Wondering how to access Solid Gold mode in Fortnite Chapter 3? While there’s a new set of quests to complete in this mode, it’s not always clear how to get to it.

Following on from the recent Close Encounters quests, a brand new set of Solid Gold quests have just gone live in Fortnite Chapter 3, giving players another way to earn XP, level up their Battle Pass, and unlock all of those cosmetics and skins.

Solid Gold is an LTM that’s been around in Fortnite in various forms since 2018. This mode plays much the same as regular Battle Royale, except it involves a special set of rules where every weapon drop is a Legendary rarity.

However, many players are noticing a message that reads, ‘Not available in the current match’ or ‘Not available in this mode’ when trying to complete the Solid Gold quests. So how do you get to the right mode? We’re about to explain.

How to play Solid Gold in Fortnite

The easiest way to access the Solid Gold LTM in Fortnite is to enter the code 5210-2267-4798 from the ‘Island Code’ screen, although it’s not clear if you can complete the quests by using this method.

If that doesn’t work, it’s simply a case of waiting until Epic Games adds the Solid Gold LTM back into the Discover screen, which you can access by pressing the ‘Change’ button from the Fortnite lobby.

Remember that Solid Gold must be played in Squads, so gather your friends together or jump into a match with other players online. Either way, you’ve only got a limited time to complete these quests.
