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 flow of cash is key. Mob boss Fletcher Kane's safehouses are scattered across the map, and seizing one unlocks special 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 for various items. This season introduces a twist: Gold Rush. Activating Gold Rush significantly boosts your speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe damage against structures. It's a powerful temporary advantage akin to Boons or Medallions, providing a competitive edge. There are multiple ways to activate this valuable boost.

How to Activate Gold Rush

Unlike other abilities, Gold Rush offers multiple activation methods:

• Golden Plunge: Immerse yourself in gold-infused water found at various locations across the map. A quick dip grants you the Gold Rush buff.

• Mining Gold Veins: Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars, now offer Gold Rush upon mining. Shiny Shafts, a key location for Fletcher Kane's gold supply, is an excellent place to find these veins. However, be warned – Kane's forces are heavily guarding his wealth.

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