Upgrade Bench

Upgrade Benches are an object found within Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were first introduced in Chapter 2: Season 1 and are found all over the Apollo and Artemis islands.

Functionality
An Upgrade Bench can be found in key locations across the Island. The benches have a white glow around the top of them, to highlight their existence and make it easier for players to locate them.

Going up to an upgrade bench allows a player to upgrade a weapon. Upgrading allows players to use increasing numbers of bars to increase the rarity, and therefore buff the statistics of held weaponry. Not every weapon supports upgrading.
