In Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, unlike the Fortnite OG mode's lack of healing options, players have multiple ways to replenish health and shields. While Mending Machines offer a convenient solution, their scarcity necessitates knowing their locations. This guide details all Mending Machine locations in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1.
Finding Mending Machines in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1
Mending Machines, an upgrade to the classic Vending Machines, provide health and shield restoration. Essential for survival, especially in late-game scenarios, these machines are sparsely distributed across the Chapter 6 map. The Escapist has compiled a complete list of their locations:
- Brutal Boxcars train station (inside)
- West side of the gas station north of Shining Span
- East side of the gas station in Burd
- Buildings east of Warrior’s Watch
- Staircase in Seaport City
Locate them using their map icon, resembling the machines themselves. Note that Weapon-o-Matic machines, which dispense weapons but not heals, share a similar icon; one is located in Seaport City.
Utilizing Mending Machines in Fortnite
Interacting with a Mending Machine presents choices. Replenish full health if needed, or acquire Shield Potions and Med Kits. Stockpiling these is crucial, especially in long-range engagements where enemy loot may be inaccessible.
Remember, Mending Machine transactions require gold. Fortnite's economy necessitates this in-game currency.
Acquiring Gold in Fortnite
If you're unfamiliar with Battle Royale's gold system, understand that gold is readily available throughout the map. It's used for purchasing items, recruiting NPCs, and more.
Gold is found in player loot after eliminations and within Chests. While previous seasons featured gold vaults, they are absent in Chapter 6, Season 1. Therefore, acquiring gold relies on eliminating opponents and looting their possessions, or opening numerous chests (though less exciting!).

Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Meta Quest 2 and 3.
