In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, the battle for control over cash is central to the gameplay. The notorious mob don, Fletcher Kane, has established safehouses across the map, and seizing control of one can unlock special rewards. One of the key features of this season is the Gold Rush, which significantly enhances your gameplay. Let's dive into what Gold Rush is and how you can activate it in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2.
What Is Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2?
Gold Bars have always been a crucial element in *Fortnite*, allowing players to collect currency and exchange it for various in-game items. In Chapter 6, Season 2, the pursuit of gold introduces the Gold Rush feature. Activating Gold Rush boosts your speed, increases the swing speed of your Pickaxe, and enhances the damage it deals to structures. This temporary power-up, akin to Boons or Medallions, provides a significant advantage over opponents. While it doesn't last indefinitely, the benefits make it a worthwhile pursuit, and there are multiple ways to trigger this exciting new feature.
How To Activate Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
Unlike other abilities in *Fortnite* that have a single activation method, Gold Rush offers flexibility. One way to activate it is by taking a dip in gold-infused water, which can be found at various locations across the map. A quick swim in these golden pools will grant you increased speed and enhanced Pickaxe performance.
For those who can't find gold-infused water, there's another option: mining Gold Veins. These veins, the primary source of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island, are now scattered throughout the map. Mining them will trigger the Gold Rush ability. The best spot to find these Gold Veins is in Shiny Shafts, where Fletcher Kane, the Lawless mob don, sources most of his gold. However, be cautious—Kane's allies are vigilant, and they won't let go of their gold easily.
That's the rundown on what Gold Rush is and how to activate it in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. If you're eager for more, keep an eye out for the rumored collaborations coming up in the Lawless season.
*Fortnite* is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.
