Fortnite's Chapter 5 Season 2 has brought a new and interesting addition to the game with the introduction of Midas Vending Machines and Service Stations. These stations are part of the Rise of Midas event and allow players to turn weapons into Legendary-rarity items and get high-tier loot. Here's a guide on how to find and use Midas Vending Machines and Service Stations in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.
How to Use Midas Service Stations
Midas Service Stations are spots on the map where players can upgrade their weapons to Legendary rarity and access other useful services. Here's what you need to know about these stations:
Location: Midas Service Stations are scattered across the island, with notable spots including Coastal Comms, Lavish Lair, and Fencing Fields, among others.
Services Offered:
Golden Upgrade (500 Gold Bars): Upgrade your weapon to Legendary rarity, giving it a golden wrap and enhanced stats.
Patch Up (100 Gold Bars): Heal yourself, providing a quick health boost.
Activate a Rift (300 Gold Bars): Create a Rift for quick transportation.
Unique Feature: The Golden Upgrade service is exclusive to Midas Service Stations, offering players a significant advantage in acquiring powerful weapons early in the game.
How to Use Midas Vending Machines
Midas Vending Machines are where players can buy high-rarity weapons, such as the Epic Ranger Pistol and Drum Gun, at the start of a match. These machines replace regular Vending Machines at random locations across the map. They're not guaranteed to spawn in the same spot each match, so keep an eye out for the distinctive gold design. Here's what you need to know:
Location: These machines can be found in various locations, including Catcher's Cover, Forest Station, and Pleasant Piazza, among others.
Items Available:
Epic Ranger Pistol (300 Gold Bars): A powerful sidearm for mid-range engagements.
Rare Drum Gun (200 Gold Bars): A versatile weapon suitable for various combat situations.
Random Spawns: Midas Vending Machines appear randomly at normal Vending Machine locations, adding an element of surprise to each match.
Completing the "Et Tu, Brutus?" Midas event quest requires purchasing from a Midas Vending Machine or Service Station three times. These locations can vary from match to match, so it's recommended to check all the locations every match.
