Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Activating the Gold Rush

In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, the focus is on controlling the cash, with mob don Fletcher Kane's safehouses scattered across the map offering special rewards. One of the key features this season is Gold Rush, a powerful boost that can give players a significant advantage. Here's a detailed look at what Gold Rush is and how to activate it in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2.

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

Gold Bars have been a staple in *Fortnite* for several seasons, allowing players to collect currency and trade it for various in-game items. In Chapter 6, Season 2, however, the pursuit of gold introduces the Gold Rush feature. Activating Gold Rush increases your speed, accelerates your Pickaxe swing rate, and boosts the damage your Pickaxe inflicts on structures. This temporary boost, akin to Boons or Medallions, can significantly enhance your gameplay, giving you an edge over your competitors. Although it doesn't last forever, it's a valuable asset worth pursuing, and there are multiple ways to take advantage of this new *Fortnite* feature.

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

Unlike other in-game abilities that are limited to a single method of acquisition, Gold Rush offers more flexibility. One way to activate it is by taking a quick dip in gold-infused water, which can be found at various locations across the map. This will temporarily enhance your speed and the effectiveness of your Pickaxe.

For those who can't find gold-infused water, there's another option: mining Gold Veins. These are the sources of Gold Bars on the Battle Royale Island and are now available in the game. Mining them will grant you the Gold Rush ability. The best spot to find Gold Veins is in Shiny Shafts, where Fletcher Kane, the Lawless mob don, sources most of his gold. Be cautious, though, as Kane has numerous allies and won't easily let go of his resources to power-hungry players.
