The island trembles as Midas makes his grand return in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2, wielding his legendary golden touch amid the lawless chaos! This gilded menace has orchestrated an elaborate treasure hunt that's got every player scrambling like possessed prospectors. Rumors swirl that completing his questline unlocks unimaginable power - and the chance to recruit the golden outlaw himself. Forget mere Victory Royales; this season's true prize lies in appeasing the master manipulator of mayhem!
💼 The SHADOW Briefing Board Bonanza
Fortnite mercenaries must first locate the elusive SHADOW Briefing Boards scattered across the war-torn landscape. These clandestine mission hubs don't appear consistently, forcing players into a frantic scavenger hunt across key locations:
-
Foxy Floodgate's eastern bridge flank
-
Seaport City's urban heart
-
Demon's Dojo's leftmost shack
-
Canyon Crossing's southern badlands
Upon discovery, agents grab absurdly straightforward assignments: crack open a Rare Chest, obliterate foes with provided firearms, or snag a Supply Drop. These laughably simple tasks barely qualify as warm-ups before the real golden games begin!
🏴☠️ Black Market Gold Splurge Extravaganza
Next comes every pirate's dream: dumping copious Gold Bars at Fortnite's underground bazaars! Three shadowy emporiums await currency crushers:
| Location | Region | Gold Sink Specialties |
|---|---|---|
| Backwoods Black Market | Magic Mosses (South) | 600-800 Bar weapon caches |
| Boom Hole Black Market | Crime City (North) | Exotic ammo & mods |
| Rogue Repairs Black Market | Rolling Blossom Farm (NE) | Legendary gear bundles |
The mission? Dump 1,000 glimmering coins faster than a slot machine addict. Pro tip: Robbing Vaults or hunting Golden Llamas fuels this golden shower. Cha-ching!
🔑 Outlaw Keycard Grind Marathon
Now the grind hits harder than a malfunctioning rocket ram! Players must complete Battle Royale matches until the community collectively robs enough vaults to unlock Common Outlaw Keycards. Then begins the real slog:
-
Complete 10 Keycard Quests (mostly spending 7,500 Gold Bars total)
-
Collect 10 Boons/Medallions (easily cheesed by repeatedly equipping one)
Victorious grinders earn Rare Outlaw Keycards - golden tickets to backroom riches! Head to any Black Market, unlock the NPC's secret chamber, and crack open the shimmering chest inside. If looted? Just reboot and dive bomb back!
🧭 Scanner Backpack Safari Madness
Journey north to Predator Peak near Canyon Crossing where a pulsating '!' marks a cerulean chest containing the Scanner Backpack. Strap it on and chase three more mini-map '!' signals around the peak:
-
Right flank energy vortex 🌪️
-
Left ridge resonance node ⚡
-
Frontal canyon power surge 💥
This techno-treasure hunt transforms players into beeping, direction-obsessed maniacs scrambling across cliffs!
📖 Mask-Making Manuscript Heist
Descend into Masked Meadows' underground lair via the northern building's tunnel. Within the Mask Maker's Hideout, nestled in the left corner, lies the coveted Mask-Making Book - practically glowing with arcane secrets! This dusty tome holds powers beyond comprehension... or at least a snazzy cosmetic.
👑 Confronting the Gilded God
Finally, storm the Rogue Repairs Black Market northeast of Masked Meadows. Unlock the backroom (using that hard-earned Keycard!), descend into shadowy depths, and behold: Outlaw Midas himself, casually leaning against gold-stacked crates like the opulent overlord he is! Simply exhaust his dialogue options to complete your golden pilgrimage. Bow before the master!
❓ Frenzied Fan FAQ
Q: Can I complete SHADOW Briefings in Team Rumble?
A: Absolutely not! These missions demand Battle Royale's cutthroat intensity. Anything less insults Midas' grandeur!
Q: What's the fastest Gold Bar farming method?
A: Vault heists yield thousands instantly! Failing that, pummel Golden Llamas until they cough up coins.
Q: Do Medallions from bosses count for Keycard quests?
A: Naturally! Oscars's thunderous trinket works wonders. Just equip-unequip-repeat like a deranged jewel thief.
Q: Why won't the Black Market chest respawn?
A: It's a one-time-per-match jackpot! Exit and re-queue faster than a caffeinated cheetah.
Q: Can I keep the Scanner Backpack?
A: Ha! Midas allows no such luxuries. It vanishes post-quest like fairy gold at dawn. Tragic!
