The almighty Mythic Goldfish is back in Fortnite. A storied item only a handful of players ever got to use is finally accessible to the average Fortnite player.
Let's go over exactly how to get the Mythic Goldfish in the online video game from Epic Games.
Where to find the Mythic Goldfish
You can find the Mythic Goldfish exclusively in the Ship It! Express Limited-Time Mode (LTM). While still rare, encountering the Mythic Goldfish in this LTM is nowhere near as uncommon as it used to be when it initially debuted in Chapter 2. Your best bet is to search Supply Drops and Rare Chests.
Ship It! Express is a reimagining of classic Fortnite LTMs like Catch! and Throwdown. In Ship It! Express, regular weapons don't exist. Instead, all you can use are throwables and consumables.
Well, the ultimate throwable is the Mythic Goldfish. Look for this item in Supply Drops and Rare Chests, or loot it off a fallen foe.
What is the Mythic Goldfish?
The Mythic Goldfish is the rarest item in Fortnite history. Resembling a Flopper on a pedestal, this Mythic deals 200 damage upon contact with an opponent, and it inflicts even more damage to structures. The Mythic Goldfish is indestructible, too, so you can pick it up and use it again after you toss it.
When the Mythic Goldfish was originally released in Chapter 2: Season 1, the only way to get it was via fishing. Most players never found or encountered a Mythic Goldfish, though, because the drop rate was a minuscule one in one million, or 0.0001%. You could have spent the entirety of Chapter 2 fishing and never got a Mythic Goldfish!
The Mythic Goldfish was vaulted in Chapter 3, never to be seen again - until now. The brand-new Ship It! Express LTM offers Fortnite players another chance to get their hands on the fabled Mythic Goldfish.
The Ship It! Express LTM is part of Winterfest 2023. Check out our Fortnite homepage for guides on how to complete the most challenging Winterfest Quests and all the Winterfest 2023 gifts you can open up!
