Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 contains nearly two dozen weapons for you and your squad to wield, though don’t always expect to hit the best of their rarities right away. In most cases, chests mainly gift players with less damaging Common and Uncommon weapons, but luckily, there are upgrade benches to alleviate this frustration. These are small structures that ask for various amounts of gold to evolve your weapons to higher rarity loot. This is where you can find all of the upgrade banks in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1.
Where to find upgrade banks in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1
At the time of writing, you can find 10 upgrade banks on the most recent map, though this number is likely to increase as the chapter progresses. Before you travel to one of these, you should make sure you have some gold on hand. It will cost 200 gold to transform any common weapon into a rare, while that price increases by 100 gold each time you evolve into another rarity. So a rare weapon can be upgraded to rare for 300 gold, as it will take another 400 gold to go from rare to epic.
