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 offers unique 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 currency and exchange it for various in-game items. This season introduces a twist: acquiring gold activates Gold Rush, a significant boost enhancing movement speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe structural damage.

Similar to Boons or Medallions, Gold Rush provides a competitive edge, though temporary. It's a valuable asset, and thankfully, there are multiple ways to obtain it.

How to Activate Gold Rush

Unlike other limited-access abilities, Gold Rush offers more flexibility. Players can activate it by:

  • Submerging in Gold-Infused Water: Several locations across the map contain gold-infused water. A quick dip grants the Gold Rush buff.

  • Mining Gold Veins: Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars, now grant Gold Rush upon mining. Shiny Shafts, a key location for Fletcher Kane's gold supply, is an ideal spot to find them. However, be cautious; Kane's forces are heavily guarding his wealth.

This covers Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2 and its activation methods. For further information, check out the rumored collaborations for this Lawless season.

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