The theory suggests Epic Games intended the mechanic for removing Doctor Doom\u2019s henchmen to serve a later plot twist. In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4, Castle Doom became a central location. This new point of interest is home to Doctor Doom, whom you can defeat to earn his medallion and mythic, along with his henchmen. When the season dropped, players could revive Doom\u2019s henchmen after downing them. This mechanic allowed players to temporarily recruit these NPCs as allies for the rest of the match. Recently, Epic Games pulled this feature without prior notice \u2013 and left no trace of its existence either. On Reddit, players speculated that its sudden removal might hint at a forthcoming story beat. Commenters quickly warmed up to this theory. \u201cYeah, with how quickly it was removed, my guess is it wasn\u2019t intended to be a feature at launch, but rather later on during the season,\u201d one player mused. Some believe the Doom Guards might later refuse to work for Doctor Doom, instead becoming allies for players. \u201cThis week\u2019s history quest is headshotting them to take off the brain chip,\u201d one player remarked, \u201cso I\u2019m sure next week is about them.\u201d Reactions continued with one player speculating, \u201cNo way \u2018give a second chance\u2019 is unintentional.\u201d When reviving a regular teammate in Fortnite, the prompt simply says \u201cRevive.\u201d Epic Games added a special touch by changing the button\u2019s prompt to \u201cGive a second chance\u201d for Doom Guards. This change fuels the theory that Epic intended it for a future plot twist. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 keeps serving up unexpected storylines. And it\u2019s not the first time a story beat has landed oddly \u2013 analyzing the end of Chapter 5 Season 3, Doctor Doom starts to look more like a hero than a villain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite players believe revive was removed because it spoiled a future plot twist Fortnite\/DexertoFortnite players think Epic Games might have let slip a big story beat too soon.
