Like the crafting system in other multiplayer survival games such as Valheim, this new system in Fortnite allows players to use materials to upgrade weapons. This makes a lot of sense for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6, given its theme.

Players could already destroy objects to collect wood, brick, or metal to build fortifications. The system now allows players to improve weapons and items found around the map, thereby adding new dynamics to the game.

While chests are a great source of top-tier weapons and items, players can now craft their own instead of searching for chests.

Materials used for crafting can be found all around the map and can even be provided by various NPCs. Upgrading the weapons early in the game is a sure way to secure a decent loadout before moving towards the center.

A good spot to collect mechanical parts to upgrade weapons is west of Dirty Docks. Players will find a scrapyard filled with used cars just waiting to be broken down for parts. The NPC located at this location may randomly gift players with a legendary tier gun as well. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6 is turning out to be quite eventful.
