Back in the day, Midas was a boss at the Agency, and several GHOST Henchmen guarded him. He had even created a Doomsday device to escape the Fortnite loop but had failed miserably. Furthermore, the trailer for Chapter 2 Season 3 showcased Midas being attacked by a Loot Shark.

Regardless, the character has still returned to Fortnite in many unusual forms. These include Shadow Midas, a Midas flopper, and Midas Rex.

Interestingly, the pack also contains some Golden Touch challenges through which players can unlock 1500 V-bucks. Starting from 6, they have to complete a total of 32 Uncommon or rarer quests to avail all the rewards.

Chapter 2 Season 5 of Fortnite is nearing its end, and Season 6 is right around the corner. Luckily, the aforementioned Golden Touch challenges will be available even in Season 6, and players can take their time to complete them.

Epic Games leaves no opportunity to give credit to prominent creators for their efforts towards Fortnite. Following a similar approach, the developer has actively promoted the creator of Marigold skin, Kitsunekitsu, on Fortnite’s social media handles. In addition to that, every purchase related to the outfit will support her.

Kitsunekitsu seems amazed by the massive support of fans around the world, and thanked Epic Games for the opportunity in a recent tweet:

Considering the ever-growing popularity of Midas and Marigold’s reactive cosmetics, it wouldn’t be a surprise if she ends up being one of the most popular skins in the history of Fortnite.
