Fortnite Community Speculates Revive Feature Removal Linked to Upcoming Plot Development

Some Fortnite players believe that Epic Games may have revealed a major plot point prematurely. The speculation is that the mechanic used to eliminate Doctor Doom’s henchmen was originally meant for a later plot twist.

In the fifth chapter of Fortnite’s fourth season, Castle Doom emerged as a prominent spot on the map. This latest addition is the residence of Doctor Doom, who can be defeated to obtain his medallion and mythic items, in addition to his henchmen.

When the season was released, players had the ability to revive Doom’s henchmen after defeating them. This feature allowed players to temporarily enlist these NPCs as allies for the remainder of the game.

Recently, the feature was removed by Epic Games without any prior notice or indication of its existence. On Reddit, players have been speculating that this sudden removal may indicate a future development in the game’s story.

The theory was well-received by commenters, who were quick to share their thoughts. According to one player, the theory was likely not meant to be a feature at launch and would possibly be added later in the season, judging by how swiftly it was removed.

There is a belief that the Doom Guards may eventually turn against Doctor Doom and become allies for players. One player commented, “This week’s task is to remove their brain chips by headshotting them, so I’m sure next week’s mission will involve them.”

The reactions persisted, with one player suggesting, “There’s no chance that ‘give a second chance’ was unintentional.”

The prompt for reviving a regular teammate in Fortnite is simply “Revive.”However, Epic Games has added a unique touch by changing the button prompt to “Give a second chance”for Doom Guards. This alteration has sparked speculation that Epic may have intended it for a future plot twist.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 continues to deliver unexpected plot twists. This is not the first instance where a storyline has left viewers puzzled – upon closer examination of the end of Chapter 5 Season 3, Doctor Doom appears to have more heroic qualities rather than being solely portrayed as a villain.
