In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, the focus is on who controls the cash. The mob don, Fletcher Kane, has established safehouses across the map, and seizing control of one grants a special reward. Let's delve into what Gold Rush is in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and how you can activate it.
What Is Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2?
As in previous seasons, Gold Bars are a key component of the action in *Fortnite*, allowing players to collect currency and exchange it for various items around the map. However, Season 2 introduces a new twist: pursuing gold can trigger Gold Rush, a powerful temporary boost that increases your speed, accelerates your Pickaxe swing rate, and amplifies the damage your Pickaxe inflicts on structures.
Similar to Boons or Medallions, Gold Rush provides a significant advantage over other players. Though it's not permanent, it's definitely worth the chase. Players have multiple ways to leverage this exciting new feature in *Fortnite*.
How To Activate Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2
Unlike other abilities in the game, which have a single method of acquisition, Gold Rush offers multiple paths to activation. Players who encounter gold-infused water can take a quick dip to experience faster movement and enhanced striking power. These gold-infused water spots are scattered across the map, increasing your chances of stumbling upon one during a match.
If you can't find gold-infused water, don't worry—there's another way to activate Gold Rush. Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island, are now available in the game. Mining these veins grants the Gold Rush ability. The prime location for finding Gold Veins is in Shiny Shafts, where the Lawless mob don, Fletcher Kane, sources most of his supply. However, be cautious as Kane's allies are vigilant and keen on protecting his wealth from ambitious players.
That sums up what Gold Rush is in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and how to activate it. If you're eager for more, check out the rumored collaborations for the Lawless season.
*Fortnite* is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.
