Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

Unlike most Drum Gun variants, Midas' Gilded Eye Drum Gun doesn't have as harsh a recoil pattern until about 30 rounds of sustained fire. This, combined with the First Shot Accuracy and Thermal scope, allow this weapon to be very powerful at range.
Midas' Gilded Eye Drum Gun is unique in that it has very little spread when Canted, unlike its regular counterpart. Because of this, Midas' Gilded Eye Drum Gun is a great contender for a two-weapon loadout.

Counters[]

Midas' Gilded Eye Drum Gun, while it has a fast fire rate, solid damage, and large magazine, can be a bit harder to hit shots with. Using a Holo Twister Assault Rifle, or the Lawless Accelerant Holo Twister AR, can be very beneficial as both have decent damage, and more sustainably controllable recoil.

Midas' Gilded Eye Drum Gun is referred to as Sun Rose Drum Gun X in the files.
