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 unique rewards. This guide explains Gold Rush and how to activate it.

What is Gold Rush?

Gold Bars remain a crucial currency, allowing players to purchase items. This season introduces a twist: acquiring gold activates Gold Rush, a powerful temporary buff. Gold Rush significantly boosts movement speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe damage against structures. Think of it as a substantial advantage over opponents. There are two ways to activate this game-changing ability.

How to Activate Gold Rush

Unlike other single-source abilities, Gold Rush offers multiple activation methods:

• Golden Plunge: Swim in gold-infused water found at various locations across the map. This provides a quick and easy way to activate Gold Rush.

• Mine the Veins: Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars, now grant Gold Rush upon mining. Shiny Shafts, Fletcher Kane's primary gold source, is an excellent location to find these veins. However, be warned – Kane's heavily armed associates guard his wealth.

That's how to activate and utilize Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2. For more information, check out the rumored collaborations for this Lawless season.

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