Fortnite Season 2 introduces a brand-new feature called weapon upgrades. In short, it allows players to spend small amounts of materials to increase the loot tier of a weapon in their inventory. Using Weapon Upgrade Benches, it's possible to secure high-tier loot without relying purely on random luck. In this guide, we'll tell you how to upgrade weapons and where to find Upgrade Benches.
The Basics of Weapon UpgradesAs many Fortnite fans will likely know, the popular Battle Royale features five basic tiers of loot.
Each of these tiers offers weapons with slightly improved stats from the previous level. Using a Weapon Upgrade Bench, it's possible to upgrade a Common Shotgun, for example, all the way to Legendary provided you've harvested enough mats to do so. Here are the costs associated with advancing each tier.
While it's still technically possible to find a high-tier weapon by random chance, upgrades offer a path to guarantee them if a player chooses.
Weapon Upgrade Bench LocationsIn order to upgrade a weapon in Fortnite, players must find a Weapon Upgrade Bench. These benches look like this. There are well over a dozen Weapon Upgrade Bench locations scattered across the Battle Royale map. Here are just a few spots to look out for.

Of course, as those who've experienced Fortnite Chapter 2 will know, there's far more to the new season than just weapon upgrades. The old Battle Royale map has been totally replaced, squad mechanics allow players to carry teammates and motorboats fill the aquatic landscape. In short, there's a lot about Fortnite Chapter 2 that will feel new even to longtime fans.
Fortnite is available now on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and mobile.
