The Fortnite community is tasked with robbing Baron Fletcher Kane in order to obtain Outlaw Keycards that will let them unlock unique Exotic weapons.

Along with Outlaw Midas’ rebrand, Midas’ Drum Gun is known as Midas’ Gilded Eye Drum Gun, so what’s different about this golden gun and how can players get it for themselves so that they can rain golden hellfire on their enemies to claim a Victory Royale in Fortnite?

How to Get Midas’ Gilded Eye Drum Gun in Fortnite

Midas’ Gilded Eye Drum Gun can be found exclusively at the Rogue Repairs Black Market, found West of Rolling Blossom Farm. Players will need to have at least the Common Outlaw Keycard to enter into this Black Market’s back rooms, where down below they can find Outlaw Midas alongside a weapon case containing his Drum Gun. The Midas’ Gilded Eye Drum Gun can be acquired for 1 Dill Bit, and this is easily obtained either through a Vault Heist (with the closest location being at Masked Meadows) or by using an Uncommon (or higher) Outlaw Keycard to open the Outlaw Chest in the same room.

Midas’ Gilded Eye Drum Gun Stats (& is it Worth It?)

• Midas’ personal golden Drum Gun, now with a thermal scope!

Despite its staying power and iconic status, Midas’ Gilded Eye Drum Gun fails to impress in Chapter 6 Season 2. Sure, it’s an easy SMG to acquire, and its hefty use of 40 bullets per magazine can be nice for those who are likely to miss their shots, but it’s still a shell of its former golden self all those years ago. Midas’ Drum Gun used to have an absurd fire rate with hardly any kick from the recoil, making it a must-have for winning fights. However, this time around the fire rate is a little low, and the thermal scope that highlights enemies with a golden glow, doesn’t do much to compete against the Veiled Precision SMG.
