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. 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 exchange it for various items. This season introduces a twist: acquiring gold activates Gold Rush, a significant boost enhancing movement speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe damage against structures. Similar to Boons or Medallions, Gold Rush provides a competitive advantage, although temporary. There are multiple ways to trigger this powerful ability.

Activating Gold Rush

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

• Gold-Infused Water: Immerse yourself in gold-infused water found at various locations across the map for an instant Gold Rush boost.

• Gold Veins: Mine Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars, to activate Gold Rush. Shiny Shafts, a key location for Fletcher Kane's gold supply, is an excellent place to find these veins. However, be cautious; Kane and his associates are heavily guarded.

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