In Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, cash is king. Mob boss Fletcher Kane controls the flow, establishing safehouses across the map. Seizing one of these offers a unique reward: Gold Rush. This guide explains what Gold Rush is and how to activate it.
What Is Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2?
Gold Bars remain a crucial element, allowing players to acquire items. This season introduces a twist: pursuing gold activates Gold Rush, a significant boost enhancing speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe structural damage. Think of it as a powerful temporary advantage akin to Boons or Medallions, giving you a competitive edge. While temporary, it's definitely worth seeking out. There are multiple ways to trigger this beneficial effect.
How To Activate Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
Unlike other abilities with single activation methods, Gold Rush offers flexibility. A quick dip in gold-infused water instantly grants the buff. These water sources are scattered across the map, increasing your chances of finding one during a match.
For those who prefer to stay dry, Gold Veins—the source of Gold Bars—now activate Gold Rush upon mining. Shiny Shafts, Fletcher Kane's primary supply location, offers abundant Gold Veins. However, be warned: Kane and his associates are heavily armed and won't surrender their riches easily.
That's Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2, and how to activate it. For more information, check out the rumored collaborations for this Lawless season.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
