In Fortnite 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 unlocks special rewards. This guide explains Gold Rush and how to activate it.
What is Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2?
Gold Bars remain a crucial element in Fortnite, allowing players to purchase items. This season introduces a twist: acquiring gold activates Gold Rush, boosting speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe damage against structures.
Gold Rush provides a significant competitive advantage, similar to Boons or Medallions, though temporary. There are multiple ways to trigger this powerful buff.
How to Activate Gold Rush in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2

Unlike other abilities, Gold Rush offers multiple activation methods. A quick dip in gold-infused water instantly grants the buff. These water sources are located throughout the map, increasing your chances of finding one each game.
Alternatively, mining Gold Veins—the source of Gold Bars—also activates Gold Rush. Shiny Shafts, Fletcher Kane's primary supply location, is an excellent place to find these veins. However, be warned: Kane and his associates will fiercely protect their territory.
