Fortnite Upgrade Bench locations: How to upgrade weapons & costs

The Upgrade Bench is a useful tool for taking your weapons to the next level in Fortnite. They first appeared in Chapter 2 and may now be seen on the Chapter 4 Season 2 island. Here’s how you can find one and use it.

The island in Fortnite contains a number of features designed to bring players one step closer to the coveted Victory Royale. Players have access to a broad variety of weaponry and may even improve their existing arsenals in this game.

They always strive to acquire weapons of the highest rarity possible to deal the most damage possible to their opponents. Since they can’t always receive a rarer weapon through conventional loot means, they often have to pay a price to have their existing weapons improved.

The quickest method to level up your weaponry in Fortnite is at one of the many Upgrade Benches spread across the island. One of the latest Fortnite Trials quest requires players to use an Upgrade bunch. Here’s where to look for one and how to use it.

How to use an Upgrade Bench in Fortnite

Fortnite makes it easy to use an Upgrade Bench. Find one using the white arrow symbol on your mini-map and you’ll be good to go. When you locate it, you can upgrade your weapon by just approaching it while having it equipped.

Upgrading your weapon will cost gold, so be sure you have plenty on hand before you make the move. You may then upgrade your weapon by spending the required number of bars after approaching the bench.

To finalize your upgrade, you’ll need to spend enough bars to raise your weapon’s rarity, which you may do upon interacting with the bench in the game.

Cost of Weapon Upgrades

In Fortnite, players may choose from four distinct tiers of weapon upgrades when they visit an Upgrade Bench. These levels allow for a smooth progression from one rarity to the next, all the way up to legendary rarity, beyond which no more upgrades are possible.

Here’s how much it costs to upgrade each weapon tier in Fortnite:

Rarity Upgrade	Cost (in Gold Bars)
Common to Uncommon	100
Uncommon to Rare	250
Rare to Epic	375
Epic to Legendary	500

You can’t use an Upgrade Bench to raise the stats of a Legendary, Mythic, Exotic, or Utility item.
