A high-ranking Fortnite NPC, known as Rook, is preparing ground troops for the fall of the Mothership. To gain a tactical advantage, she wants loopers across the island to upgrade their weapons.

Although the IO does have powerful weapons, there's nothing like shooting aliens with a customized Legendary weapon. With that being said, players who agree to upgrade their weapons will receive 30,000 experience points as a reward.

How to complete the "Upgrade to an Epic or Legendary weapon" Week 13 Epic Challenge

In order to complete this challenge, players need to locate an upgrade bench and upgrade any weapon to either Epic or Legendary tiers. Crafting weapons using Nanites will more than likely not work.

In order to craft and upgrade weapons in Fortnite, players will need some gold bars. Although they aren't that difficult to come by (as players can find them simply by looting chests), a lot of them will be needed.

An easy way to get gold bars in-game is by completing timed challenges which can be obtained from payphones or by eliminating players marked for elimination on the bounty board.

Depending on the individual skill level and proficiency in Fortnite, the time taken to get the needed amount of gold bars may vary. However, for the average player, two to three matches will be needed at the very least.
