With the arrival of Fortnite Season 4 update, Epic Games introduced the battle royale fans to a host of new content, weapons, outfits. As part of the update, game developers also brought a variety of fish with some attributes that offered plenty of benefits to its users. The Midas Flopper was one of the most sought-after fish in the game, however, no one seemed to find it.

This is because the Midas Flopper hadn’t been enabled in the game until recently with a new update. Players can now grab a fishing rod and head over to a fishing spot to try their luck finding the new Midas Flopper in Fortnite Season 4. Here’s everything you need to know about the Midas Flopper with steps on how you can catch one.

How to get the Midas fish?

To catch a Midas Flopper, you will actually need a pro fishing rod. To obtain a pro fishing rod, you will first need to get a normal fishing rod and upgrade it with the help of an Upgrade Bench. Simply grab a standard fishing rod from anywhere on the island and head over to an Upgrade Bench at the Authority to upgrade it.

Midas fish location

There isn’t a specific location on the map where you can find the Midas Flopper. However, the best spot to fish the Midas Flopper is at the Authority. So head over to the Authority with your pro fishing rod and start fishing in the fishing holes. But as we have mentioned earlier, the Midas Flopper has a 1% spawn rate.
