The rare Midas fish is sought after in Fortnite due to its powerful function. However, those who find it may encounter a nasty bug that has the opposite effect. We will show you how this bug affects gameplay.
This is the fish: Midas Flopper has black hair, a scar visible above and below the eye, tattoos, golden fins, and as an additional highlight, he wears a tie. Aside from his distinctive appearance, the Flopper is also rare and hard to find.
What can the fish do? Its properties make the Midas Flopper so valuable. The fish can make your inventory “legendary” when consumed. It elevates all the weapons you carry to the highest rarity. This makes the fish so popular and valuable that everyone wants it.
The Midas fish is one of the things introduced in Season 4 that went unnoticed at first.
“Why is my inventory gone?”
This is what some players are experiencing now: There seems to be a bug that causes all items in the inventory to become invisible. Some players have experienced this after finding and consuming the Midas fish. Instead of having all their weapons become legendary, they suddenly found themselves staring at an “empty” inventory.
Although the weapons are still in the inventory, the affected players have no access to them. If an enemy comes around the corner at that moment, it’s quickly over for the player.
What can be done about it?
These tricks you can apply: Since this bug is quite nasty, players quickly searched for solutions. Player Milky_Moebile_Player tried out what can be done in Battle Lab. He found that items in the inventory appear if you place an item from the drop slot. He shared the clip on reddit:
Other players report under the reddit clip that you should simply pick up another weapon. Then the bug would be fixed. However, this trick does not always work, as some players cannot pick up anything at all.
Since the Midas fish is so rare and the bug does not occur for all players consistently, there is not much information on whether these two tricks work in a regular “Battle Royale” match. If this bug should appear for you, you now know what you can try.
Even rarer than the Midas fish is the mythical goldfish. In fact, it is a fishing trophy with which you can even deal damage. However, finding it can be quite a challenge.
