How to mine Gold Veins in Fortnite

It’s very satisfying to pick up a bunch of gold bars in Fortnite and go on a spending spree. If you break gold rock veins, you’ll even get a handy speed boost to help you charge toward other players and secure some easy eliminations.

However, you won’t find these gold veins just anywhere. Although they spawn often on the map, you’ll have to visit specific spots to take full advantage of them. Here’s how to find gold veins for your weekly and event quests.

Where to find Gold Veins in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2

The best way to find gold veins in Fortnite is to travel around the gold-infused rivers near Crime City and Shiny Shafts. This region on the map’s west side has golden mountains, rocks, and water flowing throughout it, with gold vein rocks dotted along the river’s edges.

Gold veins appear as dark grey and gold rocks t෴hat shimmer as you approach them. Unlike regular boulders, these rocks have much more obvious gold chunks sticking out of them, with small gold sparkles emanating from them. Once you see them, they become pretty easy to spot later🔴.

Each rock has 250 health, so you can quickly break them with your pickaxe or your preferred weapon. Having Gold Rush makes them even easier to break, so you won’t have to worry about spending several minutes standing around and hitting rocks.

You’ll often find clusters around Crime City and Shiny Shafts’ waters, giving you an easy way to complete your weekly quests. The gold veins also drop the Gold Rush buff that boosts your movement speed and around 30 Gold Bars per rock, letting you farm some cash if you plan on visiting a nearby Black Market or vending machine.
