The Rise of Midas is here, and fans have waited a long time to see Midas return to the Fortnite island, not just for his cool cosmetics and lore, but for the treasure he brings. Midas presents one of the best guns in Fortnite with Midas' Drum Gun, a Mythic Drum Gun with immense potential, which has plagued and terrorized the community for years for just how good it is. Now, in Chapter 5 Season 2, players can finally possess it once more.

Only one person in the lobby can hold Midas' Drum Gun, and thanks to the updates to the weapon system in Chapter 5 with mods and attachments, the gun is better than ever. It's time to break the bank to get some gold and get this ghastly weapon from an equally ghastly character in Myths & Monsters.
Where To Get Midas' Mythic Drum Gun
In order to get Midas' Mythic Drum Gun, players are going to need to head west of the Fortnite island to the Marigold Yacht, an unnamed POI. This yacht is to the left of The Underworld, and on the top deck, players will find Ascendant Midas, whom players can talk to in order to purchase 1 Mythic Drum Gun for 600 Gold. It might be costly, but it's definitely worth it if players can swim back to shore and unleash it on the countless Loopers on the island, but be warned, other players will probably head to this location in search of the gun, especially when only one Mythic Drum Gun is in stock, so it's best to get there straight from the Battle Bus.
Midas' Drum Gun Stats
Midas' iconic golden weapon, revered for its overwhelming stopping power and classic stylings.
The Midas Drum Gun is definitely worth getting due to its high fire rate, accessible recoil, and great damage output. Each headshot is 38 damage, which feels great thanks to the underbarrel and barrel attachments that help with the recoil and spread of the weapon. Anywhere else, is 25 damage, which is still amazing when one considers the high rate of fire and ammo count that just doesn't stop.
