Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless – Mastering the Gold Rush

In Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 2: Lawless, controlling the cash flow is key. Mob boss Fletcher Kane's safehouses are scattered across the map, and seizing one offers unique rewards. This guide explains Gold Rush and how to activate it.

What is Gold Rush?

Gold Bars remain a crucial currency, allowing players to purchase items. This season introduces Gold Rush, a powerful temporary buff. Activating Gold Rush significantly boosts movement speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe damage against structures. It's a game-changer, providing a competitive edge.

How to Activate Gold Rush

Unlike other abilities, Gold Rush offers multiple activation methods:

  1. Gold-Infused Water: Take a dip in gold-infused water sources located throughout the map for an instant Gold Rush boost.
