The Getaway is an exciting Limited Time Mode that was first introduced in *Fortnite* during Chapter 1 Season 5, and it has made a thrilling return in Chapter 6 Season 2. Here's everything you need to know about playing The Getaway in *Fortnite*, including how long it will be available.
Playing The Getaway in Fortnite
Starting The Getaway in *Fortnite* is straightforward. Simply launch *Fortnite* on your preferred platform, navigate to the Lobby, and then select Discover. Look for The Getaway in the list of available modes, and hit the Play button to start queuing for it. If you can't find it, utilize the search bar located in the top left corner of the Lobby. Type in "The Getaway," and it should appear right away.
What Is The Getaway?
The Getaway is a heist-inspired game mode where the objective is to secure a jewel from the map and make a successful escape using a Getaway Van. This mode is PvP, pitting you against other teams who are also vying for the jewels. Victory is achieved by the first three teams that manage to grab a jewel and escape, but you can also win by eliminating rival teams. What makes this iteration of The Getaway particularly interesting is its availability in Zero Build mode, perfect for those who prefer not to engage with *Fortnite*'s traditional building mechanics. You can play in various formats including Duos, Squads, Unranked, and Ranked, adding to the versatility of the mode.
The Getaway Start and End Dates
The Getaway is currently accessible in *Fortnite*, but it will conclude on April 1 at 12 a.m. Eastern Time. I highly recommend diving into this mode during its availability, as you can earn XP that contributes to your battle pass progression.
