Fortnite’s selection of cosmetics has something for everyone, including terrifying skins fit to star in nightmares.
Midas first appeared in Fortnite in Chapter 2 Season 2. Players who purchased the Battle Pass could unlock the Midas skin by reaching Level 100 in Fortnite.

Icebound Midas
Part of the Black Ice Set
- Release date: December 23, 2021
- Price: 2,500 V-Bucks (Black Ice Legends pack)
The Frozen Legends pack was a success when it was released back in 2018, and it led to the creation of several more ice-themed cosmetics in Fortnite. Many fan-favorite skins, such as Peely and Midas, got a frozen variant. Peely’s frozen variant, Polar Peely, looks awesome, and Icebound Midas is not half-bad either.
The icy-white eyes are quite menacing and the frozen details on his outfit look stunning. However, compared to all of the Midas cosmetics available in Fortnite, this one isn’t as memorable as the others, and gamers have to spend a considerable amount of V-Bucks to get it.

Golden Gear Midas
Part of the Anime Legends Set
- Release date: October 14, 2022
- Price: $19.99 (Anime Legends pack)
Golden Gear Midas is part of the Anime Legends pack, alongside Ricochet Rox, and Ready Penny. This Midas variant isn’t reactive and won’t gradually turn gold with more eliminations. However, it has an additional style with its helmet on.

Fortnite: All Dragon Ball Skins
Fortnite often collaborates with other franchises to introduce new content for players, which has led to plenty of great Dragon Ball skins.
If we compare it to the price of a V-Bucks Card, $19.99 is worth 2,800 V-Bucks. It doesn’t sound like much when it comes to Item Shop cosmetics because it includes three skins, but unless gamers like the other skins included in the Anime Legends packs, Golden Gear Midas isn’t worth its price tag.

Midsummer Midas
Part of the Undercover Summer Set
- Release date: June 24, 2021
- Price: 1,600 V-Bucks
Midsummer Midas is the right skin for the hotter months of the year. Every Fortnite hosts a summer event riddled with quests and freebies, and if gamers want their skin to be in sync with the atmosphere, Midsummer Midas is a great choice.
The 1,600 V-Bucks price tag on Midsummer Midas isn’t that bad, especially considering players can toggle customizations on and off and dress him up according to their preferences. Midsummer Midas can have his jacket and glasses on or off. Additionally, gamers can also enable or disable his reactive gold effect.

Midas Rex
Part of the Last Laugh Set
- Release date: November 18, 2020
- Price: $29.99 (The Last Laugh bundle)
In order to obtain Midas Rex in Fortnite, gamers have to acquire The Last Laugh bundle, which features two skins from the DC Series: The Joker and Poison Ivy. The Last Laugh bundle is perfect for DC fans who want to get cool cosmetics based on their favorite characters, but if that wasn’t enough, they also get an awesome Midas skin on top of that.

Shadow Midas
Part of the ShadeChaser Set
- Release date: October 29, 2021
- Price: 1,500 V-Bucks
Shadow Midas came out during Chapter 2 Season 8, a few seasons following the release of the original Midas skin. This is one of the most underrated Midas skins out there, as gamers won’t see it very often when playing Fortnite.
Players who missed out on Midas when it was available should consider the Shadow Midas skin, as it is equally as elegant, but features a dark and more mysterious reactive effect – the purple shadows that surround it.
2
Ascendant Midas
Part of the Golden King Set
- Release date: March 27, 2024
- Price: 2,000 V-Bucks
Ascendant Midas was released during Chapter 5 Season 2, Fortnite Myths & Mortals, a Greek mythology-inspired season. This variant of Midas fit into the lore of the season and had one of the most interesting stories to tell.

Midas
Part of the Golden Ghost Set
- Release date: February 20, 2020
- Price: 950 V-Bucks (Chapter 2 Season 2 Battle Pass)
The OG Midas skin takes the top spot on this list, as it is hard to beat the king himself. Midas has various select style options but his classic look has become iconic, so that is what most players tend to stick with. Regardless, they can choose between the default style, Golden Agent, or Team GHOST and Team SHADOW styles, depending on what they chose back in Chapter 1.
Unfortunately, gamers who didn’t complete the Chapter 2 Season 2 Battle Pass when it was live have no way to obtain the Midas skin.
