What is Solid Gold Mode in Fortnite

Solid Gold mode is a special, limited gameplay mode added to Fortnite way back in 2018. In general, the objective is the same as a regular battle royale: be the last man standing to win, be anyone else to lose. The twist is that all dropped weapons and items are 100% guaranteed to be of Legendary quality. We’re talking the absolute cream of the crop on all players at all times. It’s truly a recipe for the best kind of chaos. There are actually some quests that you can only complete in Solid Gold mode, so it’s handy to know how to play it whenever you want.

Since Solid Gold mode is an LTM, though, it’s not always available, and even when it’s supposed to be available, players have reported difficulties with getting it to show up. The way you’re intended to access Solid Gold mode is to find it on the Discover screen, but it’s not always there. Luckily, there’s an alternative method.

Using the Island Code system, you can force an instance of the game with particular parameters in place, kind of like seeds in a roguelike. In the Island Code prompt, simply enter in 5210-2267-4798 to get an instance with Solid Gold turned on.
