Strategy Guide

 * Midas Floppers are obviously very beneficial, upgrading all of your weaponry to and giving you a  Assault Rifle. However, as the catch rate is so low and they require a Pro Fishing Rod, it is often not worth spending the time to find one.
 * Waiting for your squad to give you their low rarity weaponry is the most efficient way to upgrade all their loot and make the best use of the Midas Flopper.

Trivia

 * The Midas Flopper's appearance is similar to that of Midas and its function to covert everything to the highest rarity is similar to Midas' ability to turn items to gold. Despite being a closer color to Gold, It does not create  weapons however due to balance reasons and a lack of appropriate  weaponry.
 * Despite requiring a Pro Fishing Rod, the Fishing Collection Book did not state that the player needed one to catch it. On top of this the Book also listed it as being found Anywhere, despite it being only found at The Ruins / The Authority.
 * These were likely done to make it harder for players to discover the fish.
