With the release of Chapter 7 Season 2, Epic Games added a ton of new items to the game’s loot pool. However, Epic has also added the Mythic Goldfish in Fortnite Showdown, bringing back this powerful yet elusive throwable item. Here is everything you need to know about getting and using the Mythic Goldfish during a Battle Royale match.
Where to Find Mythic Goldfish in Fortnite
You can only find the Mythic Goldfish in Fortnite by fishing in the many fishing holes found all over the Chapter 7 Season 2 map. Ever since it was first added, the Mythic Goldfish has been more of a trophy item than anything, given its 0.00009% spawn rate in the game. This means that it is incredibly tough to find since it does not spawn in chests, floor loot, Supply Drops, or Vending Machines.
You can catch the Mythic Goldfish in any body of water, even without the Fishing Holes. However, your odds are greatly increased if you fish at a fishing hole or even one of the Golden Fishing Spots added with Fortnite Showdown Rivalries Act 2. It is also important to have the right equipment when hunting for the Mythic Goldfish.
While a standard Fishing Rod works, try to look for a Pro Fishing Rod to have an increased chance at powerful loot. You can get a Pro Fishing Rod from the fishing barrels, or you can purchase it from one of the Squibbly NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2. Furthermore, you can also use a Harpoon Gun or an Enhanced Harpoon Gun Mythic to get the Goldfish in Fortnite to increase your chances even more.
Once you have everything, you simply need to fish for as long as possible, and you may or may not get your hands on a Mythic Goldfish during a Fortnite match. Another neat trick you can use is utilising explosives at the fishing holes. Throwing an item like the Bouncing Boomstick allows you to instantly search a fishing hole or even search multiple at the same time, speeding up your search for the Mythic Goldfish.
How to Use Mythic Goldfish in Fortnite
The Mythic Goldfish is one of the most unique weapons ever added to the Fortnite loot pool. Since it’s a projectile weapon and not a consumable, it functions similarly to a Grenade with infinite ammo, as long as you can go pick it up again.
To use the Mythic Goldfish, you can plan your throw using the aim button (L2/LT on controller or Right Click on PC). Once you are sure of your aim, you can throw the Mythic Goldfish by pressing the fire button (R2/RT on the controller or Left Click on PC). If you manage to hit your enemy, you will deal a staggering 250 damage, which is enough to one-shot any player in both Battle Royale and Fortnite Zero Build.
Furthermore, the Mythic Goldfish also deals 250 structure damage, which can help you break into any wooden boxes that your enemies are camping in. The possibilities are endless with the Mythic Goldfish, and you basically get infinite chances, as you can pick the Goldfish up after throwing it.
