Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Activating the Gold Rush

*Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless introduces a thrilling new dynamic with the focus on controlling cash. The notorious mob don, Fletcher Kane, has set up safehouses across the map, and capturing one can yield special rewards. One of the standout features this season is Gold Rush, and here’s everything you need to know about it and how to activate it.

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

Gold Bars have always been a crucial part of *Fortnite*, allowing players to collect and spend this currency on various items throughout the map. This season, however, there's a new twist: pursuing gold can trigger Gold Rush, a powerful boost that increases your speed, the rate at which your Pickaxe swings, and the damage your Pickaxe inflicts on structures. Much like Boons or Medallions, Gold Rush gives players a significant advantage, though it's temporary. It's definitely worth chasing, and there are multiple ways to activate this exciting new feature in *Fortnite*.

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

Unlike other game abilities that can only be obtained in one way, activating Gold Rush is more flexible. If you come across gold-infused water during your match, a quick dip will grant you increased speed and enhanced Pickaxe performance. These golden pools are scattered across the map, increasing your chances of encountering one in every game.

For those unable to take a swim, 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 best spots to find these veins are in Shiny Shafts, where Fletcher Kane, the Lawless mob don, secures most of his supply. Be cautious, though—Kane's allies are protective and won't let go of their cash easily.

That covers what Gold Rush is in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and how to activate it. Stay tuned for more, including all the rumored collaborations planned for the Lawless season.

*Fortnite* is available on multiple platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3, ensuring you can join the action wherever you play.
