Fortnite has brought back the Getaway Limited Time Mode (LTM) in Chapter 6 Season 2, following its initial introduction in Chapter 1. The return, marked by the v34.10 update, integrates exciting heist dynamics into the traditional Battle Royale format. This mode is particularly noteworthy as it also introduces a Ranked option, enabling a more competitive gaming experience that aligns with the season’s “Lawless”theme.
This article will cover everything you need to know about the revitalized Getaway mode in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2.
How to Engage in Gameplay
The central goal in the Fortnite Getaway LTM is to find and safeguard one of the four Crystal Llamas (also known as Jewels) that are dispersed throughout the Chapter 6 Season 2 map. Players can join matches solo as a duo or as part of a four-player squad. To win, teams must collect a Jewel and safely transport it to one of the allocated Getaway Vans. The first team to successfully place a Jewel in a van triumphs in the match.

The Getaway LTM is packed with key strategies centered around heist tactics. When a player carries a Jewel, their movement speed decreases, and their location becomes visible to others on the map, creating a challenge as they become easy targets. On the upside, holding onto a Jewel grants gradual restoration of Health and Shield, balancing the risk and reward.
This mode caters to different play styles by supporting both Build and Zero Build formats. Moreover, it features an accelerated rank progression compared to standard Ranked matches, influenced by individual player performance.
In-Game Rewards for Participation
Engaging in the Getaway LTM enables players to earn additional XP, which is essential for leveling up the Chapter 6 Season 2 Battle Pass. This progression is crucial for unlocking a variety of cosmetic enhancements and rewards featured in this current season.
However, if you’re hoping to unlock Ranked rewards rapidly through this mode, there’s disappointing news. According to Epic Games, participation in the Getaway LTM does not contribute to unlocking styles for existing Ranked rewards. Players looking to achieve specific competitive awards will need to partake in other game modes such as Build, Zero Build, and Ballistic.
In conclusion, the Fortnite Getaway LTM is live until April 1, 2025. After this date, there is no assurance that it will return, so be sure to experience this thrilling mode while it lasts!
