Midas’ Masterpiece in Fortnite is perhaps the most overpowered single-shot pistol in Chapter 7 Season 4. It’s terrifying in the hands of a marksman, but it has several limitations that make it situational. However, if you’re interested in knowing how to get Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol in Fortnite, check out this guide.
Where to Find Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol in Fortnite
The mythic rarity Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol can only be obtained by defeating Dr. Eggman in Fortnite. He spawns twice per match, giving you two chances to get the weapon. You can find him in the Green Hill Zone POI, which was added to the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 map as part of the Sonic collab.
There are quite a few Fortnite weekly quests centered around this POI, making it a hotspot. Subsequently, this makes it harder to fight him and claim the Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol in Fortnite, as other players are bound to interfere. If you do manage to find him, be prepared for a fight.
He has two attacks: a horizontal attack that fires five projectiles in an arc, and a slam attack that does AoE damage in an expanding circle. Both attacks are easy enough to dodge if you keep your distance. Remember, it’s worth it once you get the Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol in Fortnite.
Once defeated, he drops Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol alongside a Chug Jug (which can be used to level your Klombo Sprite in Fortnite) and the 1-Up Fortnite Token. The rewards are well worth the risks, and with the help of this weapon, you can have a much better chance of securing a Victory Royale.
Midas’ Masterpiece Weapon Stats in Fortnite
Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol is one of the most powerful weapons in the Fortnite loot pool. The only downside to it is that it has limited ammo, cannot be reloaded, and is a single-shot weapon. It has to be reloaded after every shot, which can be frustrating. That said, here are the stats of this mythic weapon:
Name of Stats Value Damage 125 (Base) and 1,250 (Bosses) Structure Damage 100 Headshot Damage 313 (Base) and 3,125 (Bosses) Magazine Size 1 Ammo Reserve 7 Fire Rate 1 Reload Time N/A
As you can see from the stats, Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol in Fortnite does outrageous damage. You can one-shot players if you aim for the head and also deal massive damage to bosses. The downside is that once all seven shots have been fired, the weapon disappears from your inventory. Nevertheless, it is still the most powerful mythic weapon in Fortnite at the moment.
Despite being a pistol, Midas’ Masterpiece uses Heavy Ammo. This is very similar to other weapons such as the Mammoth Pistol and Hand Cannon. The only fundamental difference is that this pistol deals damage that’s equivalent to that of a sniper rifle. In short, if you don’t have an item such as God Mode Llama in Fortnite, consider yourself eliminated.
That said, Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol is arguably the most powerful single-shot pistol we have ever had in Fortnite. Perhaps this is why Epic Games limited it to seven shots. Being able to use this for the entire duration of the match would be frustrating for other players.
How to Use Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol in Fortnite
To use Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol in Fortnite, equip it and press the ADS button to aim more precisely. When you’ve locked on to your target, click the “Fire” button to shoot. After firing a shot, it needs to be reloaded. If you have Fortnite Sonic Power Sneakers in your inventory, use them to rotate after shooting.
We recommend using the weapon as you would a sniper rifle in Fortnite. Using it from up close is not a good idea. Given the reload time and single-shot capability, it can leave you at a tactical disadvantage. Keep the Fortnite Mega Buster on you as a support weapon in case you need to switch.
Lastly, remember that the weapon comes with a limited number of shots and has no spare ammunition. Once all seven shots have been fired, Midas’ Masterpiece Pistol in Fortnite disappears. As such, you cannot rely on it as your primary weapon throughout the match.
That said, if you spot a player running about with a Klombo Sprite in Fortnite, it’s probably the best time to whip out this overpowered weapon. Land one headshot, and claim the Sprite for yourself.
