Same issue here. I go to the bench and it tells me to upgrade the bench to 500 and press and hold square. When I do it takes me to something different. Wait. I just played along with whatever that weird thing was and it upgraded. Weird.Originally Posted by smudger31165 Go to original post
When upgrading your crafting bench you will need to deconstruct 2 high end items (a gun and a piece of gear) as part of the process.
When you select "upgrade crafting bench" it will take you to an inventory screen to allow you to choose which gear item and which weapon item you wish to deconstruct/destroy in order to proceed with the bench upgrade.
If you do not have a spare high end gun and gear piece available in your inventory (to deconstruct as part of the process) you cannot upgrade the bench.
To the OP (Smudger31165)….all exotic items now craft at maximum stats (GS 500).
Ensure that you have the necessary high end gun and gear piece (spare ones that you can deconstruct as part of the process) in your inventory when attempting to upgrade your bench.
