The Getaway is an exciting Limited Time Mode that was first introduced in *Fortnite* during Chapter 1 Season 5 and has made a comeback in Chapter 6 Season 2. Here's everything you need to know about playing The Getaway, including its duration.
Playing The Getaway in Fortnite
Starting The Getaway in *Fortnite* is straightforward. Launch Fortnite on your preferred platform, navigate to the Lobby, and then click on Discover. Look for The Getaway and hit the Play button to join the queue. If you're having trouble finding 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 secure a jewel from the map and make a successful escape using a Getaway Van. This PvP mode pits you against other teams vying for the same jewels. The first three teams to grab a jewel and escape in a van are declared winners, but you can also secure victory by eliminating rival teams. What's particularly exciting this time is that The Getaway is available in Zero Build mode, catering to players who prefer not to engage with *Fortnite*'s building mechanics. You can play in Duos, Squads, Unranked, and Ranked formats.
The Getaway Start and End Dates
The Getaway is currently live in *Fortnite* and will be available until April 1, at 12 a.m. Eastern Time. I highly recommend diving into this mode during this window, as you can earn XP that contributes to your battle pass progression.
