How to Play The Getaway in Fortnite (Limited Time Mode)

The Getaway, a thrilling limited-time mode (LTM) from *Fortnite*'s Chapter 1 Season 5, makes a triumphant return in Chapter 6 Season 2! This guide details how to play and its limited availability.

Playing The Getaway in Fortnite

Jumping into The Getaway is easy. Launch Fortnite, head to the Lobby, and select "Discover." Locate The Getaway and hit "Play" to join the queue. Alternatively, use the search bar in the top-left corner of the Lobby and type "The Getaway."

What Is The Getaway?

The Getaway is a high-stakes heist LTM. Teams race to locate a jewel, secure it, and escape with a Getaway Van. It's a PvP showdown where only the quickest and most cunning prevail. The first three teams to successfully escape with a jewel win, but eliminating opposing teams also contributes to victory. This time around, enjoy the heist in Zero Build mode (for building-averse players) and across various team sizes: Duos, Squads, Unranked, and Ranked.

The Getaway Start and End Dates

The Getaway is currently live in Fortnite, but this exciting LTM departs on April 1st at 12:00 AM Eastern Time. Don't miss out! Earn valuable XP towards your Battle Pass progression while it lasts.
