Mastering Fortnite's Mending Machines: A Guide to Chapter 6, Season 1 Healing
Unlike Fortnite OG, Chapter 6, Season 1 offers diverse ways to replenish health and shields. While Mending Machines provide a convenient solution, their scarcity necessitates strategic planning. This guide pinpoints all Mending Machine locations within Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1.
Mending Machines, an upgrade from classic Vending Machines, offer crucial health and shield restoration, especially valuable during late-game scenarios. Their limited distribution across the Chapter 6 map makes locating them essential. The following locations guarantee your access to these life-saving devices:
- 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
- Seaport City (on a staircase)
Remember, a similar map icon represents both Mending Machines and Weapon-o-Matics (which dispense weapons, not heals). One Weapon-o-Matic is situated in Seaport City.
Utilizing Mending Machines
Mending Machines offer flexibility: fully restore health, or acquire Shield Potions and Med Kits. Stocking up is advisable, as finding additional heals later in the game can prove challenging.
The Cost of Healing: Gold
Using Mending Machines requires gold. This in-game currency isn't freely given; it's earned through gameplay.
Acquiring Gold
Gold acquisition is similar to obtaining ammo: defeated players drop gold, and Chests contain gold. While past seasons featured gold-rich vaults, Chapter 6, Season 1 relies on traditional methods—eliminating opponents and looting Chests.
