Fortnite Epic Games loves to throw curve balls at members of their audience whenever they get the chance. They did this during the transition to the Chapter 2 update, as the game was set in a black hole. Now they do it with the new Fishing Mechanic in their game. Fairly lucky players have the chance to catch a Mythic Goldfish, which will make them stand out. Here's how you get the Gold Fish and what it does in the game.
How to get the Mythical Goldfish in Fortnite Chapter 2
Is the item even in the game? Some gamers had thought that the game had not entered the official version of the game and was going to be released in a new patch or hotfix. However, we know it's in the game at this point. You can check it out in action in a Reddit post by BlakeBenbow. They show footage showing they were hit by the Mythic goldfish and placed in the 11th.

How do you use goldfish? To use the Mythic Fish, it is a disposable item. You're probably going to treat this like a grenade, so you'll have to work on your perception of the objective and make sure you hit the target. If you miss, you risk taking out a weapon, which can only be used once, or you have to retrieve it after throwing it and getting someone out. If you watch the video above you can see BlakeBenbow fell immediately after being hit.
How are you going to get this fish? Unfortunately, it's going to be a big deal and a lot of luck on your end. You are going to need to fish like any other fish or weapon in streams. Because it's such a powerful weapon and a rare drop, you're going to be spending a lot of time fishing the game in search of it and it might take a long time to catch one.
For those who are willing to bite their tongue and focus extremely hard on game fishing, you are most likely to see it for yourself. Keep fishing as long as possible during your games and you may find yourself confronted with this mythical object from the future. You get an achievement for killing yourself, so you can hope your enemies are luckier than you.
Good luck in trying to find it, Fortnite players. There are a lot of random chances attached to this item, so keep trying to fish and waste time catching all the catch you can snag on your line.
