The new Fortnite 29.01 update for Season 5 Chapter 2 of the world’s favorite Battle Royale shooter has brought back Midas. He of the golden hand has returned on his yacht where he can be traded with or killed for loot.
If you want to know where he is hiding out you can check out our guide on how to find him, but this page is going to concentrate on all the quests that Fortnite’s new Rise of Midas brings with it.
Now the very title of the event suggests that Midas might be about to get a whole lot stronger as the event goes on, so watch this space. At the moment he is good for a new gun and health fix but that can’t be his only purpose surely?

When was Midas in Fortnite?
Midas originally appeared waaay back in time when he appeared as a boss in Chapter 2 Season 2 more than four years ago on February 20th, 2020. Yep, that was about a month before the pandemic truly kicked in worldwide, so let’s hope this guy is not a bad omen.
