Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: All Weapon Mods and Where to Find Workbench Locations

Chapter 5 Season 1 of Fortnite introduces an interesting new mechanic: weapon modifications. Some increase your scoped view, while others reduce recoil and improve accuracy. They make you — and your opponents — deadlier. Here, I detail all of the weapon mods in Fortnite and where to find all the benches.

All Weapon Mods in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1

Epic has vaulted Upgrade Benches and Crafting Stations, with the Weapons Mod Bench arriving for the first time in Chapter 5 Season 1. The Benches allow you to add custom upgrades to various aspects of your gun and resemble the loadout customization systems in games like Call of Duty.
