The first update of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is now out and brings back an iconic character from the game’s rich lore-driven past. Midas has broken free from The Underworld prison and has turned the island filled with lava while donning a new look and rocking his iconic Drum Gun.
The latest 29.01 update brings a new Rise of Midas event where players can play a brand new version of classic Floor is Lava LTM, use the unvaulted Drum Gun, and visit Midas Service Stations to upgrade their weapons.
While there are a lot of additions and changes the update has brought around, it also adds a wealth of new challenges that you can complete to get some free rewards around the event.
