Fortnite Player Discovers Unique NPC Interactions When Using Midas Skin

gamerant.com:

A Fortnite player has discovered that several NPCs have unique dialogue sequences if they interact with them while wearing the ascendant Midas skin. The interaction works quite similarly to the different NPC dialogues players get when using the various society skins in Fortnite.

Fortnite's Chapter 5 Season 2's focus on Greek mythology caught many fans by surprise, but so far it has been an absolute hit. While the release of a plethora of new cosmetics has given fans plenty of new options to show off, items like Wings of Icarus have added a new dynamic to the meta. One of the most popular aspects has been Fortnite's Thunderbolt of Zeus, which can deal a massive amount of damage if used correctly. When it comes to the skins, it seems like there is more to offer than merely being of a cosmetic nature.

In a new post on the Fortnite subreddit, user IHVEYOU_TTV showcases all the new NPC dialogues players can get by equipping Fortnite's new Ascendant Midas skin. When players interact with Fortnite NPCs like Marigold, Jules, Skye, Meowscles, Brutus, and TNTina, they will be able to experience unique dialogues that are tied to their history with Midas.

Fans are already brainstorming to understand the references behind the various Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 NPC dialogues. In particular, the one that has got many scratching their heads is the relationship between Marigold and Midas. A fact that some players are unaware of is that Marigold and Jules are actually Midas' daughters in Greek mythology, which also goes on to explain Jules' remark. However, many are quite skeptical about that, considering that Jules seems to be missing Midas' gold touch. This has been a running debate in the community, with two of the common theories being that she is either an evolved snapshot or simply just doesn't want to show her powers. That being said, the fact that Jules and Marigold never acknowledge each other is something that is quite strange, considering that they are theoretically sisters.
