Fortnite Season 7 features several Upgrade Benches that loopers can use to upgrade their weapons. The Week 1 Challenge also asks players to use the Upgrade Benches three times.
Ever since the quest was rolled out, gamers have been wondering where to find these Upgrade Benches in Fortnite Season 7.
Fortnite Season 7: Gold Bars required to use the Upgrade Benches
Upgrading weapons is way different from crafting in Fortnite Season 7. Crafting requires loopers to have mechanical objects such as nuts and bolts; however, upgrading the weapons requires gamers to have Gold Bars.
