Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless – Mastering the Gold Rush
In Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, controlling the flow of cash is key. Mob boss Fletcher Kane's safehouses are scattered across the map, and seizing one offers unique rewards. This guide explains Gold Rush and how to activate it.
What is Gold Rush?
Gold Bars remain a crucial element, allowing players to acquire in-game currency and exchange it for various items. This season introduces a twist: acquiring gold activates Gold Rush, a significant boost enhancing movement speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe structural damage. Similar to Boons or Medallions, Gold Rush provides a competitive edge, though its effects are temporary. There are multiple ways to trigger this powerful ability.
How to Activate Gold Rush
Unlike other single-method abilities, Gold Rush offers flexibility. Players can activate it by:
Submerging in Gold-Infused Water: Several locations across the map contain gold-infused water. A quick dip grants the Gold Rush buff.
Mining Gold Veins: Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars, are now scattered throughout the island. Mining these veins also activates Gold Rush. Shiny Shafts, a key location for Fletcher Kane's operations, is a prime spot to find these veins. However, be cautious; Kane's forces are heavily guarded and won't surrender their gold easily.
