Fortnite's Getaway: Master the Limited Time Mode

Fortnite

Dive back into the thrilling heist action with *Fortnite*'s Limited Time Mode, The Getaway, which originally debuted in Chapter 1 Season 5 and has returned in Chapter 6 Season 2. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to play The Getaway, including its duration.

Playing The Getaway in Fortnite

Jumping into The Getaway mode in *Fortnite* is a breeze. Whether you're on console, PC, or mobile, simply launch *Fortnite*, head to the Lobby, and navigate to the Discover tab. Here, you'll spot The Getaway—hit the Play button to join the queue. If it's playing hide and seek, use the search bar in the top left corner of the Lobby, type in The Getaway, and it'll appear faster than you can say "heist."

What Is The Getaway?

The Getaway transforms *Fortnite* into a high-stakes heist scenario where your mission is to snatch a jewel from the map and make a daring escape in a Getaway Van. It's a PvP showdown, pitting you against other teams vying for the same prize. Victory goes to the first three teams that successfully escape with their jewel, but you can also claim triumph by taking down rival teams. This iteration of The Getaway spices things up by offering a Zero Build option for those who prefer action over architecture, and you can team up in Duos, Squads, or compete in both Unranked and Ranked matches.

The Getaway Start and End Dates

You can experience the thrill of The Getaway right now in *Fortnite*, but mark your calendars because this mode will vanish on April 1 at 12 a.m. Eastern Time. Don't miss out on this limited window to not only enjoy the mode but also earn XP that boosts your Battle Pass progression.
