In *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, the theme revolves around the control of cash, with the mob don Fletcher Kane establishing safehouses across the map. These safehouses offer special rewards, and one of the key features this season is the Gold Rush mechanic. Here's an in-depth 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 continue to be a central element in *Fortnite*, allowing players to collect and trade them for various in-game items. This season introduces a new twist with the Gold Rush feature. When activated, Gold Rush boosts the player's speed, increases the swing speed of the Pickaxe, and enhances the damage the Pickaxe does against structures. This temporary boost, similar to Boons or Medallions, provides a significant advantage over competitors, making it a valuable asset to pursue during matches.

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

Activating Gold Rush in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 can be achieved through multiple methods, setting it apart from other game abilities that have singular activation routes. Players can activate Gold Rush by diving into gold-infused water found at several locations across the map. This quick dip enhances their speed and the power of their Pickaxe, giving them a competitive edge.

For those who prefer not to swim, another option is to mine Gold Veins, which are now scattered throughout the Battle Royale Island. Mining these veins also activates the Gold Rush ability. The prime location to find these Gold Veins is in Shiny Shafts, a key area where Fletcher Kane, the Lawless mob don, sources much of his supply. Players should approach with caution, as Kane's numerous allies are vigilant and eager to protect their boss's assets.

That covers what Gold Rush is in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 2 and how to activate it. For those eager for more content, keep an eye out for the rumored collaborations planned for the Lawless season.

*Fortnite* is available to play on various platforms, including the Meta Quest 2 and 3.
