Fortnite’s fifth season in Chapter 2 is underway, and there are lots of new areas to discover and content to unlock. The most notable addition is perhaps the new NPCs you can find around the map. You can accept bounties from there, complete quests, and even upgrade weapons. No more workbenches are required. Here’s how to upgrade weapons in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5.
Before going through the process of upgrading weapons, make sure you have enough Gold Bars. You can collect these by eliminating other players, opening chests, and completing bounties.
How to Upgrade Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5
To upgrade weapons in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5, you can speak to specific NPCs and pay them Gold Bars. Each rarity of weapon costs you a particular amount, which increases as your weapon becomes more powerful. Here’s the breakdown of weapon upgrades by Gold Bar cost:
- Uncommon: 25 Gold Bars
- Rare: 50 Gold Bars
- Epic: 145 Gold Bars
- Legendary: 345 Gold Bars
Where to upgrade Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5
Only certain NPCs can upgrade your weapons this season, so you need to make sure to make a note of them.
- Reese: Dirty Docks
- Brutus: Dirty Docks
- Grimbles: Fort Crumpet
- Kit: Catty Corner
- Reaper: Southwest of Sweaty Sands
- Kondor: Misty Meadows
- Sparkplug: Lazy Lake
- Tomato Head: Pizza Pit
- Beef Boss: Durr Burger Food Truck
- Fishstick: Craggy Cliffs
One challenge requires you to Upgrade Weapons, so you may want to focus on visiting different NPCs and upgrading your basic grey weapons to uncommon, which only costs 25 Gold Bars a pop. The characters (or NPCs) are only available in standard matches, so you cannot upgrade weapons in a Team Rumble match.
