Defeating Doombot in Fortnite provides some great rewards, including a Mythic version of the Monarch Pistol and the Siphon Medallion—which grants Health and Shield Siphon when you eliminate enemies.

Earning these rewards takes some effort, but we’re here to guide you through the process.

Doombot is only found at Castle Doom in Fortnite. Unlike the bosses from last season, you won’t have to worry him traveling around the map in a convoy. Instead, Castle Doom is always the location of Doombot.

Castle Doom is located in the northeast corner of the map. This is one of the new locations added in Fortnite Chapter Five, season four. You can see the exact spot where Doombot is located by the Medallion marker.

How to beat Doombot in Fortnite

Before tackling Doombot, I advise collecting weapons and fully charging your shields first. Doombot is strong, supported by goons, and there are likely other players nearby looking to take him down.

If you have time, eliminate the goons first to reduce the chances of being overrun. Any weapon with high damage output and a short reload time will do the trick, but make sure to have spare shields with you in case you need to recharge.

Beware of nearby players who may spring a surprise on you while you challenge Doombot, particularly as Doombot does not target other players unless they shoot him. Therefore, there is a high risk of someone thwarting your plans.
