Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless – Mastering the Gold Rush
This season in Fortnite revolves around the control of cash, with mob boss Fletcher Kane's safehouses scattered across the map. Securing one of these safehouses offers unique rewards, including the powerful Gold Rush buff. This guide explains what Gold Rush is and how to activate it.
What is Gold Rush?
Gold Bars remain a crucial currency in Fortnite, allowing players to purchase items. This season introduces Gold Rush, a temporary power-up that significantly enhances player abilities. Activating Gold Rush increases movement speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe damage against structures. It provides a substantial competitive advantage, though its effects are time-limited.
How to Activate Gold Rush
Unlike other abilities, Gold Rush offers multiple activation methods:
- Gold-Infused Water: Immerse yourself in the gold-infused water found at various locations across the map. This quick dip grants you the Gold Rush buff.
- Gold Veins: Mine Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars, to activate Gold Rush. Shiny Shafts, a key location for Fletcher Kane's operations, is a prime spot to find these veins. However, be wary of Kane's heavily armed associates.
Mastering Gold Rush can significantly improve your chances of victory in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
