In Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, cash is king. Mob boss Fletcher Kane controls the flow, with safehouses scattered across the map. Seizing one offers a unique reward: Gold Rush. This guide explains what Gold Rush is and how to activate it.

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

Gold Bars remain a crucial element, allowing players to purchase items. This season introduces a twist: Gold Rush. Activating Gold Rush significantly boosts your speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe damage against structures. It's a powerful advantage, similar to Boons or Medallions, though temporary. There are two ways to unlock this valuable boost.

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

Unlike other abilities, Gold Rush offers multiple activation methods. First, locate and swim in gold-infused water. These locations are scattered across the map, increasing your chances of finding one each game.

Alternatively, if swimming isn't your style, mine Gold Veins. These veins, the source of Gold Bars, now grant Gold Rush upon mining. Shiny Shafts, Fletcher Kane's primary gold supply, is an excellent location to find them. However, be warned: Kane and his crew are heavily armed and won't let you steal their fortune easily.
