Midas Flopper

The Midas Flopper is a Fish found in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Chapter 2: Season 4 and vaulted in Chapter 2: Season 5.
==Functionality==
Midas Floppers are consumed to heal 40 Health. They can be consumed at any Health Level. Midas Floppers also convert every possible weapon in the player inventory to rarity, and the fish itself turns into a Assault Rifle. It can only convert weapons to if the weapon has a version, or at least one that is not vaulted.
Midas Floppers can be thrown by holding the Aim button and using the projectile arc to guide them. Once landed, it will ping its location to squad-mates.

=== Fishing ===
Midas Floppers were caught only at The Ruins / The Authority. They required a Pro Fishing Rod and had 1% catch rate.
In the collection book, the maximum size a Midas Flopper could be was 60cm, and the minimum was 30cm.
==Strategy Guide==
*Midas Floppers are obviously very beneficial, upgrading all of your weaponry to and giving you a Assault Rifle. However, as the catch rate is so low and they require a Pro Fishing Rod, it is often not worth spending the time to find one.
*Waiting for your squad to give you their low rarity weaponry is the most efficient way to upgrade all their loot and make the best use of the Midas Flopper.
==History==
===Chapter 2: Season 4===
* Update v14.10: Midas Floppers were introduced in rarity. They heal 40 Health and convert the player's every possible weapon to rarity.
===Chapter 2: Season 5===

===Chapter 2: Season 6===
* Update v16.40: Added the Midas Flopper to Creative mode.
=== Chapter 5: Season 1 ===
* Update v28.10: Fixed an issue where the Midas Flopper was unable to upgrade most weapons.
** It now properly upgardes most guns to rarity or the the highest rarity that the gun has.
*** Exceptions are: Infantry Rifle, Heavy Assault Rifle, Tactical Shotgun and Pump Shotgun where the rarities below are only upgraded to .
==Trivia==
*The Midas Flopper's appearance is similar to that of Midas and its function to convert everything to the highest rarity is similar to Midas' ability to turn items to gold. Despite being a closer color to Gold, It does not create weapons however due to balance reasons and a lack of appropriate weaponry.
*Despite requiring a Pro Fishing Rod, the Fishing Collection Book did not state that the player needed one to catch it. On top of this the Book also listed it as being found Anywhere, despite it being only found at The Ruins / The Authority.
**These were likely done to make it harder for players to discover the fish.
