If you're eager to dive into some thrilling heist action in *Fortnite*, The Getaway is the perfect Limited Time Mode for you. Initially introduced in Chapter 1 Season 5 and making a triumphant return in Chapter 6 Season 2, this mode brings a fresh twist to the game. Here's your guide to experiencing The Getaway, along with details on how long it will be available.
Playing The Getaway in Fortnite
Getting started with The Getaway in *Fortnite* is straightforward. Simply launch *Fortnite* on your preferred platform, navigate to the Lobby, and then select Discover. Here, you'll find The Getaway; just hit the Play button to join the queue.
If you're having trouble locating it, use the search bar 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 an exhilarating heist-style game mode where your mission is to snatch a jewel from the map and make a swift escape in a Getaway Van. This is a PvP mode, pitting you against other teams who are equally determined to secure the jewels.
Victory goes to the first three teams that successfully grab a jewel and escape, but you can also win by eliminating rival teams. What's exciting this time is that The Getaway is also accessible in Zero Build mode, catering to those who prefer to skip *Fortnite*'s building aspect. You can enjoy this mode in Duos, Squads, Unranked, and Ranked settings.
The Getaway Start and End Dates
The Getaway is currently live in *Fortnite*, but mark your calendars because it will conclude on April 1 at 12 a.m. Eastern Time. I highly recommend jumping into this mode during its run, as you'll also earn XP that contributes to your battle pass progression.
