Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Activating the Gold Rush

*Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless is all about who controls the cash. The mob don, Fletcher Kane, has safehouses scattered throughout the map, and taking control of one offers a special reward. Let's delve into what Gold Rush is in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and how to activate it.

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

As in previous seasons of *Fortnite*, Gold Bars play a pivotal role, allowing players to collect currency and trade it for various items across the map. This season introduces a twist: pursuing gold can trigger Gold Rush, a powerful boost that enhances speed, accelerates the Pickaxe swing, and increases the damage it deals to structures. Similar to Boons or Medallions, Gold Rush provides a significant competitive edge, albeit temporarily. It's a feature worth chasing, and there are multiple ways for players to leverage this exciting addition to *Fortnite*.

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

Unlike other game abilities that have a singular activation method, Gold Rush offers flexibility. Players can activate it by taking a dip in gold-infused water, which is scattered across several locations on the map. This quick swim grants faster movement and increased Pickaxe damage. For those who miss the water, there's another way: mining Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island. These veins are plentiful in Shiny Shafts, where the Lawless mob don, Fletcher Kane, secures his gold supply. Be cautious, though; Kane is surrounded by allies and fiercely guards his wealth against ambitious players.

That's the scoop on what Gold Rush is in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and how to activate it. For more excitement, check out all the rumored collaborations planned for the Lawless season.
