In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, the battle for control over cash is central to the gameplay. The notorious mob don, Fletcher Kane, has set up safehouses across the map, and seizing control of one of these can lead to significant rewards. One of the season's highlights is the Gold Rush feature, which we'll explore in detail below.
What Is Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2?
Gold Bars have always been a pivotal element in *Fortnite*, allowing players to collect and spend this currency on various in-game items. In this season, however, chasing gold not only fills your pockets but also activates the Gold Rush effect. This powerful boost enhances your character's speed, increases the swing speed of your Pickaxe, and amplifies the damage it deals to structures. Like Boons or Medallions from previous seasons, Gold Rush is a temporary yet significant advantage that can tip the scales in your favor during intense matches. It's a feature worth pursuing, and there are multiple ways to trigger it.
How To Activate Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
Unlike other game abilities that have a singular activation method, Gold Rush offers flexibility. One way to activate it is by taking a dip in gold-infused water pools scattered around the map. These pools enhance your movement speed and Pickaxe efficiency, making you a formidable force on the battlefield. Keep an eye out for these golden hotspots, as there's a good chance you'll stumble upon one during your match.
If swimming isn't your thing, don't worry—there's another method. Gold Veins, the primary source of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island, have been introduced this season. Mining these veins will grant you the Gold Rush effect. The prime location to find Gold Veins is in Shiny Shafts, a key area where Fletcher Kane, the mob don, amasses his wealth. Be cautious, though; Kane's allies are fiercely protective, and they won't easily let you take what's theirs.
That's everything you need to know about the Gold Rush feature in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and how to activate it. Stay tuned for more exciting updates and rumored collaborations in the Lawless season.
*Fortnite is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.*
