Here is a complete list of every new Boon in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2!

Boons are relatively new to Fortnite, debuting in Chapter 6 Season 1. These became essential to success in the game, allowing players to reveal nearby enemies, move faster, and more. With Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 beginning today, Epic Games has added a new lineup of Boons with different abilities. This article outlines every new Boon in Fortnite Lawless and how each works.

All new Boons in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 and what they do

The Fire, Water, Wind, and Void Boons will officially rotate out of the game once Season 2 is live. In their place are the Vulture, Gold Rush, Adrenaline Rush, Gold Ammo, and Greed Boon. Most are different from the elemental-based Boons from Season 1.

It appears Fortnite will re-theme the Boon each season, and the five included in Chapter 6 Season 2 are perfect. A mix of Gold and Greed is central to the Lawless season.

Here is a complete list of the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Boons and how you can use them:

  • Greed Boon - Find extra Bars from eliminations and opening containers.
  • Vulture Boon - Reveal where enemies are eliminated on the map for a short time.
  • Gold Rush Boon - Opening or destroying Chests grants Gold Rush.
  • Gold Ammo Boon - Gain ammo when picking up Bars.
  • Adrenaline Rush Boon - Gain the Slap effect (short-term unlimited Energy regen) upon mantling, hurdling, and wall jumping.

The only Boon that remains similar to Season 1 is the Vulture Boon, which reveals nearby enemies after eliminating an opponent. This is an exact copy of the Void Boon from Season 1. However, the other four Boons are entirely new in Chapter 6 Season 2.

Considering how much the new season revolves around this new Gold Rush mechanic, we expect the Gold Rush Boon will be critical. The Adrenaline Rush Boon is also interesting. It grants a Slap effect, allowing additional energy after mantling, hurdling, and wall jumping.

How do I get Boons in Chapter 6 Season 2?

Unlike last season, Epic Games has limited the methods of obtaining Boons. In Chapter 6 Season 2, you can only obtain Boons through the new Black Markets and Rare Chests.

Boons are not your traditional Fortnite item. Rather than eating up an item slot, they occupy a separate area in your inventory. As a result, you can carry them without worrying about dropping a weapon or a healing item to make space.

However, knowing you cannot drop a Boons after picking them up is worth it. That means you are stuck with them for the remainder of the match. You will also maintain your Boon if a teammate reboots you.
