With the arrival of the new Season 5 in Fortnite, there has been a lot of changes in the game’s mechanism. One of the most noticeable change, however, is in the weapon upgrade system. If you are looking for the weapon upgrade benches that you used until Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4, they won’t be available anymore.
