Fortnite Chapter 2 came with a new fishing feature, with which players are able to haul out a Mythic Goldfish that will eliminate players in one hit (via GameSpot).
The new world is a watery one, and offers motorboats, swimming, and fishing features for the new and established battle royale players. Fortnite Chapter 2 also introduced an overhauled Battle Pass which uses an achievement-style system to award experience points and a new loading screen. By fishing at the designated fishing spots (stay safe and responsible, combatants), players will drag out a variety of items that fulfil challenges.
Catching a Flopper fish will replenish 50 health points, hauling out a Rusty Can will deal 20 damage points, and a Slurpfish lets the player regain 50 health points or 50 shield points. The Mythic Goldfish is exactly that: mythical. It looks like a golden fishing trophy, and it’ll insta-kill any player unfortunate to be clocked by it. The drop rate of this powerful item is incredibly, incredibly low, but Reddit user BlakeBenbow had the privilege of dying to the rare item.
Given just how many people play Fortnite and how many days it’s been since Chapter 2 went live, it only proves how mythical the Mythic Goldfish is. Dataminers had found evidence of the throwable in the game’s files, but because no one had used it in a match, it was assumed the item was coming to Fortnite in the future. BlakeBenbow would beg to differ.
Fortnite is out now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, Xbox One, iOS, and Android.
