Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Activating the Gold Rush

In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, the battle for control and cash takes center stage with the introduction of Gold Rush. This season, the notorious mob don Fletcher Kane has established safehouses across the map, and gaining control over one can unlock special rewards. Here's a detailed look at what Gold Rush is and how to activate it in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2.

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

Gold Bars have always been a pivotal part of *Fortnite*, allowing players to trade them for various in-game items and services. In the Lawless season, the stakes are raised with the introduction of Gold Rush. This feature enhances gameplay by boosting your speed, increasing the swing speed of your Pickaxe, and amplifying the damage it deals to structures. Much like Boons or Medallions, Gold Rush offers a significant competitive edge, albeit temporarily. It's a game-changer worth pursuing, and there are multiple ways to leverage this new feature in *Fortnite*.

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

Gold Rush stands out because it can be activated through various methods, unlike other game abilities that have singular activation routes. One way to trigger Gold Rush is by taking a dip in gold-infused water pools scattered across the map. These locations provide players with an immediate boost, enhancing movement speed and Pickaxe efficiency.

For those who prefer not to swim, mining Gold Veins offers another avenue to activate Gold Rush. These veins, which are the primary source of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island, are predominantly found in Shiny Shafts, a key area controlled by Fletcher Kane. Be cautious, though; Kane's allies are ever-present, and they're not keen on sharing the wealth with ambitious players.

That covers what Gold Rush is in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and how you can activate it. For more on the Lawless season, keep an eye out for rumored collaborations that might spice up your gameplay even further.

*Fortnite* is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.
