we’ve seen in past seasons, like the faction chests or IO supply chests in Chapter 2. As expected from these harder-to-find big chests, they appear to reward more stuff than regular chests.
Below we explain where to find Dr. Doom Chests and Avengers Chests in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4.
Where to find Dr. Doom chests and Avengers chests
Your best bet to find these chests quickly is to drop on any points of interest. It doesn’t have to be one of the new four POIs (Doomstadt, Doom’s Courtyard, Castle Doom, or The Raft), as we were able to find Avengers Chests at Reckless Railways, Sandy Steppes, and the Nitrodome.
If you drop at a POI and you don’t find a chest, just head to another one and hopefully you’ll strike gold. You can also find some chests in non-POI areas. For example, we found a Dr. Doom Chest a bit south of Grim Gate being protected by some NPC enemies.
If you’re just looking for this new gear (wow, that Captain America shield is kind of broken!), then we recommend dropping at the older POIs rather than the new ones that were added this season. Since players are eager to check out the new POIs, the older ones tend to be less crowded, so there’s less competition for grabbing loot and potentially getting eliminated.
We’re not 100% sure about the following being true, but based on our matches, Dr. Doom Chests spawned more frequently at the new POIs (Doomstadt, Doom’s Courtyard, Castle Doom, and The Raft) and Avengers Chests appeared more at the older POIs.
