How to Catch the Midas Goldfish in Fortnite Season 4
Epic Games has added a new Ultra Rare Midas Fish in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2, and it's probably the most valuable item you can find in the game. Here we will look at where to catch her and what she does.
Like Mythic Goldfish, added at the beginning of Chapter 2, the new Midas fish is nearly impossible to catch in the Battle Royale. She has such a low spawn rate, which means your chances of meeting her are very slim.
That being said, there are a few tips that players should know if they want to hunt down one of them. This fish, when eaten, actually grants you a full inventory of legendary rare weapons, which means you can access some huge upgrades that will take you to the finale.
So, let's figure out where you can find this species and get an advantage over opponents.
Where to find the Midas fish in Fortnite
The rarest fish in the entire game isn't just going to give itself to you. There is a certain skill level to find it.
You will also need a professional fishing rod. To do this, just follow our guide.
- Check out Fortnite Battle Royale.
- Jump out of the battle bus and head towards the Careless Shore.
- Go to the beach and go to the pier.
- Take a rod, cast it and fish from there.
- That's all, now wait. If you catch it, wind it up.
Careless Beach?
Since the start of Season 4, players have been posting their rare catches on various social media platforms. It looks like Careless Shore is a spawning hotspot for this fish, but don't take it as a guaranteed catch. It's not 100%.
If you are fishing from the pier as instructed above, you are more likely to catch fish than usual. Of course, you have to balance this with other environmental hazards while playing.
Other people will also know about this place and the beach is a popular attraction. Watch out for incoming enemies and an approaching storm. If you land here, you'll have plenty of time at the start of each game to squeeze in some fishing.
