Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless – Mastering the Gold Rush

In Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, controlling the cash flow is key. Fletcher Kane, the mob boss, has established numerous safehouses across the map, and seizing one unlocks 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 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, although temporary. Its benefits are substantial, and there are multiple ways to activate this powerful Fortnite feature.

Activating Gold Rush

Unlike other abilities with singular activation methods, Gold Rush offers flexibility. Players can activate it by:

1. Gold-Infused Water: A quick swim in gold-infused water scattered across the map instantly grants the Gold Rush effect. Multiple locations feature this water, increasing the chances of encountering it during a match.

2. Gold Veins: Mining Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars, also activates Gold Rush. Shiny Shafts, Fletcher Kane's primary gold supply location, is an excellent place to find these veins. However, be cautious, as Kane's heavily guarded operation makes this a risky endeavor.

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