What Gold Rush Is in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 & How To Activate It

Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless – Mastering the Gold Rush

In Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, controlling the cash flow is key. Fletcher Kane, the mob boss, has established safehouses across the map, and seizing one yields significant rewards. This guide explains Gold Rush and how to activate it.

What is Gold Rush?

Gold Bars remain a crucial element, allowing players to acquire in-game currency and trade it for various items. This season introduces a twist: acquiring gold activates Gold Rush, a temporary power-up that boosts movement speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe damage against structures. Think of it as a significant combat advantage.

How to Activate Gold Rush

Unlike other abilities with singular activation methods, Gold Rush offers two paths:

1. Gold-Infused Water: Immerse yourself in gold-infused water found at various locations across the map. This instantly grants the Gold Rush buff.

2. Gold Veins: Mine Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars, scattered throughout the Battle Royale island. Mining these veins also activates Gold Rush. Shiny Shafts, Fletcher Kane's primary gold source, is an excellent location to find them. However, be cautious, as Kane's forces are heavily guarding his wealth.

Fortnite is available on multiple platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
