Unlike *Fortnite OG*, which lacks heals, *Fortnite* Battle Royale Chapter 6, Season 1 offers plenty of ways to restore your shield and health. One of the key resources for this is the Mending Machine, although these are scarce. Here's a comprehensive guide to all the Mending Machine locations in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 1.
Where To Find All the Mending Machines in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1
The Mending Machine, an evolved version of the iconic Vending Machine, provides crucial healing items, making it a lifesaver when you're running low on health, especially in the later stages of a match. Although there are only a few Mending Machines scattered across the Chapter 6 map, we've got you covered with all their locations:
- Inside the train station in Brutal Boxcars
- On the west side of the gas station north of Shining Span
- On the east side of the gas station in Burd
- In the buildings east of Warrior's Watch
- On a staircase in Seaport City
You can spot these machines by looking for a small icon on the map that resembles the Mending Machine. However, be cautious as there's also a Weapon-o-Matic that uses a similar icon but dispenses weapons instead of heals. You can find one of these in Seaport City.
How To Use Mending Machines in Fortnite
Upon reaching a Mending Machine, you'll face a few choices. If your health is low, you can fully restore it. Alternatively, if you're already at full health, you can stock up on Shield Potions and Med Kits. It's wise to gather these supplies, as you might not find more later, especially in long-range combat where you can't loot fallen enemies.
Remember, using the Mending Machine requires gold. The *Fortnite* economy relies on this currency, and while it's not difficult to acquire, you'll need it to access the machine's benefits.

How To Get Gold in Fortnite
If you're new to *Fortnite* Battle Royale since the introduction of *LEGO Fortnite*, you might be unfamiliar with how to collect gold. In every match, you can gather gold scattered across the map, which you can then use to buy items, recruit NPCs, and more.
Gold is as abundant in *Fortnite* as ammo, dropping from defeated players and found in Chests. While previous seasons featured vaults filled with gold and Rare Chests, these are absent in Chapter 6, Season 1. Therefore, you'll need to collect gold the traditional way – by eliminating opponents and looting their gold, or by opening multiple Chests.
That wraps up all the Mending Machine locations in *Fortnite* Chapter 6, Season 1. For additional tips to gain an advantage, check out how to enable and use Simple Edit in Battle Royale.
