In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, the battle for control over cash is central to the gameplay. The mob boss, Fletcher Kane, has established safehouses scattered across the map, and seizing control of one can lead to significant rewards. This season introduces Gold Rush, a dynamic feature that enhances your gameplay by increasing your speed, Pickaxe swing speed, and the damage your Pickaxe does to structures.
Gold Bars continue to play a crucial role in *Fortnite*, allowing players to collect currency and trade it for various in-game benefits. The twist in Chapter 6, Season 2 is the introduction of Gold Rush. This temporary power-up, akin to Boons or Medallions, offers players a strategic advantage by boosting their movement speed, Pickaxe efficiency, and structural damage output. While it doesn't last indefinitely, activating Gold Rush can be a game-changer in your quest for victory.
Unlike other game abilities that are limited to a single activation method, Gold Rush offers multiple ways to harness its power. Players can activate it by taking a dip in gold-infused water, which is scattered at several locations around the map, enhancing your speed and striking power. If swimming isn't your style, you can still activate Gold Rush by mining Gold Veins, the source of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island. The best spot to find these veins is in Shiny Shafts, where Fletcher Kane's lucrative operations are based. Be cautious, though, as Kane's allies are fiercely protective of their boss's wealth.
That's the lowdown on what Gold Rush is in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and how to activate it. For more excitement, keep an eye out for the rumored collaborations coming to the Lawless season. *Fortnite* is available across multiple platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3, ensuring you can jump into the action no matter your preferred device.
