Description
Olympus Arms – Midas introduces a powerful Legendary iconic pistol to Cyberpunk 2077, inspired by the ancient Greek myth of King Midas and his golden touch.

Weapon Appearance
Midas combines the recognizable Malorian Arms 3516 frame with luxurious golden components. Its design includes a hand-engraved gilded slide, gold ported compensator, golden trigger and controls, decorative inlays and a smooth black steel grip. The pistol uses the Malorian Arms 3516's original firing sounds, reload animations and handling animations. Its distinctive molten-gold tracers reinforce the weapon's mythical theme.

Iconic Effects
Midas provides a permanent +10% Critical Chance bonus alongside several special abilities.

The Golden Touch
Every successful hit applies one stack of Gilding to the target.
- Maximum of 4 Gilding stacks
- Each stack lasts 10 seconds
- Each stack increases Midas damage against the target by 10%
- The fourth stack transforms the enemy into Gold for 6 seconds

When the transformation occurs, the enemy immediately loses 15% of its Health, or 5% if the target is a boss. Regular enemies become completely immobilized, while golden targets are highlighted and receive 75% additional damage from Midas.

The Curse Spreads
Transforming an enemy into Gold spreads the curse to nearby opponents. Every enemy within an 8-meter radius receives two Gilding stacks. When several enemies stand close together, the effect can trigger chain reactions, allowing multiple targets to become golden statues.

King's Ransom
Midas rewards kills with additional eddies based on the target's condition.
- 75 eddies per Gilding stack
- 750 eddies for killing a golden statue
- 3,000 eddies for defeating a golden boss

Golden statues also shatter when killed. The resulting explosion affects enemies within 6 meters, removing 20% of their Health, or 5% for bosses. Affected enemies also receive Bleeding and Gilding.

The Whispering Reeds
When a golden enemy dies, the weapon reveals nearby opponents. All enemies within 40 meters become visible through walls for 15 seconds. During this period, revealed targets also receive 20% additional damage from Midas.

Washed in the Pactolus
The final shot that empties the magazine activates a special cleansing and healing effect. When triggered:
- Removes Burning, Poison, Shock, and Bleeding
- Restores 25% Health

The ability also activates Golden Sands for 6 seconds. While Golden Sands is active, every successful hit applies two Gilding stacks instead of one. This effect has a 12-second cooldown.

Important: Damage caused directly by golden transformations and statue shattering cannot kill enemies on its own. The final blow must come from Midas.
