Players can get Doctor Doom in Fortnite during Chapter 5 Season 4 by purchasing the Battle Pass and completing the specific challenges to unlock the skin. It is the “secret” character for the Battle Pass, despite Doom being the focus of the season, similar to Solid Snake back in Chapter 5 Season 1.

However, the challenges are not available to players yet at the start of the season and must wait 20 days until the skin can be unlocked. That means the earliest time players can get the Doom skin will be on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024.

There will be up to five challenges to complete and are usually not that difficult from the usual gameplay. The challenges usually consist of getting eliminations, using specific items, and completing objectives on the map.

How to Unlock Alt Doctor Doom Skin in Fortnite

Like previous secret Battle Pass characters, Doom will have an unlockable alt skin that players can also get during Chapter 5 Season 4. Players will be able to get the alt skin by completing the Page 2 challenges when they become available.

The challenges for both the Doom and his alt skin will be available on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024. Players will need to purchase the Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass to get the ability to unlock both skins. Once available, players will have until Nov. 2 to get both skins before the season ends. Although the Doom skin may come to the item shop in the future after the season ends, it is not a guarantee.
