Shuri thinks she can reverse the energetic flow of the Rift beacons with Rift Recalibrators.
That would give us the power to send Doom through a controlled Rift, and away from the Island.
Chapter 5: Season 4 Story Quests

Rift Beacons are objects that can be used to bring stuff from other reality to the beacon. The beacon are powered by Power of Creation from the The Zero Point.

They were first introduced in Season X, when The Scientist used them to open several Rifts which by side effect, have accidentally altered many locations into Rift Zones.

History[]

Season X[]

Rift Beacons appeared in random locations every week, knowing that specific location will change. When new challenges came out, that specific location would have changed into a Rift Zone. The final rift beacon would eventually ended up as a base for The Rocket.

The purpose of the beacons was revealed in The End event. The rifts they formed were used by The Seven as a way to get onto the island and begin the event.
