Updated: Jun 30

Fortnite Chapter 5: Mod Benches and Vaults Explained

So, Fortnite’s thrown another curveball at us with Chapter 5, and it's got something really cool—Mod Benches for weapon customization. Yep, you heard right. These benches are tucked away in vaults around the map. Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of where to find them, how to get access, and why they’re a game changer.

Where to Find Mod Benches

In Chapter 5, these Mod Benches ain’t just lying around in plain sight. They’re stashed inside vaults in some key locations like Snooty Steppes, Reckless Railways, Grand Glacier, Lavish Lair, and Fencing Fields. You gotta put in a bit of work to get to them, which makes it all the more rewarding when you do.


Unlocking Vaults: The Medallion Quest

First off, to even think about getting your hands on a Mod Bench, you need to get into a vault. And that involves tracking down a medallion. These medallions are held by area bosses. For instance, you’ve got Peter Griffin holding fort in Snooty Steppes (don’t ask how they snagged him for Fortnite!) and then there's Nisha over in Fencing Fields. Beat these bosses, snag their medallion, and you’re halfway there.


Weapon Customization Galore

Once you’ve got access to a Mod Bench, you can start cooking up some cool customizations for your weapons. Think attachments that reduce recoil, bigger mags, and better optics. The kicker? You’ve gotta pay up—each tweak costs 75 Gold. But believe me, it’s worth it. Customizing your weapon can seriously tilt the odds in your favor during a match.


Important Note

Heads up: Not all weapons are compatible with Mod Benches. Anything you picked up from Vending Machines or NPCs? Yeah, those are a no-go. Stick to using loot you’ve found or earned.

Locating the Vault

Let’s get specific with one location: the Fencing Fields. The vault here is tucked away in the basement of a big ol' house. Sounds easy, right? Well, finding the house is the easy part; getting inside, not so much.

Taking Down Nisha

Nisha’s the boss you need to deal with here. She usually hangs out inside the house, with a dozen or so guards. Yep, it's as tough as it sounds. Your best bet is to take out the guards quickly, then focus on Nisha. She's a handful but not impossible, especially if you’ve got some game experience under your belt.


Grabbing the Medallion and Opening the Vault

Once Nisha’s down and you’ve grabbed the medallion she drops, head to the basement of that big house. The medallion will unlock the vault door, and boom—you’re in. Inside is where the magic happens. You’ll find some sweet loot and, more importantly, a Mod Bench.


Using the Mod Bench

Using these benches is pretty straightforward. Just interact with it, and you can start adding attachments to your weapons. Think new optics, extended magazines, and ways to cut down on that pesky recoil. Sure, it costs some gold, but having a tricked-out weapon can make a massive difference in-game. It’s like tailored gear for your play style, making each match feel fresh and unique.


Final Thoughts

So there you have it. The whole vault and Mod Bench system in Fortnite Chapter 5 adds this sweet layer of strategy and customization. It’s more than just running and gunning now; you can really dial in your gameplay based on how you trick out your gear. Plus, it makes every match different, depending on what mods you decide to roll with.
