Fortnite’s ever-evolving battle royale experience continues with Chapter 5 Season 2, introducing significant changes to points of interest (POIs), NPCs, and weapons. Among the updates is the replacement of the weapon modification workbench with Weapon Bunkers, now requiring players to locate these bunkers to access their benefits. To quickly get you in the action, let’s uncover where you can find these Weapon Bunkers in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.
Locations of the Weapon Bunkers in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.
Prior to locating a bunker in Fortnite, it’s important to note that there are only 9 of them available in the game. This scarcity makes these bunkers highly sought after, often leading to intense battles among players. Here are the locations of all the Weapon Bunkers. If you’re struggling to find them, refer to the accompanying image for visual assistance.
- Slightly southwest of Grim Gate
- Slightly southwest of The Underworld
- South of Pleasant Piazza
- East of Lavish Lair
- West of Lavish Lair
- South of Fencing Fields
- South of Classy Courts
- North of Mount Olympus
- Northwest of Mount Olympus
Most of these bunker locations are situated in open fields or on ridges. It’s crucial not to arrive too early, as players equipped with DMRs or Sniper Rifles may ambush you from a distance.
Opening Weapon Bunkers in Fortnite
Arriving at a Weapon Bunker early in the game, you’ll find it closed. This is because in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, Weapon Bunkers open after the third storm circle closes. Therefore, it’s advisable to refrain from approaching them too soon and instead time your entry accordingly.
After the third circle closes, a marker will appear on your map (refer to the image above), signaling that Weapon Bunkers are accessible. However, it’s worth noting that not all bunkers may be available at this point, so be sure to check the map after the third circle concludes.
Be sure to keep some gold bars handy, as the mods inside the bunkers can be quite pricey. In addition to weapon mods, you’ll also discover high-tier loot caches and epic chests, providing access to top-level weapons and other useful items, including Olympian Powers.
