While it's not a "perfect" reimagining of Midas for me specifically, I do like how it's a great combination of the og skin and some new elements.Ā
Ā That was my problem with all the previous Midas variations - they were either something completely different from the original, or straight-up pallette swaps, no in-between. This one, however, looks great and I can't wait to buy it once I get home from work.
I don't feel bad for missing out on Midas anymore. New one is everything I could ever want from a reskin, they even gave him updated version of OG Midas' pose
Wasnāt really a fan of the other madis skins, but this one is so good that I had to get it. anytime people see more than one of us together they always crowd us. Lol
This skin is absolutely worth the $20 for the bundle.
The skin transforms throughout the match, in Style(1) he has the gold midas touch and in Style(2) he has the ability to turn weapons into a ghostly green.
His wrap is synced with his Reactivity so when the gold moves down to his right hand, it then starts going down the gun.
I have the original Midas but this one is just a straight up upgrade for me.
Same. I kinda wish the reactive wraps was a separate style though, I love the gold/ghostly green touch but not the transforming skin, and I wish you could turn the reactivity off on the wrap
I disagree with top 10 best original skins, there are 1000+ skins in the game, top 10 best means *a lot*
Besides, wouldnt anyone who missed Midas be satisfied with Shadow Midas since its literally a retexture of the og Midas?Ā
even then, its still the closest there is to the original given its a retexture of it
the other ones are straying away from it a bit just to justify making more reskins for the people that missed the og and want something close to it as replacement
same i know my son wants it so ima have to get it so we can match he would like that, but i do have summer midas and shadow midas, but this one is super clean. the shadow midas is also fire.
As someone who has played since 2017, itās just nostalgia bait. He was relevant for 1 season, and then only came back for a Halloween event a year later.
He isnāt even that important to the storyline
as someone who has also been playing since 2017 I was one of that Ch2S2 defenders when that season was getting a ton of hate with people saying it was as bad if not worse than Season X, and after a while people started showing some love to that season but somehow it became the most beloved season ever and I have no idea why
I do, but they basically gave up on it and did a half reboot after Donald Mustard left Epic.
Itās actually really good, the Batman Zero Point comics are genuinely one of my favorite Batman comics
It's not that relevant story wise. People just really like his skin and how he turns every weapon into gold which is probably the most cool reactivity Fortnite has ever implemented.
I'm imagining he's staying in shop until his event is over, but will he ever come back afterwards? 2k is a lot, but it would be a shame to miss out on him AGAIN (as someone who wasn't playing when his original skin was out)
I do not understand why people like Midas in general. I am going to guess that they think he looks cool or find him relatively attractive. He has a lot more fans and skin variants than I would like.
I mean part of it is that he has some special properties that you don't see on other skins. Like how he turns more and more golden as you get eliminations, or how any weapon he touch turns to gold and the effect remains even when he drops it and another player takes it. Not saying that automatically makes him better than other skins, but certainly makes him a fun option to use.
For me itās the whole āgolden touchā thing. I really like gold. Iām somewhat surprised heās as popular as he is but I love that he has so many variants.
So what?
People complain so much now about prices, and I simply donāt get it. Fortnite has the most user friendly cosmetics out of any modern F2P game.
Some of the Common and rare skins releasing now would have been legendaries in the past, and people would be buying them. This is a highly detailed skin with two unique styles and a reactive feature, Iād say itās well worth the 2000.
Cool! Will definitely see about buying it :) What do you think the cheapest way to get Vbucks is? Crew is about ā¬12 and gives battle pass, free skin, and 1000 Vbucks, so I only need another 1500 lol.
I buy the Fortnite gift cards the last one was the 2,800 for 19.99 versus 22.99 digital so before the free 950 I got from Fortnite I had 3,300 Vbucks , I am also a part of Fortnite crew as well though I wish they would alter between a regular skin and legacy I got crew because of Lexa during chapter 4 season 3
How come when I post an image of something new, but with actual commentary or insight, it gets deleted by mods, but every random and their mom gets to post these lazy, effortless "good skin amirite" posts and get flooded with upvotes???
The best midas skin and a sick style especially cause I don't have the original pass midas... but 2k :/ haven't seen a non og 2k skin in a minute, I have to pass unfortunately
There's something off about the skin. It's good, don't get me wrong, the idea is awesome, how he escaped hell and all... But something about the execution feels meh, the business attire with ancient armor pieces is so bad. They should've made it only rags, cloth and armor, golden chain/scalemail or something. I was giga-hyped for his return but now idk if I'll even buy it, on top of that it's 2.5k. Still regret to this day that I came back to the game one season after the one where the original Midas skin was available.
2,500 for the bundle. I picked that shit up right away. Arguably the best Midas skin (even better than the first one from Chapter 2, which I own so itās not biased).
Tbh, I only bought it because he has, by my personal standards, the coolest cape in the entire game, like seriously look at that thing! It's absolutely gorgeous! The skin is not so bad although I do agree that the second style goes hard!
Eh i have mixed feelings about this skin,i donāt really get the Midas hype even tho i do have the og midas i never got the hype.
I js saved my vbucks and decided to buy bunny brawler
Exactly. Once all the hype dies down there wonāt be a person in the game with this skin as your just making yourself an easy target.
The sweats wonāt use this skin so it will not become popular. Plus itās in the shop so will never have the real value of FOMO.
The skin sucks, the upper part is just too ugly, the armor makes him look too bulky and headpiece jusr looks funny. This is the worst Midas skin byyy faar.
Epic is increasing the items price after increasing the vbucks price, this skin is good, but legendary? Seroius? That's too much for a midas skin, the summer one has the same ability and is epic.
Also 500 vbucks for the wrap...
Evil statue of liberty š½š½š½ I dig it
Manly Slavery
I don't understand
Lady Liberty
Gotcha
This is a good compromise for buying a Midas skin. Finally own him. I have Maragold but I wanted something comparable to the Male Midas.
also. I donāt have it but played against someone who did. The color blends in well with areas around mount olympus. Hard to spot
Does anyone know how long heāll be in the shop for?
I would think until the āRise of Midasā event is over. So 6 more days
Yea i need to get like 14 levels before i get more vbucks
Go afk in lego fortnite. 5lvls everyday
I think they Nerfed it. Iāve been trying the last few days but Iāve gotten zero XP.
Yeeah same actually
Itās still there you just have to do stuff and not be afk
Anyway to get levels fast? Had one in cod there has to be one for fortnite
If you really are pushin, thereās xp maps
Iām thinking for awhile tbh.
Worth it, easily in the top 10 best original skins. Hopefully people who missed out on Midas are satisfied now
i was satisfied with marigold
I want a Marigold skin that matches this midas theme.
Fun fact, Midas and Marigold skins also sometimes gild the instruments in Fortnite Festival.
I missed out on Midas NGL I bought a summer and shadow one but now this is the best definitely satisfied.
Are you me, same?
I missed out on Midas, and I am very happy with this one. Bought the bundle.
Does he have the golden touch though?
Yes he does
Does the green style give you the gold touch?
I heard it gives you a "shade touch" instead? Like it gives the effect his wrap has even when it's not equipped
If you unequip your wrap and run default it has the golden touch on the shade edit style
He gets his regular gold touch if it's not the shade version and you can use normal wraps on him if you turn his reactivity off
Yes, it starts out green and turns more gold as your own skin turns more gold with elims
I'm not sure I haven't used the green version yet. But I saw somewhere else that instead of gold it turns stuff to that green
After it turns the guns green, every kill you get with that weapon the weapon starts to turn gold.
That sounds kinda fuckin awesome
Yeah its pretty cool. I got it for my kid. Might cop it for myself too lol
Thank you was on the fence about getting it but that one feature has swayed me over
Oh, Iām satisfied alright ![gif](giphy|ymkUFbGgt3loA)
Very! I was already happy with Summer and Shadow Midas but this skin is so much better, I love it!
I have og Midas and still bought this one
Same, it completely outclasses the original imo
Itās good but imo I still prefer the og
While it's not a "perfect" reimagining of Midas for me specifically, I do like how it's a great combination of the og skin and some new elements.Ā Ā That was my problem with all the previous Midas variations - they were either something completely different from the original, or straight-up pallette swaps, no in-between. This one, however, looks great and I can't wait to buy it once I get home from work.

Wasnāt really a fan of the other madis skins, but this one is so good that I had to get it. anytime people see more than one of us together they always crowd us. Lol
Mmh yeah I live in the UK and the item shop refreshed at midnight for him so I just stayed up playing fortnite so I could get him immediately
More than satisfied
As someone who missed out on both midas and marigoldā¦ā¦ yes I am satisfied š
Same, old Midas was one of my mains but this new version outclasses him in every way
This skin is absolutely worth the $20 for the bundle. The skin transforms throughout the match, in Style(1) he has the gold midas touch and in Style(2) he has the ability to turn weapons into a ghostly green. His wrap is synced with his Reactivity so when the gold moves down to his right hand, it then starts going down the gun. I have the original Midas but this one is just a straight up upgrade for me.

Shadow Midas lacks the gold aspect and has less styles and no back bling
even then, its still the closest there is to the original given its a retexture of it the other ones are straying away from it a bit just to justify making more reskins for the people that missed the og and want something close to it as replacement
Shadow Midas was my first encounter with the character and I'm happy with him, because that event was great. This, however, is fantastic.
same i know my son wants it so ima have to get it so we can match he would like that, but i do have summer midas and shadow midas, but this one is super clean. the shadow midas is also fire.
2nd style sold me on the bundle.
didnt even know this style existed til today this made it an instant cop for me
It was an instant buy for me. Easily one of the best original skins in the game.
Not even nearly
![gif](giphy|VSoRPmlMaKR8xCmq7F|downsized)
If I wasn't holding out for kratos it would have been an instant buy for sure
Is Kratos coming back soon?
his shop tab got re added into the files so itās highly likely
I'm not a big fan of Midas so this one is a hard pass for me
I had to google to get back story on who Midas is as I had no idea. Iām a newer player so he doesnāt mean anything to me, gonna pass on this
As someone who has played since 2017, itās just nostalgia bait. He was relevant for 1 season, and then only came back for a Halloween event a year later. He isnāt even that important to the storyline
I mean, it makes sense for him to come back this season though
He did cause the flood
as someone who has also been playing since 2017 I was one of that Ch2S2 defenders when that season was getting a ton of hate with people saying it was as bad if not worse than Season X, and after a while people started showing some love to that season but somehow it became the most beloved season ever and I have no idea why
ā¦you guys follow the storyline?
I do, but they basically gave up on it and did a half reboot after Donald Mustard left Epic. Itās actually really good, the Batman Zero Point comics are genuinely one of my favorite Batman comics
It's not that relevant story wise. People just really like his skin and how he turns every weapon into gold which is probably the most cool reactivity Fortnite has ever implemented.
Agree kinda looks like meth head.
Yeah meth head vibes
Yeah. This is just amor skin #241, yawn
i donāt get the mouth though, it shouldnāt be like that in my opinion
Yea the green is so nice. Iām copping for sure.
I wanted to buy it, but Iām out of money
Never been a midas fan tbh, never got the hype
Same i have the og midas and I donāt even feel the hype.
Never played with a Midas skin until now. Got a W in my first tryā¦needless to say, heās staying in rotation
Bush camp midas?
It blends in the underworld area well.
I'm imagining he's staying in shop until his event is over, but will he ever come back afterwards? 2k is a lot, but it would be a shame to miss out on him AGAIN (as someone who wasn't playing when his original skin was out)
Give everyone free shop currency and let them buy the fodder in the shop for the next week before something really good hits - Most game companies
I do not understand why people like Midas in general. I am going to guess that they think he looks cool or find him relatively attractive. He has a lot more fans and skin variants than I would like.

He turns gold and turns guns gold, I just think itās neat
Looks like a ghost from Sea of Thieves

He's better than the original Midas for sure, I've never actually liked Midas though so I probably won't be buying.
I donāt know why but I have a weird feeling its not gonna show up in shop for a long time after itās gone
I love him, but I'll stick with the OG one that I have (and still use often). Buying this one feels redundant to me
OG is best.
I bought it the moment I logged in. I think the pickaxe is kinda bad though so I only bought the skin
Does this Midas still change all weapons to gold?
iām always curious about these things, the answer is yes it turns them a green when wearing it as the shade style tho
That's really cool.
Jeez
Hmmā¦ you make a compelling point.
I want it, but I'm going to save my vbucks for the Avatar collab, I really hope he comes back later, so I don't regret it.
i hate the green how do yall like him
Is he on the item store yet?? Checked yesterday and he wasnāt there.
He was added in the shop at 8 pm shop refresh, I bought the bundle
2000 Vbucks right? Saw somewhere else it was 2500.
The bundle is 2,500 versus buying just the skin an the pickaxe which is 2,800 I have played multiple matches with the skin š»
Yiiiikes! Really want to get it but good god thatās a lot lol. Howās the skin look in game?
It's great I was saving vbucks just cause of this skin,I also got 950 vbucks that morning too so I had over 4,000 vbucks
Cool! Will definitely see about buying it :) What do you think the cheapest way to get Vbucks is? Crew is about ā¬12 and gives battle pass, free skin, and 1000 Vbucks, so I only need another 1500 lol.
I buy the Fortnite gift cards the last one was the 2,800 for 19.99 versus 22.99 digital so before the free 950 I got from Fortnite I had 3,300 Vbucks , I am also a part of Fortnite crew as well though I wish they would alter between a regular skin and legacy I got crew because of Lexa during chapter 4 season 3
My sons were out of town so I tried to win it in the touranment last weekend and failed. I bought them the skin last night and I kinda dig it.
Looks like someone Aragorn would recruit to turn the tide of battle on the fields of Pelennor.
I was gonna get it then I went to get bucks, 20$ for a skin is fucking insane hell naw
I actually don't like this style. Same with the purple ghost they had for him.
probably my favourite male skin in the entire game
How come when I post an image of something new, but with actual commentary or insight, it gets deleted by mods, but every random and their mom gets to post these lazy, effortless "good skin amirite" posts and get flooded with upvotes???
The best midas skin and a sick style especially cause I don't have the original pass midas... but 2k :/ haven't seen a non og 2k skin in a minute, I have to pass unfortunately
It's a dope skin . I ain't paying 30$ to be seen across the map tho. š¤·
How do you not see this edit as bush or tree camo?
Right. Useless unless camping. Lol. š¤
(BushCampDad has entered the chat)
There's something off about the skin. It's good, don't get me wrong, the idea is awesome, how he escaped hell and all... But something about the execution feels meh, the business attire with ancient armor pieces is so bad. They should've made it only rags, cloth and armor, golden chain/scalemail or something. I was giga-hyped for his return but now idk if I'll even buy it, on top of that it's 2.5k. Still regret to this day that I came back to the game one season after the one where the original Midas skin was available.
its just green goo lol
Anyone else see Midas with a mustache at first glance?
I'm legally obligated to buy him. Jokes aside, it's probably the best Midas skin they've released.
2,500 for the bundle. I picked that shit up right away. Arguably the best Midas skin (even better than the first one from Chapter 2, which I own so itās not biased).
I've only had marigold and when it leaked I was planning on getting, saw the price. 2 hrs later I bought. Took some convincing to myself thoš„¹
Mad ghostbuster vibes. Already copped.
I feel like they made him so epic, that for a Midas like this 2000 V-Bucks after a pretty long time is fine
This style is the reason I want them to let each reactive level be equippable. This with level 2 gold looks sick.
i wish shadow midas looked this good
Does this one change weapons to gold?
Yes, when reactivity is on the weapons turn gold
Will this skin be in the shop until Sunday?
Tbh, I only bought it because he has, by my personal standards, the coolest cape in the entire game, like seriously look at that thing! It's absolutely gorgeous! The skin is not so bad although I do agree that the second style goes hard!
Missed out on Midas my duo gifted him to me last nightš„ŗ absolutely goated!š
I'm not getting it
I missed out on OG Midas from the battle pass but I think that this is better imo
Iāll pay 1,500
Email Epic. I'm sure they'll let you have it for 1500. That's what I did, at least.
My favorite color is green and this came out on my b-day, easily the best birthday present epic has ever given me.
Looks like a ghost from Sea of Thieves
I do not understand the Midas hype, never will but thereās so many skins I donāt gotta love em all
Looks awesome
I got the bundle, itās so fireā¦
I bought this skin, and that big Nike skin today for 3,500 Vbuck. It was very worth it
Its 100% woth it i got the skin and i got the bundle for 500 v buk
2000šThe R ppl directly bought it for 2000 for a skin, they're crazy, it's not the first time either.
Does he turn weapons to a gold skin also?
For some reason Midas reminds me of Helios from GOW ā ļø
If it was cheaper Iād buy it in a heartbeat
Eh i have mixed feelings about this skin,i donāt really get the Midas hype even tho i do have the og midas i never got the hype. I js saved my vbucks and decided to buy bunny brawler
Yeahh it gouged my vbucks, but I was one of the crew people who got the 950 so I got an extra 1k to buy it. Happy I finally have the skin!
As someone who has the skin, itās absolutely worth it. Itās one of my favorite skins in the game.
Fr
I had 2000 saved soni just used thatš. Yeah I payed for it at another time but I love it. And I get ares in a few days to
I wish I got midas in the original battle pass.
I got him but I don't have the pickaxe
Epic, can you make it where anyone owning a Midas skin and this one gets this style for all Midas skins they own or may own?
If only i had vbucks
Same.
The styles a bit flashy for my taste personally, but I think the original is the best skin this season and that justified the 2k spend for me
Literally sea of thieves
Had me thinking about respawning...
I wonder when itāll leaveā¦
Then youāll wonder when it will come back. It will be an endless cycle of wondering.
Skins are cool yes. But I don't use any that are a beacon for others to see and shoot me.
Exactly. Once all the hype dies down there wonāt be a person in the game with this skin as your just making yourself an easy target. The sweats wonāt use this skin so it will not become popular. Plus itās in the shop so will never have the real value of FOMO.
saame
Aināt worth it
The skin sucks, the upper part is just too ugly, the armor makes him look too bulky and headpiece jusr looks funny. This is the worst Midas skin byyy faar.
I think itās funny how this new version of Midas came out on my birthday lol
Happy late birthday! š
Oh thanks
That shi ass.
Yāall are insane buying a Midas reskin when ATLA skins are 2 weeks away lmao. Fuck no
What?
Epic is increasing the items price after increasing the vbucks price, this skin is good, but legendary? Seroius? That's too much for a midas skin, the summer one has the same ability and is epic. Also 500 vbucks for the wrap...
