Midas’drum gun Stats

Hello Epic Games Team,

I’m writing this as a passionate and long-time Creative Mode player who was incredibly excited to finally see the return of Midas’ Drum Gun. However, I was truly disappointed to discover that the weapon shares the same stats as Jules’ Drum Gun (24 damage / 8.5 fire rate), rather than the iconic original version from Chapter 2 Season 2 (25 damage / 10 fire rate, 250 DPS).

I understand the bug report FORT-928049 has been marked as “Closed” and that the fix won’t be implemented—but please understand that, for many of us in the community, this isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nostalgia, accuracy, and honoring the unique identity of an iconic weapon.

It’s worth mentioning that many other weapons currently in the game are far more powerful. For example, the Mythic Combat SMG deals 276 DPS, which clearly surpasses the original stats of Midas’ Drum Gun. So, restoring the OG stats wouldn’t break the balance—it would simply bring back a piece of Fortnite history without overpowering the game.

The Midas Drum Gun is not just a skin; it represents a memorable era of Fortnite for countless players. Seeing it return without its original stats feels like a missed opportunity. If possible, I kindly ask Epic to reconsider, not as a bug fix—but as a community-requested improvement. Even separating its ID from Jules’ version and restoring its OG values would go a long way in respecting its legacy.

Thank you for your time and everything you do for Creative Mode. I hope you’ll give this feedback some thought.

Sincerely,

Jof1x
