To eliminate an opponent with Doctor Doom’s Monarch Pistol, you need to acquire this weapon and land a killing blow with it. Using it to eliminate an enemy is fairly easy, but there are quite a few steps you have to take before this.

Here is everything you need to do to complete the eliminate an opponent with Doctor Doom’s Monarch Pistol quest in Fortnite.

  • Find Doombot. This boss hangs around the throne room at Doom Castle near the very northeast edge of the map.
  • Defeat Doombot. Of the three bosses with Medallions, Doombot is usually the toughest to face since he has the very powerful Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets Mythic weapon. He’s not overwhelmingly tough to beat, but you’ll certainly need a solid arsenal of weapons to face him. It’s also a lot easier to take him down with friends.
  • Pick up Doctor Doom’s Monarch Pistol. It drops automatically after you defeat him along with his Medallion and Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets. You may only need the Monarch Pistol for this quest, but make sure you pick up the other two items too since they’re quite powerful.
  • Locate an opponent. Since this task calls specifically for an opponent and not a player, you can either target an NPC or an enemy player. If you want to ensure you’re able to get this task done, I recommend choosing an NPC since they’re a lot easier to deal with. You can find plenty of Doom henchmen wandering around The Raft, Doom Castle, and Doomstadt.
  • Eliminate an enemy with Doctor Doom’s Monarch Pistol. You can deal the first few strikes with any weapon, but the killing blow needs to be dealt using Doctor Doom’s Monarch Pistol to complete this quest.

As soon as you successfully eliminate one enemy using Doctor Doom’s Monarch Pistol, this quest will be completed. It’s a Mythic weapon, so vanquishing others with it is quite easy once you have obtained it. Finishing this task gets you 20,000 XP, which is a pretty decent amount sure to help you progress a fair bit on the battle pass.

If you want to claim some more XP, there are plenty of ways you can do it. You can work on quests like eliminating opponents from over 30 meters, collecting a control chip by hitting a headshot on Doom’s henchmen, and damaging opponents with Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets Mystical Bomb.
