In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, the battle for control over cash is fierce. The notorious mob don, Fletcher Kane, has established safehouses across the map, each promising a special reward for those who can seize control. This season introduces a new feature called Gold Rush, which significantly enhances gameplay by increasing movement speed, Pickaxe swing speed, and damage against structures. Let's dive into what Gold Rush is and how to activate it in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2.
What Is Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2?
Gold Bars have always been central to *Fortnite*'s economy, allowing players to trade them for various items around the map. In this season, however, collecting gold isn't just about the currency; it's also your ticket to activating Gold Rush. This temporary boost is akin to a Boon or Medallions, offering a competitive edge that, while fleeting, is definitely worth pursuing. There are multiple ways to tap into this feature, making it accessible to all players.
How To Activate Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
Activating Gold Rush isn't limited to just one method, unlike some other game abilities. One way to get the Gold Rush effect is by taking a dip in gold-infused water scattered across the map. These spots are plentiful, increasing your chances of stumbling upon one during a match.
For those who prefer not to swim, there's another option. Gold Veins, which are the primary source of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island, have been introduced. Mining these veins will grant you the Gold Rush ability. The prime location to find these Gold Veins is in Shiny Shafts, where Fletcher Kane's mob gathers their gold. Be cautious, though; Kane's allies are vigilant and won't hesitate to defend their boss's treasure from ambitious players.
That's the rundown on Gold Rush in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and how to activate it. Keep an eye out for more exciting updates and rumored collaborations during the Lawless season.
*Fortnite* is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.
