The most important resource in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 is gold. This season has been titled Lawless because players are incentivized to rob banks in order to grab as much high-rarity loot and gold bars as they can.
There is no doubt that services and goods are more expensive this season. However, gamers have way more gold and ways to farm gold at their disposal. If players want to avoid the conflict that is certain when opening vault doors in Fortnite, they might want to resort to farming Gold Veins, and this guide will show them how.
How to Find Gold Veins in Fortnite
To find Gold Veins in Fortnite, gamers must head to the midwestern region of the map. Gold Veins are commonly found along the golden river that crosses Outlaw Oasis, Crime City, and Shiny Shafts, named locations added at the start of Chapter 6 Season 2.

Gold Veins can be difficult to identify at first, as there are two types of golden formations in Fortnite. Gamers will find gold stones and gold veins near the midwestern region of the Battle Royale map. While players might gravitate towards the gold stone structures at first, as this is the most commonly farmed stone formation in Fortnite, this will provide nothing but materials in Build Mode. Then, there are Gold Veins, which are much smaller, but significantly shinier and golden.

Gold Veins are worth mining because when broken they grant players the Gold Rush effect and drop gold bars. To mine Gold Veins in Fortnite, players must grab their pickaxe and hit it until it reaches zero health.
