From Vending Machines to NPCs, Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 continues to offer a number of ways to directly purchase guns and weapons. However, one-lesser known change to the season is the increase of Upgrade Benches throughout the island, making it much easier to upgrade these weapons compared to last season. In total, there are 21 benches players can discover and almost all of them are near named locations.
Similar to Season 1, Upgrade Benches are primarily located inside gas stations or small brick sheds outside of points of interest. You can boost almost any gun’s rarity by spending gold at these benches, but Mythic and Exotic weapons are not eligible for an upgrade. Prices for upgrading start at 200 Gold for those turning a Common gun into an Uncommon, and the cost will rise an additional 100 Gold for each rarity above it. Here are all Upgrade Bench prices and locations.
