Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Activating the Gold Rush

In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, the theme revolves around controlling the cash, with the mob don, Fletcher Kane, placing safehouses strategically across the map.

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

Gold Bars remain a crucial element in *Fortnite*, allowing players to collect currency and exchange it for various in-game items. The twist in Chapter 6, Season 2, is the introduction of Gold Rush. This temporary boost, akin to a Boon or Medallion, provides a significant advantage in the game by enhancing your speed and Pickaxe capabilities. It's a fleeting advantage but certainly one worth pursuing.

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

Activating Gold Rush in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 can be achieved through multiple methods, making it more accessible than other in-game abilities. One way to activate it is by taking a dip in the gold-infused water scattered across various locations on the map. This exposure to the gold-infused water will grant you the speed and strength boosts associated with Gold Rush.

Alternatively, players can activate Gold Rush by mining Gold Veins, which are now part of the Battle Royale Island. These veins are the source of Gold Bars and can be found predominantly in Shiny Shafts, where Fletcher Kane sources much of his supply. However, be cautious as Kane has many allies guarding these lucrative spots, ready to fend off any players looking to steal his wealth and power.

That's the rundown on what Gold Rush is and how you can activate it in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2. For those interested in more, keep an eye out for rumored collaborations set to enhance the Lawless season further.

*Fortnite* is available on multiple platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3, ensuring players can enjoy the thrill of the game across various devices.
