Players are tasked with the “apple a weapon mod at a mod bench” for one of the kickstart quests in the new season. Here are the locations where you can find a mod bench to apply a weapon mod in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1.

After a long wait with all the server issues since the Big Bang event followed by scheduled downtime for the new chapter, players have been able to log in and experience everything Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground has to offer.

As with all new seasons of Fortnite, we have a brand new Battle Pass consisting of over seven new skins as well as other cosmetics including some new car cosmetics.

We also have a brand new map with the following named locations/POIs:

• Rebel’s Roost
• Lavish Lair
• Ritzy Riviera
• Classy Courts
• Reckless Railways
• Grand Glacier
• Ruined Reels
• Pleasant Piazza
• Fencing Fields
• SNooty Steppes
• Hazy Hillside

New mechanics, new items in the loot pool including a combat blade, new vehicles, upgraded graphics, and other features and content are also available in Chapter 5 Season 1.

Next week, The Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival game modes will be added to the game, enough content to keep players entertaining whilst the Epic Games employees take the rest of the year off.

One aspect of the game that hasn’t changed with the release of the new chapter is the quest system. Players can easily complete most of the quest sets.

On launch, there are two main sets of quests; kickstart quests, and the normal weekly quests with the first week of quests already available to complete.

One of the quests requires players to apply a Weapon Mod at a Mod Bench. Here’s how you can complete the quest including where to find mod benches in Fortnite and where to get Weapon Mods.

Where to Find Weapon Mod Bench in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1

There are five locations on the map where players can find a mod bench on the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground map.

You can find a Mod Bench inside of the vaults. There is at least one vault at the locations where bosses can be found. The boss locations are marked on the map, making it easier to find a Mod Bench.

In order to open and access the vaults in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, you’ll need to have a Society Medallion.

To get your hands on a Society Medallion, you’ll either need to eliminate an opponent that is carrying one (which will be marked on your map), or you’ll need to defeat one of the five bosses.

Again, the boss locations are marked when you open the Fortnite map. When you defeat the boss and get your hands on a Society Medallion, you can head to the lock scanner and you’ll be allowed in.

How to Apply a Weapon Mod in Fortnite

Once you’re in, you should find the mod bench on the left side of the vault. Simple walk up to the Weapon Mod Bench and interact with it.

Click the interact button you’ve set to use a Weapon Mod Bench in Fortnite and then apply any weapon mod you desire.

You’ll need gold bars to be able to apply a weapon mod at a mod bench. Once you’ve done the above, you’ll have completed the challenge.

Players have been tasked with the “search a weapon case” quest as part of the kickstart quests for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1. Here are the locations where you can find and search a weapon case.

A few hours ago, the Fortnite servers came back online and players were able to drop into Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground for the first time to experience all the new content.

As with all new seasons, there’s a brand new Battle Pass which includes Peter Griffin as well as other skins and cosmetics for players to unlock throughout the season.

There’s also a brand new map that includes a moving train, new items including the grapple blade, new vehicles including Lamborghini, new movement mechanics, and much more.

As expected, the quest system has remained the same although it seems as though Epic has decided to make the quests even easier than what we’ve seen in the past two chapters.

One of the Fortnite kickstart quests requires players to search a weapon case. Here’s where you can find and search a weapon case in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1.

Here’s a quick guide to help you complete the challenge as quickly as possible.

What is a Weapon Case in Fortnite?

A weapon case is exactly as what the name suggests, a case with a weapon in it.

Where to Find and Search a Weapon Case in Fortnite

There are a number of locations on the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 map where players can find and search a weapon case in Fortnite.

One of the locations you’ll find Weapon Cases is in Ruined Reels on the north side of the location.

Here’s the location where you’ll find them:

This is what they look like:

Simple go up to the case and click the button you’re prompted with in order to search a weapon case and complete the challenge.

Here’s how to complete a train heist and claim the floating island capture point in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground.

After more than 14 hours of downtime, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground is now available to players to jump in and experience all the new features and content the season has to offer.

We have a brand new map, new movement mechanics, new items in the loot pool, three new game modes that’ll be released next week, and much more.

The quest system has remained the same although it looks like the weekly quests will be easier than what we saw in the previous two chapters of Fortnite.

However, one of the quests that were made available today can be slightly difficult with players struggling to complete the ‘complete a train heist and claim the floating island capture point’.

If you’re one of those players struggling, we’ve created a guide to help you complete the week one quest as easily as possible.

How to Complete a Train Heist in Fortnite

Epic Games decided to add a train onto a Fortnite map for the first time in the Battle Royale’s history.

When you load into a game, you can spot the location of the train as you drop into a game. You can also the where the train is if you open your map. The train will be marked with a diamond shape.

To complete a train heist in Fortnite, it would be best to land on the train immediately as someone else might heist the train if you decide to do it later in the game.

At the front of the train, you’ll find that there’s a cache. Drop onto the train and activate it. Once you’ve done that grab some weapons from the bags on the wall and find a good spot on the train.

There will likely be other players, so it’s imperative to find good items to defend yourself and the train, so a good vantage point is also key.

When you’re trying to complete a train heist in Fortnite, you’ll see there’s a capture progress bar. That’ll need to be completed in order to successfully complete a train heist in Fortnite.

Once you’ve completed the above steps and finished the heist, you’ll see the graffiti being added to the section of the train you’re in.

Where to Find and Claim Floating Island Capture Point in Fortnite Location

In order to complete the claim the floating island part of this challenge, you’ll need to wait until later in the match for the loot island to spawn on the map.

This usually happens when there are 25 players left in the game. The Floating Island in Fortnite will be marked on your map. The Floating Island can get crowded pretty quickly, so you’ll need to be ready.

To get onto the Floating Island, you can use one of the many zip lines.

The location of the floating island in Fortnite will be different in each match, but you’ll see an icon and find it on the map when it appears in your game.

When you’re on the floating island, you can claim the floating island capture point near the middle of the island.

You’ll find a flag in the middle of a circle, and you’ll need to stay on the Floating Island capture point until the progress bar has been completed.

Once you’ve done the above steps, you’ll have completed the Complete a Train Heist And Claim The Floating Island Capture Point quest.

Here’s everything you need to know about Society Medallions in Fortnite including the locations of where to find them and what they do.

After a longer-than-expected downtime, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground is finally live and players can jump in to experience everything the new chapter has to offer.

A new map, Battle Pass, loot pool, movement mechanics, and three new game modes have started the new chapter off on the right foot.

Augments will be making a return along with bosses and mythic items. Bosses now drop Society Medallions.

Here’s everything you need to know about Society Medallions in Fortnite including where to find them and what they do.

What are Fortnite Society Medallions?

Society Medallions in Fortnite are Medallions obtained by defeating one of the five bosses found on the Fortnite chapter 5 map.

Players that find them are wondering what they do. When you keep a Medllion in your inventory, your shield will regenerate over time.

The more Society Medallions in your inventory, the more shield that will regenerate with each tick.

If you have a Society Medallion in your inventory, you will be marked on the opponents’ map. The more social medallions you have, the more precise the radius of your exact location.

Here’s a little more information on the medallions thanks to Hypex:

Where to find Society Medallions

When you’re in a game, players can open the map to find where the bosses are. Defeating a boss will provide you with Medallions.

On the map, you’ll see the Medallions marked on the map. Your best bet would be to land at a boss that is furthest away from the Battle Bus route.

Fortnite Assist in Collecting a Society Medallion Location

Open the map when you load into a game and choose which bos you’ll want to try and defeat.

Simply defeat the boss and pick up the medallion to complete the “assist in collecting a society medallion” Fortnite quest.

If you’re doing this with one or more teammates, the challenge will complete as long as you do damage to the boss even if someone else picks up the Medallion from your team.

Epic Games is providing players with an easy way to get their hands on a Free Fortnite Lego-themed skin, Explorer Emilie. Here’s how you can get yours.

We’ve known for months that Epic Games has been working on a LEGO collaboration. Originally, rumors pointed towards a month-long Lego-themed season.

However, that didn’t turn out to be true. Instead, Epic released Fortnite season OG, which marked their most successful month in terms of player count since the Battle Royale game launched in 2017.

The OG map has been removed after the live event to make way for a new map During the event, players got to experience a taste of three of the new modes coming to Fortnite.

The most anticipated of the three is the Lego Fortnite open world survival crafting game that will be available to play on December 7th.

Epic Games has already announced that there will be a Lego skin style for over 1,200 Fortnite skins in today’s v28.00 update, and it’s highly likely any new skin that’s released in the item shop will have a Lego style that comes with it.

It looks like Epic will also be providing players with a free Fortnite Lego-themed skin called Explorer Emilie, and here’s how you can get it.

How to Get Explorer Emilie Fortnite Lego Skin – Lego Insiders Sign Up

Epic never shies away from providing the Fortnite player base with free cosmetics, and the launch of their collaboration with Lego is no different.

Players can unlock an Explorer Emilie skin that will be available to use in both Battle Royale and the Lego Fortnite game modes.

Here’s what the skin looks like:

Lego Explorer Emilie Fortnite Skin Style

Explorer Emilie Fortnite Skin Style

To get the Lego-themed Explorer Emilie Fortnite skin, players need to do the following:

1. Sign up for LEGO Insiders (if you haven’t already).
2. Link your Epic Games and LEGO accounts. Head to EpicGames.com/login and click on the LEGO logo.
3. Load up Fortnite to find a new Explorer Emilie Style inside your Fortnite locker.

The skin will be released on December 7th, the same day the Lego Fortnite open world survival crafting game will be available.

Here’s a list of all the new Fortnite Reality Augments that’ll be available in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground.

Although the Fortnite servers are still down for scheduled maintenance, data miners have been leaking all the content content that the new chapter has introduced.

Players can look forward to the Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Festival modes along with a brand new map, loot pool changes, and much more.

Are Reality Augments Back in Fortnite?

With Epic ending Chapter 4 with the OG map, they decided to remove Augments from the game to provide players with a closer experience to the OG Fortnite.

However, it was always likely Augments would be returning to the game in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, and data miners have confirmed that’s the case.

All of the Augments that will be available in the first season of Chapter 5 are listed below along with what they do.

Epic Games is providing all Fortnite players with Lego skin styles for outfits they already own.

During the Big Bang live event yesterday, Epic Games provided players with a taste of three of the new modes that will be released with the launch of Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground.

The first phase of the live event took around parts of the new Lego Fortnite open world map that will be released next week on December 7th, 2023.

Out of the three modes, it appears as though most players are most excited for Lego Fortnite with the new Lego Fortnite account already amassing more than 100,000 followers.

With the reveal of the mode, players have been wondering how Lego Fortnite skins would work and if there will be any Lego skins in the Battle Royale version of Fortnite.

Although it doesn’t seem like that’s a possibility, Epic has confirmed every Fortnite skin will have a Lego style to use in the new game mode.

Lego Fortnite Skin Sets For Free

In a blog post, Epic announced the introduction of Lego styles for Fortnite skins.

With the Fortnite v28.00 update, more than 1,200 Fortnite skins will now have a Lego style.

Lego styles will be available to use in the upcoming Lego experiences inside of Fortnite including the new survival crafting mode that was teased in the live event.

The Lego Fortnite styles are free as long as you own the skin, and some of the existing emotes you have can also be used with the Lego styles of the outfits you own.

Where to Find Lego Styles for Fortnite Skins

To find Outfits that have a LEGO Style, check the Outfit’s detail page when browsing the Shop or your Locker. New LEGO Styles will be added to Fortnite often! Be sure to check your Locker to see if a higher detailed LEGO Style will be added in the future.

Here’s a look at all of the Fortnite skins that have high-quality models in the v28.00 files along with some images of how the Lego Fortnite skins look in the locker.

And here’s the trailer showing the Lego Fortnite-style transfer:

Here’s the first look at the new map for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground.

Fortnite Chapter 4 concluded with the Big Bang event yesterday which saw the OG map being sucked into the Zero Point for the second time.

Since then, there have been multiple issues with the Fortnite and Epic Games servers, but the Fortnite servers are currently down in order to prepare them for the release of the new season.

As expected, data miners are leaking all the new content players can expect to see once the servers are back online.

One of the things players are most looking forward to is the new map, which was leaked a couple of weeks ago.

However, we now have a better look at some of the locations along with an overview of the map that data miners have posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Here’s a look at the map and some of the locations.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Map – Season 1 Locations

Here are all the named locations that’ll be featured on the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 map:

• Rebel’s Roost
• Lavish Lair
• Ritzy Riviera
• Classy Courts
• Reckless Railways
• Grand Glacier
• Ruined Reels
• Pleasant Piazza
• Fencing Fields
• SNooty Steppes
• Hazy Hillside

Thanks to the official patch notes, we have some images of some of the new locations including the train track, Hazy Hillside, and Grand Glacier Hotel.

With the Fortnite Winterfest 2023 event fast approaching Epic has decided to extend the snow on the map so it covers past the boreal snow biome and reaches the boreal forest and boreal tundra too.

Here’s an overview of the map:

The post New Fortnite Map – All Chapter 5 Season 1 Locations appeared first on Fortnite Insider.

Here are the early patch notes for the new Fortnite v28.00 (4.08) update today. The 3 December 2023 release sees the introduction of Chapter 5 Season 1 Underground.

Epic Games concluded Fortnite chapter 4 with the Big Bang live event. The OG map is no more, but only for a short time.

Epic announced that they broke a new record with over 100 million players playing Fortnite in November.

For that reason, Epic has decided to bring back the Fortnite OG map in 2024. However, there is no official release date for it yet.

With rumors of the second season of chapter 5 launching in March, that seems a likely date for the return of the OG map. It’s unlikely Epic would release in the first season of a new chapter that’ll include a brand new map.

Speaking of Fortnite Chapter 5, leaks from a few weeks ago provided some insight into what players could expect.

We knew there would be racing, music, and Lego game modes released at some point in Chapter 5. However, no one would have expected all three to release in the first season.

During the Big Bang live event, for the first time, Epic revolved the event around everything the new chapter and season of Fortnite has to offer.

Once we were sucked into the Zero Point during the first phase of the live event, players were taken into the Lego Fortnite open world game mode.

Although we don’t have any information in regards to how it’ll work and the mechanics that’ll be in the game mode, we got a good glimpse of the map and we know it’ll be releasing on December 7th, four days after the release of Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground.

The Rocket Racing Fortnite game mode was also featured in the second phase of the live event. The mode has been updated in the game files numerous times over the past few months, and data miners have leaked a lot of the content.

A “garage” lobby tab was leaked that allows you to look at your own Rocket League-owned cars in Fortnite. We’ve also had confirmation car skins will be in the Chapter 5 Season 1 Battle Pass.

The racing game mode will be released one day after the Lego Fortnite game mode, Friday 8th December 2023.

The final game mode, Fortnite Festival, was the third and final phase of the Big Bang live event. The game mode is similar to guitar hero, and it’ll be released on December 9th, 2023.

Aside from the game modes listed above, all of which won’t be released on the same day the v28.00 Fortnite update releases today, here is what else we can expect to see in today’s 4.08 Fortnite update.

C5S1 v28.00 New Season Download File Size

When a new Fortnite update launches, some players want to know about large the file size is for the new download.

When the v28.00 (4.08) Fortnite update has been pushed on all platforms, we’ll update the section below with how large the download it.

Fortnite 28.00 (4.08) Update Early Patch Notes – 3 December 2023 (12/3/23)

Battle Pass

A new season of Fortnite means a new Battle Pass. Although we don’t know the names of the skins, we do know Peter Griffin will be in this season’s Battle Pass.

Here are all the skins featured in the key art for the new season:

Weapon Mods / Attachments

Epic Games has been working on weapon mods and attachments for three years now. Leaks pointing towards weapon mods and attachments being added to the game first surfaced in December 2020.

They’ll finally be coming to the game with the release of today’s new 4.08 (28.00) Fortnite update.

Players will be able to find and attach magazines, optic sights, muzzles, foregrips, lasers, and more. We don’t have the full list right now, but we’ll be sure to update the below section with every mod and attachment.

Wall Climbing / New Movement Mechanics

Both hurdling and wall climbing will be added in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground and will be featured in the launch trailer.

Players will quickly be able to scale walls and other building and structures with ease along with the hurdling feature that was first introduced when Chapter 4 launched but was removed due to several issues.

New Weapons (Loot Pool), Grapple Blade

A new chapter of Fortnite isn’t complete without an overhaul of the loot pool. Epic usually removed the majority of the weapons in the previous chapter and replaced them with new ones.

We don’t have much insight into some of the new items being added apart from the Grapple Blade that was featured in the trailer.

The Grapple Blade works as both a grapple item and a close-ranged item to deal damage to opponents.

New Cars and Lamborghini

Players will now be able to find and use Lamborghinis in Fortnite. The trailer featured the Lamborghinis along with other sports cars, SUVs, and Octanes.

New Map

A new chapter comes with a brand new Fortnite map. Although players will be unhappy that the Fortnite OG map won’t be available until next year, a new map is always welcome.

We got some glimpses of some of the locations we’ll have on the new map, but we don’t have an overview or other images of the Chapter 5 map yet.

We’ll update this article with any new information along with posting the full patch notes once they’re available.

Let us know in the comments section below what you’re most excited about with the release of the 28.00 (4.08) Fortnite update.

The post Fortnite New Update Today v28.00 (4.08) Early Patch Notes – Chapter 5 Season 1 Underground 3 December 2023 appeared first on Fortnite Insider.

Epic Games has confirmed the release dates for the Lego Fortnite Open World map game mode along with the Rocket Racing mode.

Fortnite Chapter 4 concluded with the Big Bang live event which also saw the end of the OG map for at least a couple of months.

With Epic Games posting a record amount of players in November thanks to the Fortnite OG season, they announced on Twitter that the OG map would be returning in 2024.

There’s no official release date planned, but it’s unlikely to come in the first season of Fortnite. With rumors the second season of Chapter 5 will launch in March, that seems like a possible release date for the return of the OG map.

In the meantime, players have the new chapter of Fortnite to look forward to. With major additions including new movement, a new grappling item, item mods, and new game modes, Chapter 5 will likely be the most highly anticipated chapter in some time.

During the Big Bang live event, players got a glimpse at three of the new game modes that’ll be available in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground.

Lego Fortnite, an open-world map, will be available within a week of the new chapter launching along with the Rocket Racing game mode and Fortnite Festival.

Here are the release dates for each of the above game modes.

Fortnite Festival Release Date

Epic Games stated that the Fortnite Festival game mode will be released on December 9, 2023. We know from the image released with the announcement that The Weeknd will feature in the new game mode.

Thanks to the taste of the game mode we experienced in the live event, we know it’ll be Guitar Hero-esque.

Rocket Racing Fortnite Game Mode Release Date

We’ve known for a few months that Epic Games has been working on a racing game mode. We also knew it would be released at some stage during chapter 5.

However, after today’s live event, Epic confirmed that the Rocket Racing game mode will release in Fortnite on December 8th, 2023.

Know no limits.#RocketRacing launches in Fortnite on December 8th, 2023. pic.twitter.com/OR9hWvZptt

Lego Fortnite Open World Map Release Date

A few months ago, insiders at Epic Games leaked that Fortnite chapter 4 will end with a Lego-themed season. However, that clearly wasn’t the case with Fortnite OG release at the start of November.

However, a couple of weeks ago, reliable sources stated that there would be a Fortnite x Lego collaboration with the launch of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground.

During the live event, we got to see the Lego Fortnite open world map, and for me, it was the best part of the live event.

After the event, Epic Games retweeted the new Lego Fortnite Twitter account’s post that provided a teaser video for the release of the Lego Fortnite open-world map collaboration.

The Lego Fortnite open-world map has a release date of Thursday, December 7th, 2023.
