Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Activating the Gold Rush

*Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless focuses on the battle for control over cash, with the mob leader, Fletcher Kane, setting up safehouses across the map. These safehouses offer special rewards, and central to this season's gameplay is the Gold Rush feature. 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?

In *Fortnite*, Gold Bars have always been a significant element, allowing players to collect and spend them on various items. This season, however, pursuing gold can trigger Gold Rush, a powerful in-game boost. Gold Rush enhances your speed, increases the swing speed of your Pickaxe, and boosts the damage it does to structures. Similar to Boons or Medallions, this temporary advantage can give you a competitive edge, making it a valuable asset to chase after during your matches.

How To Activate Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2

Activating Gold Rush isn't limited to a single method, offering players multiple ways to gain this advantage. If you come across gold-infused water on the map, a quick swim can grant you the Gold Rush effect, boosting your speed and Pickaxe performance. These gold-infused water spots are scattered across the map, increasing your chances of encountering one during a match.

Alternatively, if swimming isn't an option, you can still activate Gold Rush by mining Gold Veins. These veins, which are the source of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island, are abundant in Shiny Shafts, a key location where Fletcher Kane, the mob don, sources most of his gold. However, be cautious, as Kane's allies are ever-present and eager to protect their boss's wealth from ambitious players.

That covers the essence of Gold Rush in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and the methods to activate it. For those eager for more, keep an eye out for the rumored collaborations planned for the Lawless season.

*Fortnite* is accessible on a variety of platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3, ensuring you can jump into the action no matter your preferred gaming setup.
