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 movement speed, pickaxe swing speed, and pickaxe damage against structures.

Gold Rush provides a significant competitive advantage, although temporary. Fortunately, there are multiple ways to activate this powerful buff.

Unlike other abilities, Gold Rush offers flexibility. Players can activate it by swimming in gold-infused water, found at various locations across the map.

Alternatively, mining Gold Veins—the source of Gold Bars—also grants Gold Rush. Shiny Shafts, Fletcher Kane's primary supply source, is an excellent place to find these veins. However, be warned: Kane and his henchmen are heavily armed and won't surrender their riches easily.
