Fortnite Limited Time Mode: Getaway Guide

The Getaway is an exciting Limited Time Mode that made its debut in *Fortnite* during Chapter 1 Season 5 and has returned in Chapter 6 Season 2. Here’s everything you need to know about playing The Getaway in *Fortnite*, including its duration.

Playing The Getaway in Fortnite

Starting The Getaway in *Fortnite* is straightforward. Simply launch *Fortnite* on your preferred platform, head to the Lobby, and select Discover. Look for The Getaway and hit the Play button to start queuing. If you can't find it, use the search bar in the top left corner of the Lobby, type in "The Getaway," and it should appear instantly.

What Is The Getaway?

The Getaway is a thrilling heist-style game mode where players must retrieve a jewel from the map and escape using a Getaway Van. This PvP mode pits you against other teams vying for the same jewels. The first three teams to secure a jewel and escape with a van are declared winners, though you can also win by eliminating rival teams. A unique aspect of this iteration of The Getaway is its availability in Zero Build mode, catering to players who prefer not to use *Fortnite*'s building mechanics. Additionally, you can play in Duos, Squads, Unranked, and Ranked formats.

The Getaway Start and End Dates

The Getaway is currently available in *Fortnite* and will remain so until April 1, at 12 a.m. Eastern Time. I highly recommend playing during this time, as you'll earn XP that contributes to your battle pass progression.
