How Fortnite Weapon Mods work: Attachments explained

Here are all Weapon Mods in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 and how you can use them to customize your weapons with a range of attachments to create the best guns for your play style.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 has continued to carry over the Weapon Mods feature first introduced at the start of Chapter 5. Epic has shaken up the meta once again this season by adding and removing weapons from its ever-changing roster, but the mods you can attach to your guns remain the same.

Weapon Mods allows players to enhance their weapons with various attachments during Fortnite matches, a feature commonly seen in popular Battle Royale games, such as Apex Legends. Here’s a detailed overview of how Weapon Mods operate this season.

How to use Weapon Mods in Fortnite

Weapon Mods can be used in Fortnite by interacting with any of the 9 Mod Benches that are located inside Weapon Bunkers across the Chapter 5 Season 3 map.

Once inside the bunker, just head over to the Weapon Mod Bench and press the use button to open the mod menu and customize your weapon.

Despite Epic not adding in any new Weapon Mods for Chapter for this season, they have scrapped the old Mod Bench UI for attaching the mods during your matches. Instead, it has been replaced by a much more sleeker and simplistic menu design that is here to stay.

Mods are available here for several weapons in exchange for 75 Gold Bars each. You can add up to four different weapon attachments of Optic, Barrel, Magazine, and Underbarrel.

Simply just select each attachment you want for each of your guns and then hold down the “Buy & Equip” button to make your purchase.

Moreover, you can also acquire weapons from a loot chest which will already have a mod installed to it. Different weapons across several rarities will have a fixed number of mods attached to them already:

• Uncommon Rarity Weapon – One pre-installed Weapon Mod.
• Rare Rarity Weapon – Two pre-installed Weapon Mods.
• Epic Rarity Weapon – Three pre-installed Weapon Mods.
• Legendary Rarity Weapon – Four pre-installed Weapon Mods.

Although some weapons will already be modded, you can still replace the attachments using a Mod Bench and choose your preferred mod. Also, bear in mind that mod-compatible weapons aren’t for sale from Characters or Vending Machines, so make sure to keep an eye out for loot.
