Upgrade Benches in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 work wonders for players who’ve collected nothing but underwhelming loot. These can boost the rarity and power of any of your current weapons, but this does come at the cost of some gold. As this is incredibly handy in your quest to get a victory royale, the benches come in a limited quantity. No matter, they’re fairly easy to get to and are placed all around the map.
There are 18 Upgrade Benches throughout the map, with most of them placed either behind a gas station or inside the auto body shops. Of course, you’ll need at least one gun in your inventory to use these, but you are able to upgrade multiple weapons at just one bench.
The price to upgrade starts a 200 gold when morphing Common weapons into Uncommon ones. From there, expect to pay an additional 100 gold per rarity tier. For instance, Uncommon weapons being upgraded to Rare will require 300 gold, 400 gold to upgrade to an Epic rarity, and so forth. Thus, you’ll be paying a hefty toll when upgrading a Common to an Epic — which would be 900 gold.
If you’ve managed to scrounge up a great amount of gold, here’s where you should head to find an upgrade bench.
