Doom Guards are hostile NPCs that players can encounter in various Marvel-themed points of interest (POIs) across the Fortnite map. While these characters initially pose a threat, savvy players can turn them into valuable allies. Here’s how to convert a Doom Guard:

Doom Guards can be found patrolling several major POIs in Fortnite, including:

  • Castle Doom
  • Doom’s Courtyard
  • Doomstadt

When approaching these areas, be cautious as Doom Guards will attack if provoked.

To convert a Doom Guard into a friendly NPC, follow these steps:

  1. Engage the Doom Guard in combat
  2. Defeat the Doom Guard, bringing them to a downed state
  3. Approach the downed Doom Guard
  4. Revive the Doom Guard as you would a fallen teammate

Once revived, the Doom Guard will fight alongside you, functioning like a hired NPC until they are eliminated. This can provide a significant tactical advantage during matches.
