How to Farm Gold In Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5
Follow Us
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 introduced a new system of in-game currency using gold bars. Unfortunately, players cannot acquire these gold bars by simply buying them, but instead have to work to earn them. There are plenty of ways to farm gold in Fortnite.
Once players have enough bars, they can spend their wealth by interacting with the NPCs that Fortnite has added this season. They can be used to hire NPCs or upgrade/purchase weapons. But farming gold in Fortnite is easier said than done.
The methods to earn gold include completing side quests, looting from furniture and boxes, picking up from enemy loot and others. However, the most effective way to farm gold is by completing bounties.

What are bounties in Fortnite?
Bounties are not so common in Battle Royales, but anyone who has played a bit of Warzone has a general idea. Essentially, it involves hunting down a particular enemy in a nearby area to collect rewards. In Warzone, the reward is cash that can be spent at buy stations for upgrades.

In Fortnite, bounties are the best ways to farm gold. Once you demand a bounty, the nearest player becomes your target. A yellow ring will appear in the approximate position they are in. Players have five minutes to find and eliminate that player to earn the bounty gold. Failing to do that will give the targeted player a gold bar.
In squads, players have to protect teammates with a bounty on their heads. If successful, they will receive a gold bar as a reward. 70 gold bars is the reward for completing a bounty.
