Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Gold Rush Activation Guide

In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, the battle for control over cash is central to the gameplay. The mob don, Fletcher Kane, has established safehouses scattered across the map, and taking control of one can unlock special rewards. One of the key features introduced this season is Gold Rush, which is pivotal for players looking to gain an edge in the game.

What Is Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2?

Gold Bars remain a crucial element in *Fortnite*, allowing players to collect and use them for various in-game transactions. However, in Chapter 6, Season 2, the pursuit of gold has been elevated with the introduction of Gold Rush. Activating Gold Rush boosts your character's speed, increases the Pickaxe swing rate, and enhances its damage against structures. This temporary boost, akin to Boons or Medallions, can significantly shift the dynamics of your gameplay, providing a competitive advantage. Although it doesn't last indefinitely, the benefits of Gold Rush make it a valuable asset to pursue during matches.

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

Unlike other game abilities that have a singular activation method, Gold Rush offers multiple ways to be triggered. One way is by taking a dip in gold-infused water, which can be found at various locations across the map. Immersing yourself in these golden pools will instantly grant you the Gold Rush effect, enhancing your speed and Pickaxe capabilities.

For those who can't find a gold-infused water source, there's another option. Gold Veins, which are the primary source of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island, can now be mined to activate Gold Rush. The most reliable spot to find these Gold Veins is in Shiny Shafts, the stronghold of Fletcher Kane's operations. However, be cautious as Kane's allies are vigilant and won't easily let you walk away with their gold.

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.
