Fortnite players can farm gold easily by using these two brilliant methods. Here’s all you need to know.
In Fortnite’s Chapter 2, Season 5, Fortnite introduced players to gold, an in-game currency that can be used to hire NPCs, purchase items from vending machines, and reroll augments. Every player has access to gold; however, it cannot be bought. It must be earned by playing the game.
This guide will help players farm as much gold as they need in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 1.
How to Farm Gold By Using The Shield Breaker EMP
Fortnite added Shield Breaker EMPs back in Chapter 4, Season 4. The Shield Breaker EMP is not that useful when it comes to a fight, but it sure can be helpful in disabling or breaking down electronic devices, which makes it perfect for farming gold.
Players can find Shield Breaker EMPs inside a chest or as floor loot. Shield Breaker EMPs are found in a stack of three, but players can hold up to six of them per inventory slot. Thankfully, it’s a very common item, so players won’t have trouble finding it.
Shield Breaker EMPs can break the vending machines since they are electronic devices, which allows players to acquire tons of gold from them.
Here’s how players can farm gold by using the Shield Breaker EMPs:
- Firstly, you need to find the Shield Breaker EMPs.
- Now throw the Sheild Breaker EMP at the Vending Machine.
- Once you have thrown the Sheild Breaker EMP at the Vending Machine, it will drop you some Gold varying from (50 to 150).
This method might be a permanent feature because it has been part of the game since the release of the Sheild Breaker EMPs.
How to Farm Gold in Vaults
This Season, Fortnite has added multiple locations containing vaults that can be unlocked with the help of a Key card or Medallion. Inside the vaults, you’ll find mod benches, one mythic chest, two normal chests, and a ton of gold. Some named and un-named locations contain vaults that have low risk and can be unlocked with the help of a key card.
This is how you can obtain the Key card:
- Firstly, look for the mini-boss.
- Eliminate the mini-boss to acquire the Key card.
- Now, simply use the Key card to open the vault.
- Once you enter the vault, you’ll find stacks of gold, which you can break to obtain gold.
If you like playing risky, you can also go for the Society Bosses, which players must defeat to get their hand on the Medallion and the Mythic weapon they drop. Once you have acquired the Medallion, go near the vault to unlock it. Similarly, like the other vaults, these vaults will also have stacks of gold, which players can break with the help of their pickaxes.
This method isn’t as effective as the first one, but should consider going for it If they have the opportunity,
