Subject to an Epic Quest in Week 3 after you have finished traveling between Porta-potties, the third and last step of Rick Sanchez’s questline requires for you to find and use Nuts and Bolts to upgrade weapons a total of three times.
This Fornite Season 7 challenge will reward you with 30k XP, which will help you earn Battle Stars for the new Battle Pass skins.

What’s new? Chapter 3 Season 3 has arrived! New additions include Reality Seeds and Saplings and riding animals, along with the new Battle Pass, characters collection and map changes.
It’s a good idea to know how to get XP fast in Fortnite.
That being said, there are two NPCs who sell Nuts and Bolts in exchange of gold, and you can find the locations below:
One of them is Rick Sanchez, who’s located on the top floor of the IO Base east of Weeping Woods. The second NPC is Marigold, who can be found roaming in the eastern building within Lazy Lake, usually walking around the pool area or on the rooftop.
Between the two, we had a hard time trying to talk to Rick Sanchez without stumbling with another player who didn’t hesitate to take us down, so we recommend heading towards Marigold’s location instead.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Chapter 1 is here, complete with a new augments system, the coming arrival of Geralt and the Ageless Champion to beat! We’ve also got a present list for Winterfest and Cozy Lodge and pizza slice locations.
Meanwhile, learn how to get XP fast, earn the Victory Umbrella, find character locations and earn a Victory Crown.
You’ll find plenty of guns nearby (don’t worry about the rarity when picking them up unless they’re legendary) to do this as fast as possible, and without drawing too much attention.
First, you’re gonna want to talk to Marigold and purchase Nuts and Bolts at 25 gold pieces a pop. If you need some gold, try taking down a few enemies (usually drop 8 pieces each) or destroy furniture inside houses and other locations.
Then, once you have looted a weapon that can be upgrade, you will notice an animated hammer icon on top of them. Open your inventory, select the weapon, and head to the crafting tab - craft the upgrade and you’ll be set.
From here, all you need to do is repeat the action a total of three times. Depending on the weapon’s rarity, you might need more than one set of Nuts and Bolts, so try not to stray too far from Marigold.
After using Nuts and Bolts three times, the quest will be over, and you can use your shiny new weapon to take on any players that get in your way.
