Is it Possible to Recruit Defeated Henchmen in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4?

Are you curious about whether it is possible to enlist Doom henchmen in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 and successfully finish a story quest?

Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 4 presents a Marvel-inspired gameplay, an abundant Battle Pass filled with legendary superheroes and villains, and fresh armaments, all of which heighten the excitement of Battle Royale matches.

Furthermore, the map now features three additional Points of Interest (POIs) that each house a trio of bosses protected by Doom Henchmen. Defeating these bosses results in the acquisition of mythic weapons and medallions, granting players exclusive abilities.

Despite players’ curiosity, the question remains whether Henchmen can be recruited to complete story quests. For those wondering, we have the answer.

The latest Fortnite hotfix does not allow you to recruit defeated Doom Henchmen.

Prior to the recent update, players were required to defeat a henchman by attacking them and then revive them as they would an ally. The unexpected removal of this mechanic sparked speculation among players, with some speculating that the Doom Guards could potentially no longer serve Doctor Doom and instead become allies for players.

Despite players no longer being able to recruit defeated Henchmen, they will still be able to progress through Part 2 of the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 Story Quests by hiring NPCs scattered throughout the island.
