Midas

Midas is a Legendary Skin for Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode, obtained as a reward for reaching level 100 of the Chapter 2: – Season 2 Battle Pass. He is also part of the Golden Ghost set.

– Season level 100 also unlocks the golden version of Midas. With each additional level, the skin becomes more golden until it is completely golden at level 140.

Cosmetic Overview

Featuring him as a classy mastermind with a suit similar to Rook, a blind right eye similar to Oro and numerous tattoos with golden plating to reveal his reactive Golden Touch. All these features are in contrast to ancient Greek myth about King Midas, a greedy king who could turn anything he touched to gold; however the golden touch’s greed got the better of him.

Reactive Feature

Midas’ gold touch mechanism can turn any weapon or vehicle into gold and even if you die, it will still be gold when dropped and other players can pick it up and it will still have a weapon with a built-in gold wrap.

Selectable Styles

His GHOST edit style features him in a white classy suit with golden skin.

Golden Agent

The Golden Agent is unlocked instantly when you unlock Midas. The transformation goes like this:

His right hand’s gold begins running down his arm.
Once it reaches his shoulder it starts spreading down the right side of his torso, down to his hip.
Around level 111 the gold continues to spread down his right leg, while spreading to the left.
At Level 113, Midas’ body begins to be covered up in gold until level 125, where his legs are remaining.
At level 116 his jaw is gold.
By level 117 his entire head except for the area around his good (left) eye should be gold, and his left shoulder has started turning gold.
At level 120 his head should be 100% gold, and his right knee has been caught up in the viral spread of gold.
By 121 his right knee should be completely gold.
At level 126, the transformation of his left arm is complete.
