Upgrade benches take returned to Fortnite in Chapter 2 Season vii. They can one time over again exist plant all over the map, near named locations and landmarks alike. Things are a little different this fourth dimension as we no longer need materials to upgrade weapons. Weapon upgrades now cost gold instead. On the map below you can find the location of various upgrades benches in Chapter two Season 7.

Gold this flavour can exist gotten from eliminated enemies, looting chests, and quests. Quests tin be picked up from the seasonal NPCs, or from Payphones and compensation boards that are dotted all over the map.

Equally ever, the quests will give yous a status that you demand to achieve, such as loot a certain object or getting an elimination with a sure weapon, and when yous practise information technology, you volition get gilt in render. It costs 200 Gilded to upgrade a weapon at an upgrade bench if that weapon is Common, and it gets more expensive equally the rarity increases, so it is non cheap.

Truthfully, upgrading your weapons this style isn't not very gold efficient, then unless you lot have a huge surplus of Gold, or need to finish a challenge, your are better off avoiding it.
