Where to Get Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets in Fortnite

There is only one way to get Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets in this current season. If you want to get these powerful items for yourself, you’ll want to head straight to Castle Doom as soon as you spawn into a match. If you don’t go there immediately, you run the risk of not being able to get them.

There is a boss NPC enemy here known as Doombot. He is sitting on the throne in the large castle room in the northeastern section of the place. You can find him using the medallion symbol on the minimap. Defeat Doombot and you will earn the Doctor Doom Arcane Gauntlets as one of your rewards.

How the Arcane Gauntlets Work

Since you can only get the Arcane Gauntlets from the Doombot boss, this also means there is only a single pair of these available in any match in Fortnite. These Mythic-rarity gauntlets work pretty similarly to the Iron Man gauntlets. They are fast and let you laser enemies from far away with some solid damage.

The only downside to these gauntlets is the overheat feature. If you use them too much and too often, they will overheat and need to cool down. That said, if used in burst motion, it can be an effective way to destroy player shields and health in almost no time.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 is available for free right now for Android, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
