The Midas Prime is a Hardmode gun that is dropped by Pirate Deadeyes, and is the indirect upgrade to the Crackshot Colt. When used with its primary fire (left-click), it converts any suitable bullets into Marksman Rounds. When used with its secondary fire (right-click), a Silver Coin or Gold Coin is consumed and fired with an upwards curve. Coins are gravity-affected and cannot damage enemies. They can also be recoverable at a 100% chance, unless multiple coins are hit by the same bullet, in which only the first coin hit is recovered. Only 4 thrown coins can be active at a time.
Silver Coins guarantee critical strikes and additively increase the damage of the Marksman Round by 100% on its first hit, and 25% on further hits. Gold Coins behave similarly but increase damage by 150% on first hits and 50% on further hits.
Its best modifier is Unreal. For coin tossing uses only, Rapid may be preferable.
Notes
- The gun noticeably recoils while used with either fire. However, this does not affect the player's velocity in any way.
- The secondary fire is 3 times as fast as the primary fire but does not auto-use.
- Fired coins have 5 times the grab range when dropped as items.
- If no Gold or Silver Coins are available, Platinum Coins are automatically consumed by breaking down into Gold Coins on use.
- Coins can also be taken from storage items such as Piggy Bank, Safe, Defender's Forge, and Void Vault.
Trivia
- Various aspects of the weapon are a reference to ULTRAKILL.
- The item name is a word play referencing Midas, a king in Greek mythology with a golden touch, and Minos Prime, a boss in ULTRAKILL.
- The function and sound effects are based on the Marksman Revolver.
- While pressing the Left Shift key, the tooltip changes to the following phrase which is identical to the poster text and opening lines of the game:
MANKIND IS DEAD.
BLOOD IS FUEL.
HELL IS FULL.
